Seven mostly inexperienced singers. Two private voice lessons each. One Christmas album to record.
When I was brought in to coach the members of OfflineTV for their holiday album, the goal wasn’t to completely retrain anyone’s voice in two lessons.
It was to figure out what would help each person right now.
What was getting in the way in this song? What adjustment could make this phrase easier? And what could I give them that they could actually use later, standing in front of a microphone without me beside them?
The project ended up being such a good reminder of something I see with singers all the time: technique isn’t about having twenty more things to think about. It’s about understanding your voice well enough that when something isn’t working, you have somewhere to go.
I wrote about the whole experience, including what happened when we got into the recording studio, some of the confidence challenges that came up, and what two voice lessons can actually accomplish.
