In this episode of Prepping For The Studio, Roy and Brian speak with singer and vocal coach, Shelbi Bennett.

I've known Shelbi for many years starting with the amazing vocal work she did for the San Diego band, The Midnight Pine. She has an incredible voice and has been a great resource as a coach for my studio clients to help them improve their vocal abilities. If you're a singer, you will certainly get a lot out of this episode.

Some topics we discuss include:

-The very real struggle of singing in a studio and being under a microscope while everyone watches

-Techniques used in vocal coaching sessions outside of the studio

-Advice on what to do in the weeks leading up to your vocal session

-Advice on what to do the night before and morning of your session

-What to have on hand at the session to help you get through it

-Advice on getting through singing struggles in the moment

-The art of doubling

-Advice for singing with emotion in the studio

-Working the mic and taking input from the engineer

-Improving your "esses"
