I need a female vocalist to do a vocal track for my song-The song is in the southern rock genre-Anyone interested?

Hi Tim,

I am not a singer but have used a couple that I would highly recommend to anyone.

I use Lauryn Snapp when I need something a little edgy. You can listen to her here:

She also has several youtube videos of cover songs that can be easily found with a search.

The other is Monica Ferrell who I use when I want a lighter touch, although she can belt it out and does wonderful harmonies. You can listen to her here:

I usually send them a guitar track or other backing track and then they go to a recording studio that I found in Nashville and he records them and then sends me the vocal. He can also do production if needed. His name is Mark Allen and his website is: http://www.theaudiobooth.com/

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more info. Good luck,

Ricki

If you can't find anyone here, this website has vocalists for hire: http://purevocals.org/Session_Singers.html I used them several times, and I was always satisfied. Make sure you understand the terms.

Best, John

Tim:

You might consider Heather Cowles. The genre you describe is "right up her alley." She alternates spending time between Nashville and the Caribbean. I believe she is still an active member here but if not, many of our current members have used her demo capabilities. I regret that I've lost her e-mail address when my laptop expired recently.

Best of luck with your project.

Dave

thank you dave-I'll see if I can locate her

You can listen to a few female vocalists at the Web Site
http://www.thegatorhole.com/ It is a demo service.

thank you ray!

thank you john! checked them out and found someone to do my vocals-any tips or pointers on the conditions?
thank you john
tim

Just this one: "The demo price listed above & a one time additional fee of $650 if the song grosses over $5000. An agreement will be provded and must be signed by both you and the vocalist"

If your song generates $5,000, the singer will be entitled to a one time payment of $650. This payment may vary from singer to singer, but the amount will be posted on the singer's Pure Vocal's page. If you're only using this as a demo, you won't have to consider this.

Best, John

thanks John-so if I put the song out online to sell and I sell $5,000 worth then I pay $650.00 to the vocalist?
tim

Riki-ank you! I liked on the edge-That was sung by Monica Ferrell?
Tim

Thanks, yes, that was Monica.

That's how I read it Tim. And it's a one-time payment.

John

Thank you John- that's how I read it- I'll clarify before taking the plunge-Even so I think it would be well worth it- I was thinking about using Nikki Rich-There's a lot of good vocalists at PV-Thanks for the tip John-
Tim

Very nice lyrics vocals and guitar was like played by angels or something

Tim, the music was played by an angel, named Andy Kemp!

In the old days, I liked guy singers: Elvis, Beatles, etc. Didn't care much for Connie Francis or Brenda Lee. It turned around in the 70s with ABBA. Now, I prefer the women. They are stronger and more dynamic than the men. I like Shania and Karen Fairchild & Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town. 30 women have recorded my songs going back to 1978. I'm working now with a gal named Annie Bushmeyer. She's the best one yet!

Listen to Annie
