Happy Wednesday Reader, here's this week's Take Three email.

Stephen Wilson Jr. "son of dad" LP
I had nothing to do with the production of this album, but I'm floored by its songwriting and production. Highly recommend listening to this one.
I think we can all agree that the vocal is the most important part of any production.
And whether you’re producing yourself or another artist, the way you approach the session when tracking vocals plays a massive part in the sound of the project.
The overall goal in all of these tips is to make your singer feel comfortable, safe, and confident.
The singer should feel like the only thing they have to focus on is being present and singing the song.
If you take care of everything else, you eliminate the barriers to an emotionally rich vocal performance.
I have a lot more to say about producing/recording vocals, and I'm actually considering building a little course about it. If that's interesting to you at all, would you hit reply and let me know? I'll put you on a "waiting list" and make sure to let you know when it's done.
Until next week, happy music making, Reader.
