alright so how would i go about this?
i understand how to tell the vocalist to sing in the right tone/chord
but how do i go about getting them to sing in the right bpm?
i am actually no this whole thing, i just recently wrote a vocal track, and i really like it, id sing it myself but i think its suited for a female.
also how do you go about paying them? i know most of them have their own pay rates and such, but what if the track gets successful do they get a cut? |

If the singer is used to sing after a click, thatīs a possibility. But of course the
best thing is to have the arrangement finished, so the singer can sing while monitoring the
track on a set of headphones. As for payment.. Whatever you/she agrees on ;) Many people
prefer to get paid after the job is done - flat. Unless itīs gonna be a chart stormer ;) |

Usually they sing to the track playing. |

All Singer ask for a payment ?
Is it possible to share with them only the ear of the tune (if it will be sign) ? |

thats what i was thinking at first ^
but shes more establishes right now as an artist at the moment then i am
i was thinking of sending her the lyrics and beat over the internet and letting her record it, then send it all back to me so i can mess around with it.
i feel more comfortable with doing that. |

| At minimum you should create a framework track with complete arrangement and major parts already done. It's going to be very difficult for any singer to write lyrics and melody with just a beat. |

yeah i have the complete track pretty much done, i just feel it would add more full as a vocal track, maybe make a radio edit later possibly..
its a eight notey track ,but a bit different.
she requested to have the beat and lyrics sent to her
so maybe she will figure it all out with out much guidance from me. |

I misread it and thought you had wrote something really really stupid, then realized I was actually the idiot. :D
Thought you wrote that you were doing the beat, and she was recording the vocals and finishing the track. Just misunderstood.
But what I originally was going to say was I get my vocalists off CL and have never paid a dime or been asked for a dime (nor would I offer a dime lol).
I actually just posted 2 days ago and got some girl from NY coming down hopefully next weekend.
Most of them are new singers, but some of them really do have beautiful voices. Def give craigslist a shot! You may get lucky. |
