Topic: Backing vocalist


  
  Backing vocalist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A backing vocalist is a vocalist who sings in harmony with the lead vocalist, other backup vocalists, or alone but in the background of a song.
A backup vocalist will almost always work with a lead vocalist but the converse is not always true.
Backing singer, backup singer, background singer, and background vocalist are all terms with the same meaning: a vocalist who sings in support (in back-up) of a lead vocalist or singer, often accompanied by other backup singers.

 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.
