In today's video, Austin goes over how to approach writing vocals on an instrumental track. This video goes over how to find a selection of melodies, structure those melodies into a flowing vocal melody, find the theme and concept of the lyrics, and write the lyrics of a verse, pre-chorus, and chorus.

I love how every artist has a different take on a song. I hummed melodies to this, then listened to yours, I always enjoy hearing different interpretations!

What about a tutorial the other way around. What if you've lyrics and melody but don't know how to transfer that into a complete song in your DAW?

The fact that he made a video of him really starting out with his vocals, explaining keys, arrangements makes this video even more intriguing 😳🤔👀...definitely would pay for mentoring make sure to subscribe to boost his channel

Very helpful! I realised that it works very badly to make vocals from a melody recorded with piano... somehow it doesn't work for me. Is it probably better to sing in, hum in or whistle in?
Question: why you don't use track versions for the different ideas?

You saved so much time for me with these tips. I could struggle for weeks just to finish vocal production, nowdays i can finish it in couple of days.
