		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m kidding, of course. I think. Can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been almost two months since I&#8217;ve had the time or the inclination to post anything to this blog. I&#8217;ve been so focused on recording, mixing, mastering, doing the graphics, getting the liner notes, manufacturing, making mistakes, fixing those mistakes, spending way more money than I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, OK&#8230;finally we get to the fun part! If you&#8217;ve read Part I and Part II of Mixing Your Vocals, you&#8217;ll know that laying the musical foundation – a great mix on the instrumental tracks &#8211; will give you a &#8216;frame&#8217; for your vocal track. The instrumentals need to enhance, showcase, support your vocal instrument, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, OK, it&#8217;s not THAT bad! Mixing is actually quite fun. No, honest&#8230;really. It IS! As I mention in Part I, you need to start with vocal tracks that are pristine, &#8216;dry&#8217; (no effects), and of the very best performance quality. Think of the mixing procedure as the Recipe, and you are the Chef. You [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was a really fun day in the studio! I had decided that on one song in particular, an accordion would add a beautiful ambiance, a little bit of sparkle, to an already great arrangement that Gerry Grosz wrote for me. The song has a tango or rhumba feel to it, and I sing the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I really want to write about in this blog is studio techniques for singers. It&#8217;s just one aspect of the craft of being a good singer &#8211; that is, singing in tune while conveying the emotion or story of the lyrics. When you&#8217;re singing live, on stage, the moment is fleeting [...]]]></description>

Since I am in the middle of recording my third jazz CD, I thought I&#8217;d keep a log of issues as they come up, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I learned a really important lesson today about rejection. Even though I&#8217;ve been singing professionally for over 30 years (yes, I was a child when I started!), it always feels kind of crappy to be rejected, even when you&#8217;re rejected in a nice, professional way by a nice, professional person. I submitted one of the [...]]]></description>

This last track is referred to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even before I knew I wanted to be a singer (I was 4 years old when I first saw Barbra Streisand on tv and thought: &#8220;I want to do that!&#8221;), I sang. All children sing. We sing ourselves to sleep so we won&#8217;t feel alone in our bed, afraid in the dark. We sing silly [...]]]></description>
