Recording Song Demos with Male Vocalists, or Female Vocalists?
In general, if you are going to be pitching the song to both male and female artists, you will want to go with a male vocalist on your demos. The reason for this is that most male artists have a hard time hearing themselves singing a song when it is is first heard being performed by a woman. That being said, the opposite is generally not so much of a problem. Female artists seem to be quite able to hear themselves singing the song with either a male, or female vocalist on the demo. Sometimes, it’s even preferable for a female artist to hear the song’s demo sang by a male, for the simple reason that they would like to “do it in there own way” and not be stuck into micking the vocalist on the demo.
