Preparing for Your Session

What to Bring to Your Vocal Recording Session

✓

Your Lyrics

Bring your lyrics on paper or on your phone — something easy to reference in the booth without fumbling through notes during takes.

✓

Your Instrumental or Beat

If you are recording over your own music, bring the file via USB or share it via email before the session. WAV is preferred; MP3 also works. Stems are welcome if available.

✓

A Reference Track

If you have a song you want to reference for tone, feel or style, bring it along. This helps the engineer understand the direction you are going for.

✓

Water & Vocal Warmth

Bring a bottle of water and warm up your voice before the session. Avoid dairy, very cold drinks and heavy meals before recording — these can affect your vocal quality and flexibility.
