kevin Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hey this is just a quick question.. I know it's not good to sing along with cd's and everything, but what about trying to harmonize vocally along with a cd? I'm singing some backup parts for my band that would require a harmony type part, and I was wondering if this would help to train my ear and my voice to be able to sing in harmony better.

lame ass security Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Absolutely, it's great practice. Make sure the volume isn't too loud on the CD so you can hear yourself clearly. If possible, record yourself singing harmony with a song to see how you sound to others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you don't really develope your ear to hear notes around the music, but rather with what the other guys singing.. I've heard from so many places and people to not sing along with a CD exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
