Getting It Right: Studio Vocal Work.

July 25, 2008 – 11:55 am

It takes many hours in the studio to get vocals just perfect for the recording of a particular song. Here, we show you some video clips of us working on “Thanks To Calvary And Amazing Grace.” You won’t hear the whole song, just some parts we are working on. This is where we perfect and learn the song’s vocal arrangements. It is a tedious process but it makes for a great recording and prepares us to “get it right” for actual performances. Singing the song correctly has to become “second nature” for us so when we are singing for you in concert, we can focus on the Spirit rather than the details of singing.

Great video–I enjoy watching this kind of stuff even more than the completed demos.

Thanks for the glimpse of just how hard and tedious it is to record and get new songs down. This has been an exciting process of being part of this new recording by blogging and utube! Thank you for the opportunity! Can’t wait for the new CD to come out!! It will be great!

Lauren,
Is it ever “strange” working with your parents? I love mine dearly, but I don’t think I could work with them and be with them all the time. Do you live at home with them?

Whatever you all do, the Lord is blessing your music and your ministry.

Remembering that God is STILL God,

  Yes I do still live at home (I can’t resist a good deal). We’re a pretty normal family and we do need time away from each other occasionally! Actually on our days at home we are usually going in three different directions and are involved in our own endeavors so we aren’t together ALL the time- although it seems that way sometimes!
  
  We’ve always had a very close relationship, we dearly love each other and we’ve always been very thankful for this; we probably couldn’t do this if we didn’t. I think it’s very important to have a personal life and family time away from the music. Sometimes it’s hard to find a balance but it’s very important.

It is a LOT of hard work - but it DOES pay off in the end because soooooo many people are touched by the songs. One day you’ll be in heaven and someone will come up to any one of y’all and say “I never met you but one of your songs is part of the reason I’m here today” Now, when you think of it that way, all the hard work (and boring work - lol) seems like nothing at all, doesn’t it?

You guys are GREAT! Keep up the good work.

Lauren, I have a question. How come there are 2 stacked vocals of you??
Reply to RJ Henderson
1. Lauren Talley posted the following on July 25, 2008 at 11:24 pm.
  Hey RJ! Good question. The answer is….
  
  There won’t be 2 vocal passes on the finished product. I record two tracks of the entire verse and then in the mix, my dad (the producer) can pick and choose which lines or words he likes the best to come up with the best possible performance.
  
  This is very common practice. In effect, what you hear on a CD many times is not one continuous performance by a singer, but a composite of many takes. Thanks for asking!

2. Lauren Talley posted the following on July 25, 2008 at 11:45 pm.
  One more thing- (I misunderstood your original question)
  
  For a song like “Calvary and Amazing Grace” we choose to stack the vocals once for a bigger, fuller sound. We chose not to stack every song, just the ones we felt needed it most. Solos are not stacked and many times the lead will not be stacked at all so that it won’t sound artificial. The stacks are mixed lower than the original vocals so it still will sound like three people and not six.

Hey guys! Sounding great! Hey that looks like the same place I recorded at!! Although you three are doing a great job, I also wanted to let Greg know that his work is appreciated as well! Many do not know how much work goes on “behind the scenes” and I know that Greg does a great job! Thanks for making the best group in Southern Gospel Music sound so good! (I think Singing News needs an award for that too!!)

Take care,

Do your vocal chords ever get tired, or do you ever get sore throat ? Do you take any precautions about saving your voices ? I’m serious. After thousands of concerts, and many many recordings, music must definitely be your life ! This is so interesting ! Thank You.

  Hi Jeff,
  
  Of course we occasionally get sick like everyone else, but I very seldom experience vocal fatigue. Performing and recording as often as we do certainly helps our vocal stamina, but I’d attribute it to concentrating on proper vocal technique more than anything else. Learning to breathe correctly, place the voice properly and use volume correctly are some of the biggest essentials to taking care of your voice.
  
  Of course resting and drinking water are important too, and we don’t do nearly enough of either one

Thanks for the behind the scenes look at the effort it takes to put together the ‘messages’ you sing. Attending your concerts has always been such an uplifting experience, but knowing how much effort goes into doing it right shows just how dedicated you are to your special ministry.

This is going to be another must have CD.

Thank you so much for sharing videos of this new cd. I can’t wait to pick up a copy of it. Question: Will you be singing any of the new songs in your upcoming concerts, especially the one in Indiana next week (Aug. 9 and 10)? If so, can I request “Hallelujah, Praise the Lamb” and “I Will Sing of My Redeemer?”

Thanks

Congrats to RJ!Great title…Life always goes on even when you don’t think it will.God always says you can.I wrote this thought in my Bible awhile back…
“God made promises HE keeps…
HE gives me answers when I ask…
And HE believes that I can do it…
Even when I think I can’t…”
Just a thought that came to me after I read 2 Peter 1:3-12
AMEN LIFE GOES ON!

