Vocalist Software Saves Pitchy Singers from Embarrasment
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011Pitchy singing can be one of the most embarrassing things for a vocalist. Often a reasonably good vocalist with generally good pitch can experience a pitchy performance for a variety of reasons. For non amplified acoustic settings, a common problem for singers is the physical space and natural reverb, or lack there of. Singers become accustom to hearing their voice in certain settings, such as their home practice area. Some venues have significant echoes or liveness to the level that it distorts the voice. When hearing the voice in this setting, the singer many attempt to adjust their pitch to compensate for the awkward sound. This natural tendency can leave the singer shaky with their pitch.
With live sound amplification a singer has even more challenges. The amplification process adds distortion and artifacts to the level that many singers may not recognize their own voice. To assist and combat these problems, new vocalist software can help train singers to be prepared for a wide variety of performance venues. The first value of the vocalist software is that literally trains the singer to correct specific pitch problems. The next value is that new beta software, scheduled to release soon, presents a variety of performance environments for practice, which prepares the singer for the harsh real world environments.
