TESTIMONIALS

I was very nervous. I had never recorded a song before but Brigitte made me feel comfortable right from the start and amazingly enough, it was very easy. My friends all thought my singing was great.
Kate, 16yrs, Orewa


I got a voucher for recording 3 people for my birthday. My 2 best friends and I had soooo much fun. We had someone filming us too and we sang and danced and laughed A LOT. Thank you sooo much for a great time.
Julia, 23yrs, Auckland

There was not a dry eye among my family members when I was marching to the sound of "My life will go on" and they realised I was the singer. I did take the liberty of changing a few words, I'm sure Celine Dion won't mind.
Sabrina, 34yrs, Auckland

My wife got me a recording voucher for Christmas. I think she was trying to make me realise that I was not quite ready for NZ idol. But as it turns out with a bit of help and tweeking, she was very impressed by my rendition of "I'm a believer"

Points to remember



Make sure you know your chosen song well before the day.

SING SING and sing some more…



You may want to rehearse with a friend. You can split the parts of the song up (i.e. alternate verse/chorus betwwen you) or you can harmonize with each other, even better…



Don’t worry, you don't have to get it right the first time. We will record your rehearsal tracks and you can listen to them before the real take.



Having said all that, you don't have to be Maria Carey to have fun recording. Not singing very well sometimes brings even more fun!



As musicians, we understand how intimidating recording can be but we can assure you that we will put you at ease in a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.



If you would like a visual souvenir of your experience, filming and / or video editing are available on request.
