Vocal Layering: Leads and Background (Skillshare)

Offered by Skillshare,
Vocal Layering: Leads and Background (Skillshare)

In this class we will be looking at a few vocal layering methods that will help thicken out our lead vocals as well as create full background vocals. The lead layering found in the first few videos is a great practice to filling out a chorus and can also be used to get a wide modern vocal sound at any point in the song. In the last video we look at separate background vocals and how variation in timbre can lead to a wide professional sound.

Try adding a vocal layer or background vocal to a production you have in the works. If you don't have access to a project with full vocal parts, try using a vocal sample in your sound library (most DAW's have stock vocals) and create a modified version of it that could sit beneath the original.
