FAQs
Why Choose Vocal Sessions for my Video Singing Reel?
Having originated the Video Vocal Reel concept in 2018, Vocal Sessions has become the most recognised, recommended and trusted Vocal Reel Company in the industry focusing on real-sounding Live Vocal Reels with no Auto-tuning or vocal manipulation. Just clear, crisp audio and video that sounds and looks exactly like you. ​
We have the experience, the knowledge, the equipment and the reputation.
What songs should I sing for my Vocal Reel?
Choose songs that suit you and your casting. The goal is to show your strengths. Vocal ability, storytelling and range - not to tick boxes.
If you’re unsure, I’m always happy to advise.
I can’t get my songs down to 50 seconds for my Vocal Reel - can you help me?
Yes - and this is very common.
Short, punchy cuts work best for reels, but if you’re struggling, I can help trim them down with a fresh, outside perspective.
Can I use Youtube backing tracks for my Vocal Reel?
YouTube compresses audio, which reduces sound quality.
Where possible, I recommend purchasing a track - but if YouTube is your only option, send me the link and I’ll source the highest quality version available.
Should I use piano tracks or full orchestral tracks for my Vocal Reel?
Both sound great but it really depends on the song. If it’s a soft ballad then maybe a piano track works really nice but if it’s something that usually has full instrumental then I’d go with that to keep the energy.
Can I use a voice note recording for my Vocal Reel?
No. The quality isn’t good enough. Try and find your tracks to purchase from websites such as karaoke-version.com or iTunes.
​I can’t find a backing track for the song I want to sing for my Vocal Reel.
I would suggest having a track made. There are a few places you can have it done. Online MD is one of them and an Instagram account called ‘Acoustic Backs and Tracks’.
Is there parking at the Vocal Sessions studio?
Yes, there’s plenty of free parking outside.
What is the cancellation policy for Vocal Sessions?
I totally understand that things can change. However, because each session is prepared in advance, cancellations or reschedules within 7 days of your booked date require a new booking and deposit.
If you cancel more than 7 days before your session, your deposit can be refunded or transferred to a new date.
Vocal Sessions specialises in professional Video Singing Reels (also known as Vocal Reels or Video Vocal Reels) for singers, performers and actors.
Below are answers to the most common questions about choosing songs, backing tracks, cut lengths, cancellations and what to expect from your Vocal Reel recording session.
I’ve had a last minute audition, can I cancel my Vocal Reel session?
Because sessions are prepared in advance, cancellations or reschedules within 7 days require a new booking and deposit.
Do you have a cancellation list for earlier Vocal sessions slots?
Yes, I have a cancellation WhatsApp group, you can follow this link to join and if a session comes up earlier then we can move you forward: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BKjdyeK5MBY0Cezs8MUUgX
Can I bring someone with me to my Vocal Reel session?
Yes you can bring someone with you.
Can I warm up when I arrive for my Vocal Reel recording?
Yes, I can give you some time before we start recording to warm up, just let me know when you arrive.
What if I wake up with a sore throat and can’t sing on the day of my Vocal Reel recording?
Your voice always comes first.
If you’re unable to sing, I’d recommend cancelling - however, sessions cancelled within 7 days do require a new booking and deposit, as preparation time has already been allocated.
How long does it take to receive my Vocal Reel?
I aim to get your reel back to you the same week, usually a couple of days after your session.
Can I post my Video Singing Reels on instagram and TikTok?
Yes, as soon as you receive your video you can post it to socials and spotlight.
