I've got three pop songs that I need a talented young male demo singer to sing. I'd prefer somebody with no discernible accent and under 30 years old. If anybody has somebody they can recommend, I'd appreciate it. They'd either have to have their own demo studio, or access to one. Turnaround between my files being sent and needing to be received back to me will be in February.
Thanks to anybody who can help me and the singer!

Frank, are you video taping the demo? why should you put an age limitation on a demo singer? if you can tell someones age by their singing voice, you have some set of ears on you! I told you that getting involved in that pop writing stuff will destroy your ability to reason bro! haha

As long as there's not a video, and paraphrasing tonycamphd, you can't tell, then what's the dif? What you want is a tenor or counter-tenor so the range of the melody aligns with the range of a 13 year old girl. Mission accomplished. |

Here is an example, with me singing, of the range needed. The 3:10 mark is the highest note in my range. I'd like somebody who can hit those notes without going into a falsetto.

I told you that getting involved in that pop writing stuff will destroy your ability to reason bro! haha Okay Tony, do you know anybody with this range that can sing this song? It's not the style I'm writing now, but it gives you an indication of the vocal range. I'm singing on the track, but I'm old. LOL. So, somebody under fifty maybe?  The highest notes are at the 3:10 mark. I'd like somebody who can hit those notes without going into a falsetto. Thanks- Frank https%3A//soundcloud.com/songflowerrecording/the-night-forgets |

Thanks- Frank https%3A//soundcloud.com/songflowerrecording/the-night-forgetsUnfortunately, I don't know many singers who sing in that genre, but the 'melody' only goes to a "G" - That's lyric baritone to tenor range, and there should be a ton of vocalists that can handle that. The harmony (at 3:10+) hits a "B" - definitely tenor range if sung at full voice - but that singer doesn't have to be your lead vocalist (in fact, it might sound better if it's not). Anyway, a good tenor can sing those notes. No doubt they're a bit harder to find, but that note is about at the top end of the range of most of the famous pop vocalists I can think of - precisely because of the 13-year old girl rule. |

I don't have anyone to recommend for you, that being said, by the sound of your voice(as good as most out there), i would have pegged you for no more than 35! haha

I work with a few different session vocalist, but there is one in particular who might fit your description well. His name is Jesse Joice. You can check him out at this link: www.caderobertsmusic.com/#!session-vocals/p9ccd You'll have to visit the "Session Vocals" page. The demos on there are his original material, they don't show off his range quite as well as they should. He's a really great singer, if you're interested in trying him out, let me know and I'll shoot him your demo to see what he thinks about singing on it. |

Though I liked his voice, it's too regional for what I'm looking for in an accent. I'm sure he'll do great in Nashville. |

I completely agree with M57. And there's nothing wrong with your voice properly showcasing this song. You don't sound over 30. I know what you mean about a young sounding voice though. One where the bass disappears from the singing at anything above middle-C. I was a lyric tenor for a number of years, but more like a heldentenor or dramatic tenor these days (hey, I'm 50!) and the biggest change with age is tone not range. You could even hear it in Luciano Pavarotti's voice as he aged... and we'll never have another one like him. I mean, I can still hit a high-c even high-d most days, but it's carrying a lot of 'experience' with it, if you know what I mean. (and not a pitch for trying this for you!) Country singer Brian White used to have the type of voice you're looking for but he's gone into preaching the Word now. IMHE, the type of voice you're looking for is more like a Hunter Hays type. Would that be a fair guess? Johnkenn might know someone. |

Would that be a fair guess? Johnkenn might know someone. Well, it's too late now so I'm singing and cutting out the lower mids. But there's no way in hell I can sound like a young singer even though I'm hitting the same notes. I just recorded a 15 year old and like you said there is no low end in his voice. Unfortunately, I'd have to spend days auto correcting him in graphical mode, otherwise I'd use him. |

Yeah - I don't know anyone that could do the kinda Billy Joe Armstrong thing it sounds like you're looking for.

It's not like the lyrics, melodies and production are anything that the songwriters, musicians and engineers in Nashville couldn't pull off. |

I can see why you might want a different singer, but first, your voice is perfectly adequate. I've heard a few demos of number 1 songs that got cut from vocals that were nowhere near as good as this.
I think you should ask M57 to give it a try, he has great voice that lives in the higher tenor zones beautifully. It just might be a good fit.
Good luck, good song.

I can sing G's ..but not all day. Drop the key down to F and it's more in my wheelhouse - That said, it's guitar driven, so I don't know that it's a good idea. I'd be happy to give it a shot - sing a verse and a chorus - but I doubt I'm your man. |

...the tune isn't the one linked. He's doing a modern pop track I think. Dr. Luke type of stuff.

I'd tear my eyes out of my head before I'd work with dr Luke, better yet, I'd tear his ears off his head so he would be forced too make a parallel career shift to a hooker or butcher  |
