Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: The biggest conception about what I do in regards to singing background vocals, is that anyone can do it, which is partly true. If you want a vocalist to do more than "ooh and aah," however, laying down background vocals on a track is a little more complex. It involves some knowledge of vocal arrangement, for example, knowing when and where to place a harmony, ablibs, etc. Every song, for example, does not require three-part harmony, while other songs can benefit highly from this background vocal approach.
