RECORD YOUR VOCALS

Sing it! Record it! Share it!

Recording audio & video with your mobile phone is child’s play these days. Sing, record and you’re done. But what if you are really looking for decent demos or even audio and video material that you want to share on your social media? Then you need at least more know-how than the usual record & edit buttons. Do you also want to be able to record and edit your voice qualitatively at home on your computer or laptop, but you don’t know where to start? Then ‘RECORD YOUR VOCALS’ is just right for you! ‘Record your vocals’ is a 2-day course for singers & vocal performers who want to learn how to record, edit and mix their vocals in the music at home, and last but not least: synchronize on screen for any YouTube videos. In the mornings you will receive a spectrum of theoretical information and tips & tricks that you need to understand in order to learn to record your voice as well as possible. In the afternoons we put everything into practice and we practice, record, edit and mix! The course is taught by none other than sound engineer & vocal producer, Kris Van Roy. He will teach you the necessary expertise to make your voice sound the way it should!
