	Liberty Talent \| develop Your Career, Starting Today
		Extreme competence and control are required from a jazz singer who is expected to vocalize with and around the music whilst restraining power and energy, it is rare to hear a loud jazz band who unlike rock bands prefer intricate syncopation and understated technical expertise to volume.
		The singer needs to cater for this by ensuring they have enough songs in a variety of styles (within their preferred genre/s of music) for the whole evenings entertainment with a catalogue of 'spares' and a back up disk containing their set in case of loss or damage to the original.
		This means the backing singer could be vocalizing in a higher or lower octave than the lead vocalist depending on their voice type.

	Vocalist - Singing and Vocal Careers
		Backing Singers are the vocalists who provide harmonies and vocals complementing the melody performed by a Lead Singer.
		Many singers aspire to be like their favourite 'Diva' and whilst the term was originally used for for temperamental opera singers it is now used to describe female singers of any style that fit the criteria.
		Folk singers can find performance opportunities at folk clubs and festivals worldwide although like 'Blues Singers' the gigs may be scattered and wages low, folk music is generous in its acceptance of beginners who are encouraged to practice their art regardless of age/ability.

	Vocalist - The Role of the Backing or Harmony Vocalist - www.vocalist.org.uk
		A good backing singer should be experienced in harmonizing and keeping in time with both the lead vocalist and fellow backing vocalists, sight reading is preferable but not essential whilst the ability to 'hear' yourself, identify and sing the correct notes plus learn songs quickly is!
		The backing vocals on a song can consist of anything from repeating a word, passage or chorus of the song to providing a continuing harmony in time with the lead vocalist.
		This means the backing singer could be vocalising in a higher or lower octave than the lead vocalist depending on their voice type.

	DVD Review: Alanis Morissette: Feast on Scraps
		Although I've always been a fan of the singers, this concert presentation shows that Morissette is a remarkably energetic live performer, especially in versions of "All I Really Want" and "Precious Illusions" that are more fierce than the album versions.
		At its worst, they sound like somebody in the front row was recording the performance on their tape recorder (a small warning on the back of the DVD box confirms that some segments were recorded on less-than-stellar equipment).
		The addition of an entire CD of outtakes from the singer's latest album makes this a very nice value that fans of the singer should consider a purchase of.

	George Graham Reviews Jonell Mosser's "Enought Rope"
		Back in the 1970s, performers like Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt and Tracy Nelson established reputations as premier interpreters of mostly other people's songs, and created a stream of albums that stand to this day as classic recordings.
		These days, there are truckloads of hideously commercial pop CDs by singers groomed more for their video appearance than their musical ability, and on the other extreme, an encouraging number of more folk-oriented albums by worthy singer-songwriters.
		Doing backing vocals in the studio is a surprisingly demanding profession, and relatively few have risen to the top of the field.