Great fit for a title RJ! Hey Debra! It was nice to talk to you and Lauren last Saturday. I really enjoyed the concert. I would have to say I think that was probably the first concert I’ve been to where there were cows outside of the seating area though. Hey if you know anyone that might be interested in a box I’ll probably have another one up for grabs in about a week provided nothing unforseen happens, like a major mess up or something, so I’ll be open to offers if it would appeal to anyone. Tell Lauren, Roger and Greg I said hi. Take care!

Surprise Song Just For You (song # 9)

July 21, 2008 – 10:26 am

So many of you have asked us over the years if we would ever re-record this song, we decided to do that for this new album. At concerts and churches, wherever we sing, this is always our most requested song. So here it is re-created just for all of you. Read More »

I have heard of the Talley’s for years for the church in Zanesville, Ohio, Trinity Full Gospel, has had numerous groups here.
I saw you perform “broken people” on t.v. and was blown away by Lauren’s voice and that you are all family.

Hey, here’s one we really want you to jump into. We have some of the photos from our photo shoot and we are starting to work on the CD cover. You can see that we have Group Photos, Lauren Photos, Debra Photos, and Roger Photos. We think we want to use the individual shots for the cover and maybe a group shot somewhere else in the insert. You can comment on that idea. What we want you to do is pick your favorite photo from each set.

I think that individual shots for the cover is an excellent idea and group shots for the insert is also an excellent idea. I could not just chose one of any of them, for the individual shots of Lauren I picked Lauren-Tan-1 and Lauren-Orange-1, for the individual shots of Debra I picked Debra-Orange-4 and Debra-Green-3, for the individual shots of Roger I chose Roger-Purple-1 and Roger-Orange-2 and for the group shots I chose G-1, G-8, and G-11. I think that those are the best photos, although they were all good it was very hard for me to chose. Thanks for letting me be a part of the process.

Hi Talley’s,

Nice photos, but watch the angle of the camera - it’s better if the camera is at least as high as the eyes of the person(s) being photographed - keeps “not so nice” areas of the body from being highlighted.

I’m fascinated by the process that you are going through to get the new album out. It really takes a lot of time and effort by a lot of people.

Peace,

Hey Guys,

All of the pics are very good.

I liked the ones with the green background the best. I thought the yellow background was a little to bright - I tended to notice the background in those more than I noticed you all. The green background made you stand out oh so nice
Here are my choices:

Group - G6
Lauren - Green 1

Group shot G5
Lauren - orange 1
Debra - orange 4, green 1
Roger - G2

Group photos G1 and G11 are good too, but Lauren’s feet look odd placed that far apart, maybe can be cropped.

Nice Photo shoot!! Kinda hard to choose though! I think they are all good ones, but the ones I could see on a CD are, G5, Lauren-Green-1, Debra-Orange-4 and Roger-Orange-1.

I chose all photos with smiles because singing for the Lord has always put a smile on my face and I cant think of anything better to smile about!

See ya soon!

Group Shots:
G5 (great album cover shot)
or G7 (great back cover, tray card, or back of booklet)
However, I must say that I love Roger’s “Captain America” pose on G10.
Individual Pics:
Lauren - Orange 1 (I like the smiley green one, but the orange one is the “money shot”.)
Debra - Green 1
Roger - Purple 1

Great pics, y’all! But I wouldn’t expect any less from Kim L.! See you soon!

Great photos, you guys! I loved them all! It was hard to narrow down. But here is my list, complete with my reasoning behind my choices.

Group Shots: G5 or G8
G5 - I love that y’all are laughing and look like you’re having a blast.
G8 - The angle is great and y’all have great smiles in this one.

Lauren Shots: Tan 1 or Green 2
Lauren-Tan-1 - The tan background looks fantastic with your hair color and skin tone.
Lauren-Green-2 - Great eyes/smile in this one.

Debra Shots: Orange 3 or 4
Debra-Orange-3 - I love the orange background for her. It really compliments her red hair. This one makes her look classy and elegant.
Debra-Orange-4 - This one looks like she’s a little more free and having fun.

Roger Shots: Purple 1 or Orange 2
Roger-Purple-1 - This one seems a little edgy. I like it. It stands out.
Roger-Orange-2 - He has a great smile in this one.

Thanks for including us in this. May God continue to bless you all!

Hey guys,

You did a great job in Roanoke on Saturday night. As always, it was a joy getting to talk with you. If you want to see a couple pics from the night, I posted them on my facebook page. You are more than welcome to link them over to your facebook if there is a way to do that.

Here are my pics for potential photos.

G8 - only I think it would look better if it was a straight shot and not tilted. I like the colors and facial expressions in this one
Lauren Green 1
Debra Green 1
Roger Purple 1
