    HSS Episode 054-8 Vocal Tips for Better Performances

    ANNOUNCEMENTS
    The August Edition of the HSS Song Contest is over with Mark George coming out on top as the winner. Although it was incredibly hard to choose a winner, Markโ€™s song,ย  โ€œThe Other Side of Soundโ€ was picked due to its arrangement, itโ€™s clarity and balance, as well as the interest it generated even as an instrumental piece. You can hear the song and listen to my comments on it here: (https://youtu.be/AN9DeEWihcw?t=3988) ย 
    The September Edition of the HSS Song Contest is on!ย  ย 
    Here are the guidelines for the contest.
    Original non-copyrighted workย  No lewd lyrics or vulgarityย  One submission per entrantย  File submission in WAV or MP3ย  Deadline September 25thย  Upload your songs here: http://bit.ly/September-Submission
    ย 
    Why would you want to upload your song?ย  ย 
    ย ย ย ย ย The main purpose I started the song contest was to inspire musicians to release more music and to generate interest in others music, while providing insight and constructive dialogue from a professional standpoint on how to improve the song submitted.
    ย ย ย ย ย Now, a few months into the HSS Song Contest routine, this segment of the channel has taken on a life of its own! The community it has created and the feedback that has been generated from within the community is amazing! There have been collaborations, friendships, and professional connections made as a result of the contest and so many have claimed that they are learning more and more every single time around.
    ย ย ย ย ย ย The song that is chosen as the winner receives a free mix/master of the winning entry from yours truly and the results are shared on the channel to help everyone benefit from knowing what went into it.ย ย ย ย 
    Wanna join the HSS Session Players? (https://bit.ly/Session_Player_Sign-up) From time to time I am asked to help out on a project or need some instrumentation for personal client work. While I can play a Bass, I am not a Bassist. That said, I am creating a list of Session Players that I can call on to work on projects. If youโ€™d like the opportunity to work on some projects and collaborate with other like minded musicians. Sign up!

Home Studio Show You Say! Iโ€™m In ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This show is a show thatโ€™s simple, fun and easy to understand. I like the honesty that the host has about studio gear and personal taste in musicians lifestyle. Itโ€™s amazing ๐Ÿ˜‰ the quality of sound and production values thatโ€™s in use on this podcast. I see this quickly becoming the big show on podcasts for guys like myself that are into doing there own production in music and podcasting as well and totally can see myself using some of these tips in my own podcast in the future. The host is a very kind and thoughtful person who has many years under his belt in doing this kind of great work. We can all learn something here even if your not already in music production or just starting to get into it. Letโ€™s see more of these great show to come in the future and my hats ๐ŸŽฉ off to you Home Studio Simplified!

Simply the best

Robert has a very good way of getting the message across. His way of teaching is really solid and when he explains things just makes sense. I really enjoy listening to his podcasts. I always learn something new. When I have a doubt about a process in my home studio I tune into his podcast, and somehow he knows that's what I needed to hear in order to understand what I was having trouble with. Great, great, great podcast! I give it 5 thumbs up ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ! Definitely recommend!
