Digital Recordings for auditions, recitals, lessons, and practice
Virtual Choir Sound and Video Editing
Digital Recordings
I’ll work with a given tempo with additional instructions for ritardandos, luftpauses, and tempo changes. Sending recording clips of the actual performer singing or playing certain sections requiring a little nuance is helpful in providing a better fit.
I offer up to two corrections/adjustments for free. Beyond this, the fee is $10 per additional change.
Price per song (Samples of levels below)
Level 1
Common pieces, standard vocal and instrumental pieces, short pieces. (Suzuki books, 28 Italian arias, etc.) $25
Level 2
More difficult pieces, many tempo changes, lots of rubato, i.e. Strauss, Brahms, some Ravel, etc. $40
Level 3
Really difficult pieces i.e. some Hindemith, Bartok, Muczynski, Creston. $100

Virtual Choir Sound and Video Editing
Turn around time is between 2-4 weeks. Faster turn around may be possible depending on how good the submitted recordings are, how sophisticated the piece is, my work schedule, or the necessity of the client.
I do not autotune recordings, but I can/will correct minor rhythmic inconsistencies - misaligned cutoffs and sustained notes.
Sound only: Sound mixing individual recordings together. I can also make a video with just a placeholder graphic.
Sound and Video: Sound mixing and video editing. This is just the standard virtual choir boxes. If you have an idea for something more creative and can provide the footage, I’m happy to work with that and negotiate an appropriate price.
