Vocal
Casting: What it is and How it Gets You Hired
MBADC: Please
define "vocal casting": How often do you think a background singer is hired
again and again for his or her signature sound?
KK: Hiring
singers for their signature sound happens all the time,
especially in the TV commercial world. If that sound sells product, then
that is it. Generally, it doesn’t matter how wonderful your voice is. They
are always looking for that special something in the voice that will market
their product.
DW: Careers are
built on vocal casting! Think of the narrations on
movie trailers – PBS programs – I bet you can hear them now, yes? Vocal
casting is as important in background singing as it is in lead singing. It’s
all about creating a texture, and a mood.
