We can record up to a maximum of 2 people at present (June-July 2020)
We cannot allow any onlookers/spectators on to the premises at present (June-July 2020)
We can stream your experience live so you just need to pass on a web address (given on arrival) to anyone who’d like to watch in via Vimeo.

Dress smart and look good – We may be taking a photograph and/or video of you
Plan your route and arrive on time. We’re happy to welcome you 15 minutes before your session starts
Find our location easily by Searching for Audio Sorcery Recording Studios on your smartphone SatNav
Don’t forget your reading glasses
Bring food if your session is longer than 5 hours

Choose your songs in advance from our Backing Track library
Listen to our Vocal Tips and Exercises by professional vocalist Jake Boyle
Practice makes perfect – find karaoke versions of songs on Spotify or YouTube for rehearsing
Make notes about your songs. Where to come in and where not to sing. Breathing points through complicated passages
Bring the lyrics on a iPad/tablet device or printed on paper
Stay clear of caffeinated tea/coffee and milk. Bring a suitable drink to get the best from your vocal cords. Perhaps make your own honey and lemon drink, or bring warm water, decaffeinated tea or herbal/green tea (peppermint/chamomile)
Don’t eat just before your singing session

Bring your tuner to the studio for any stringed instruments
A fresh set of guitar strings sound so much better when recorded
Bring lyric sheets with added key/chord notes throughout. Helpful for us if we’re to add any additional parts – bring copies
Bring any leads you’d normally connect your equipment with
Bass amplifiers aren’t generally necessary as we DI (direct injection) the bass guitar straight into our mixing console
Fresh drums sticks and heads. We’ll help with tom tuning if required
