Hello guys, I've got a few questions regarding how to record my voice.
The other day, while I was singing my friends told me my voice was quite similar to that of Elliot, which I like to take as a compliment though I don't completely agree with them. I searched the forum and found some topics where this was already discussed but I'm not quite familiar with the terms you used so I decided to bring it up once more. Sorry if I seem to be flooding.
Keeping in mind that Elliot has a great voice, how do you think he recorded his voice? When I listen to him, it sounds as if more than one Elliot sings, and I think the vocals alone don't explain it, there must be something more than the vocals. I don't play any of the instruments but piano, will get the background music done by a company and get my voice recorded there. I don't know what is needed to achieve that effect. Some say it's double tracking, some say it's harmonizing etc but as I said earlier I'm not used to the terms like reverb, delay etc.
What am I supposed to tell the one who will help me edit my voice after recording? Or is it something done while recording? Please help me with a simple language. Thanks in advance.
Here is a song by Elliott smith, in which the effect I'm talking about is most apparent.
