How do you get your vocalists?

Hi people,

I'm planning to do some vocal tracks soon, but I was wondering; how did you guys (the ones who did vocal tracks) find your vocalist(s). Or do you all go searching on myspace and PM somebody..?

forums, myspace, and also from the labels

chinese black market. Owning someone is sometimes cheaper than paying them for an hour of work.

seriously tho, ask around. Friends should be your first choice... class-mates, work-mates... so on. Every-time someone is singing ... LISTEN!

soundclick.com and indabamusic.com are good sites to try. Use the forums on soundclick. Use the forums and the advanced artist search on indabamusic, have the filter set to vocals.

A buddy of mine found a male vocalist on garageband.com and completed 3 or 4 songs. I'm corresponding with a male vocalist I found on soundclick. Nothing finished yet, but hopefully soon. So far I've had 2 vocalists flake out on me, but I heard that's pretty common. You'll probably go through several before you find one that will stick around and finish a project.

Going to a music uni is good seen as the place is teeming with them.

craigslist.org and myspace, or hitting up random girls at the mall and asking them if they sing. And then saying you are this big shot producer and you need a vocalist, no talent needed, just a nice round ass.

Or just contact these random spammers who claim to be singers all over the forums.

That girl that you like alot sitting besides you in class.

Basically , friends would be the best option. Its always better to work with people you know than to work with someone your not familar with.

Okay, thanks for the tips. Than I'll guess I'd go a look on some websites, cause my friends really can't sing .
