Vocal Recording Can I Help"

The reason I recorded so many vocals is that the studio, Soundback had the biggest selection of backing tracks available over most of the U.K. many singers have come from far and wide to record at Soundback some from as far away as Monaco and Eastern Europe because they knew firstly we would have the backing track they required and that they could get the right sound and as importantly the right mix to give their recording the professional touch.
Why do I feel I can solve vocal recording problems because in the period of time that I was recording I must have recorded many 100s of singers male and female and came across and solved many of the problems the singers faced.
I'll give an example of a problem.A female singer came to record in the studio one day and as soon as she started to sing the sibilance(Distorted High Frequency) she created was unrecordable but under the sibilance I could hear a really strong and good sounding voice,so I checked and double checked all equipment and could find no reason for the problem until I asked her if she had this problem previously when recording she replied yes I was disapointed at the sound in the last studio I recorded in,so I started to ask her a few questions and on hearing her voice in normal conversation there was no sign of the sibilance so without being rude I asked if I could take a look in her mouth and there I saw the problem,a metal tooth brace no noticable in normal circumstances,obviously once she added power to her voice the reverberation inside her mouth was distorting the vocal.She removed the brace and guess what she had a great voice that became easy to record problem solved and we had a great day.
This is just one example there are many others that I can tell that give me the confidence that I may be able to help with vocal recording problems.
So if you feel the need and have had a problem with the recording of your vocal give me the chance to advise it's free and it may help.
