Other mistakes

Don’t let yourself get in your own way! Knowing some of these will help you avoid them in the first place.

·        Slow down if you can, and you’re likely to make fewer mistakes

·        Consider that you may be going fast because you are thinking of something else. So, leave your troubles at the studio door

·        Don’t allow distractions to compromise your concentration. If you can control it, control it. If you can’t (a crackling headphone lead, stale air in the studio) speak to someone whose job it is to sort it, and get it sorted.

·        If you keep tripping up over a certain phrase or can’t get the intonation right, it’s probably because it’s wrong, unnatural or ungrammatical. So, if you are allowed to, rewrite it

·        See a pattern of what you trip up over, maybe the sounds or groups, and practice those

The only thing you accomplish by rushing through a take, is getting through that take that much sooner. They ‘invented’ takes 2 and 3 for the pro’s, those who prepare and rehearse. If you don’t, then make good friends with takes 7 and 8 because you’re going to be seeing a lot of them.
