After learning all the techniques, scales, exercises, stage craft and everything else, the best thing you can do when it comes to recording is just relax and sing. Trust that you have done everything you can to prepare and become the character in the song. Let the recording engineer take care of the technical and electronic side of things and let the music happen.
Listen to this recording and notice how the singer is having fun with the band while telling the story. In the end music is about having pleasure. The more you can relax and just be the music, the better your performance will be.
This song comes from the author’s album Fortune. The singer is Doug Williams, who grew up in Chicago. For recordings by peter Gelling visit www.bentnotes.com
