Introductory Recording Studio Experience
Ref: XSINH
Duration: 1½ hrs
- Cut your own disc at a professional recording studio
- Make three recordings and choose the best one to take home on CD
- Expert advice from the session engineer and studio staff
- Your friends are welcomed to join you to take photos and be your groupies! (Gulf Bank will only sponsor the winner)
- Perfect for singers, musicians, solos and duets
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 after a run-through you'll make three recordings. A session engineer and studio staff will guide you through the process, giving you expert advice and tips on how to get the best from your voice (and they'll be a lot more friendly than Simon Cowell). You'll also get a feel for what happens behind the scenes in the music industry - and maybe get to hear some stories about the stars. You can also bring along guests (Gulf Bank will only sponsor the winner) to act as groupies! Then choose your best performance from the session and take it home either on a minidisc, a CD or two chrome cassettes with personalized labels.
