My budget is around ~$150 but negotiable as well as royalties. Artist will get a featured in the release on spotify, itunes, etc. I'm willing to trade producing/lyric writing services as well. A home made vocal booth will do fine if dry examples are provided. Ideally I'd like the singer to use a condenser mic. All I want are dry takes and I'll do everything from there. I own all the vocal production software necessary to make you sound your best. I'm a singer/songwriter myself so the melody was written accordingly and I carefully picked words.
The melody I want is played on the piano. Range is E4-D5. Each note is a word. I'm open to slight changes in lyric/melody too. I want an expressive singer that will use vibrato/other technique when appropriate. No whisper vocals but dynamics is encouraged. I'd also like some harmonies in 5ths and 3rds but also octaves if possible but I don't expect an E3. I'm looking vocalist with good annunciation so the lyrics shine.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The sap slowly seeps through her carved heart
It’s wasted on leaves she’s torn apart
These calligraphy keepsake scars
Splintered her soul and stole the shards
She keeps barking up the bark
She keeps barking up the bark
[Chorus]
She keeps barking up the bark
Screaming mistakes that she’s been hiding
There so vibrant. There so dark
She’s so honest about her lying
[Verse 2]
If her deceits buried seeds there’d be
Old trees growing chrome locks with no keys
If her own doubts laid paths she’d flee
And roam about so endlessly
She keeps barking up the bark
She keeps barking up the bark
[Chorus]
She keeps barking up the bark
Screaming mistakes that she’s been hiding
There so vibrant. There so dark
She’s so honest about her lying
The song is 150bpm and only a demo. The compositions mostly done (build up is placeholder) but it needs production. I can send a midi file of the melody and will make a simplified version of the song too. The average -dBFS should be around -18 and peak around -12
The link in the soundcloud is a song I produced a while ago but I've gotten better since but haven't worked with vocals for a while so I posted that. I can provide some other examples of instrumentals and lyrics too. Feel free to ask anything about the production.
