I have recorded dozens of commercial professional CDs with Polyphony, Gabrieli Consort, Academy of Ancient Music, Sonoro, BBC Singers, and Dunedin Consort, amongst others, giving me significant shop-floor experience of what is required during recording sessions. 

Recording session time is very expensive for groups – imagine if you could hit the ground running at the start of the session, maximising this precious time. 

I can guide your choir through the entire recording process: 

• Offering an initial consultation to discuss your objectives (from repertoire choice to preferred type of recording venue and acoustic to project timeframe). 

• Attending a rehearsal to hear your choir and advise on 

• recording venues – I have many years of experience singing at a wide variety of venues, from churches to studios. Having heard your choir, I can advise on appropriate venues to suit your sound and budget.

• Selection of respected producers/sound engineers to suit your budget and your choir.

• Attending an additional rehearsal before the recording sessions to provide a critical ear and advise your choir on how to use your recording time for maximum efficiency. Having sung in countless recording sessions, I have a huge amount of experience and know what works and how to help your choir sound at its best.

• Providing extra professional singers if there are gaps in your choir (due to illness, for example), ensuring that your project can go ahead as planned.

• Advising on any accompanist/instrumental fixing requirements.

• Managing all venue bookings and logistics, making the process as smooth as possible.

I am very happy to arrange a free consultation meeting to discuss your requirements and help your choir fulfil their potential.
