Kayla and Evan are members of the Boston-based group Birdland Avenue. Their group enjoys putting a jazzy spin on old and new classics.  They are also hosts of the a cappella podcast Head/Voice. They both have lots of experience performing in larger college groups but the small group dynamic of Birdland Avenue is new to them.

So, how do they approach recording a small group and creating “their” sound on their first EP/album?  That’s what we’re discussing on today’s LIVE COACHING call.  I’m able to help Kayla and Evan get clarity around two key concepts that will increase their awesomeness in the studio and we then get to work brainstorming on ways to accentuate and GROW each of those!

In this episode, we rattle through a ton of great ways to create different sounds and bring out the gems in their arrangements.  We cover time-tested methods for getting the sounds they want during tracking instead of having to wait for the mixing engineer to create the sounds for them.  We also discuss why and when it’s good and bad to invest in more gear and how to do it on a budget!  We even go into strategies for writing original songs, how to get a more “live” sound from their recordings and  deal with the weirdness of trying to perform in the studio!  

Kayla and Evan are awesome and I know you’re going to LOVE this episode, so enjoy!
