I am not advertising , I am just sharing how can singers give their vocals the perfect professional feel
1) If you already have not switched to a good microphone then do it now because when we talk about recording it all lands on the fact of what quality mic you are using
There are two types dynamic and condenser mic and the rest of them should never be used for recording.
Well for recording without a doubt opt for a condenser mic(They are a little costly so if you are low on budget go for a dynamic one http://audio.tutsplus.com/tutorials/recording/10-best-affordable-microphones-for-the-home-studio/)
2)Now that you have a condenser/dynamic mic and still you feel that you are lacking the professional punch in your songs?Well you should try some of these tools
a)http://www.antarestech.com/products/ *you can use autotune not just for getting the right pitch(Which I think you don't require if you have a good singing ability) but also for getting professional quality
b)Use either Cubase,Logic,Fl Studio,Abeleton Live or Pro tools etc. for recording. They all are pretty great and amazing.
c)Use reverbs and echos but not too much otherwise it will ruin
d) While I was learning Fl Studio I found something exceptionally amazing : VOCAL BLUR
well that means for the first intro of the song you can use this to blur start your song which is 1000 times better than using fade in since that seems very professional
e)Use Vocodex or any vocoder for getting robotic feel or alien like effect or simple distortion or even mechanical sounds. It is awesome if used in rap songs.
3)To add Texture(Remember it is a very big thing) to your sounds you should do a two take almost-identical recording and use the twin effect(that is using both the recorded takes) and also do different takes and record other parts which adds variance and more texture like backing vocals
etc.This will make the song go thumping all the way
4)Instrumental must be rightly mixed and temp should be proper and the vocals must be perfectly in sync with the instrumental(MUST be!!!!!)
5)Do not over do textures otherwise it will ruin everything and do not ever let these textures overtake your original song.
Hope this helped you!Most of this you already knew I guess but still
For any further questions just feel free to ask
And if you want me to make threads on other music related topics just prompt me on my profile page I will be happy to answer all of them.They can be any question related to making music,singing etc.
