Artists! This is an imprortant one right here... setting your mental mood before you open your mouth is extremely important if you want the recording to be something special.
Setting a mental mood simply means putting yourself somewhere else in your mind. You want to think about whatever your song is about... put yourself in that environment mentally. For example, if the song is about your ex, as painful as that may be, re-live that situation all over again. You want to have those same feelings in your vocal performance so the listener can really grasp the message. The song may be about spaceships... well think about flying in a spaceship and seeing things you never saw before. Then press the record button.
You can help establish that mental mood by diming or turning off lights for example. You'll just have to have your lyrics memorized since you won't see them in the dark! (Memorizing your lyrics for each take really does wonders while recording.. the biggest stars of today don't read stuff when they're on the mic.) You can try different color lights.. a different recording position..lay down if the room acoustics can handle it! Set that mental mood any way you can, and you'll be amazed at all of the acclaim from your fans. Happy Recording.
