Head To A Recording Studio And Lay Down A Track
As everyone knows, life without music would ‘B’ flat. So release your inner diva and make your musical dreams come true in this sensational recording studio experience. Whatever your musical forte – whether you’re a singing superstar, pop star wannabe, rock band, soloist, or just a karaoke lover – this is a fantastic opportunity to get behind the scenes of the production industry and make sweet, sweet music.
You’ll rehearse a performance before recording it in a real studio with the help of an expert producer, then take your finished creation home to play to family and friends. Next stop, stardom!
The Recording Studio Experience is a fantastic opportunity for musical enthusiasts to rehearse and record their very own CD or MP3 with the help of production experts and full studio equipment. For budding singers, musicians, or youngsters that just want to have fun, there is also a dedicated junior experience specifically for groups of kids aged 4 – 14 (age may vary slightly depending on location).
Prior to the experience you will choose a number of songs that you wish to sing or play so they can be prepared for you at the studio. Then on the day you will take numerous practice sessions and rehearse your chosen tracks before making a recording with the help of an experienced producer or sound engineer. The piece will then be edited and mixed with the addition of any desired effects. Some experiences even include time to create your very own pop video to go alongside your awesome track.
Note that some songs may be protected by copyright, especially those that have been released less than six months ago, so some song choices may be unavailable.
Are you a musical maestro? Fancy yourself a singing sensation? The next big thing? Whether you’re into singing, playing or jamming, this studio experience has got your name on it. It’s a rare chance to face the music, star in a professional production and create your very own CD or MP3 file that’s been edited, mixed and produced by the experts in the business. Who knows, this could be the sample that sends you into the big time! So tune in, rock out and give yourself the superstar treatment in this sensational experience that’s easy on the ear and bags of fun.
