STUDIO MINDSET.

Studio mindset: How to move out of analytical left brain

When you are singing in the studio, you desperately need to move out of logical, critical, analytical left-brain mode. Why?

Messages go deeper when understood emotionally instead of just analytically.
Left brain singing is not as compelling as right brain singing. Think about it which moves you more to hear a formulaic, even, predictable, logical voice with perfectly even rhythmic pattern or an unpredictable, slightly de-constructed voice with conversational rhythmic pattern?

You will tend to demand over-tuning and editing of your vocals, not realizing that less is very often more when it comes to mechanically perfecting vocals.
So how do you do it?

By trusting your vocal technique, setting yourself up properly so you can feel more than think as you sing.
By being able to trust the feedback you're getting from your production team. This lets you enter your creative child mode and get the critic out of the vocal booth.
Have you ever gotten stuck in your left brain in the vocal booth? What did you end up doing about it?
