Not all of us have perfect pitch or are great harmony singers. What I do is sing my vocal line and then play a midi keyboard that match the notes. Then I find the harmony for that line with another keyboard line and I record that line. This is usually a third above the original line. Then I sing to match that keyboard line. Then I do it again. This could be another third above or third below the first line. Or I just copy the vocal several times and use alter boy on each track, a third higher, a fifth higher. Move the tracks slightly in time. Alter boy tracks may sound strange but play them with less volume and it will sound okay in the mix.

I took this course and made one of my favorite productions to date (song's called In Harmony on my channel). It was a nice experience getting feedback from the rest of the class, and Charlie has many great little tips and it was fascinating to watch his process.

Wow, this is inspirational, never thought of putting this many vocals into a single song, but it sounds so full and amazing. Nice!!
