The Impact of Dancers Who Lip Sync Background Vocals
MBADC: It
seems that tour coordinators are nowadays hiring background vocalists for
the studio and hiring dancers for the show who lip sync the background
vocalists. Do you agree this is happening more? What kind of impact does it
have?
KK: That is
probably true, especially in the Hip-Hop world. It means less work for the
background singer. This is why nowadays, session singers and tour singers
are one in the same. They used to be separate.
GG: There are
fewer background vocalists in the studio these days because technology made
it possible for one person to sing all of the parts. In this instance there
is no problem with blending and having to retrack vocals because the singer
is blending with himself. And, of course it's more cost effective to pay one
singer than four to six singers. The problem with this is that it's hurting
the session market for singers.
