Pedagogical considerations: Facilitating agency in the vocal recording of early career singer-songwriters
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Audio recording is a much anticipated and integral component in the career trajectories of contemporary singers. This article discusses research undertaken through three in-depth case studies, each of which focused on the recording of original songs by early career singer-songwriters. The research examined the ways that recording techniques, associated technologies and studio interactions affect vocal performance during the recording processes. Participants were purposively sampled for their early career interest in songwriting and recording. The findings identified specific educational considerations relevant to those involved in vocal pedagogy, and in artist training and development. The outcomes detail pedagogical parameters and features designed to facilitate agency in the recording of contemporary vocalists.
