Professional Recording Studio Experience
We all do it - belt out hits in the shower, sing along to the radio with a hairbrush for a mic. With this experience you’ll get to take your talent out of the shower and into the studio. (Actually it’s not just for singers - this experience is also perfect for musicians who’d like to record a piece.) Come along to the session having rehearsed your song or piece, and have the studio to yourself so that you can make a great recording. A experienced session engineer/producer will guide you through the process and give you expert advice on giving the best performance (and be a lot more friendly than Simon Cowell). You’ll also get a feel for the mixing process and what happens behind the scenes in the music industry - and maybe get to hear some stories about stars that your engineer has worked with! You can also bring along guests to act as groupies. Take home your best performance from the session either on a minidisc, a CD or chrome cassettes. Who knows - maybe you’ve got the x factor?
