before you start

What you need to record before your first cover

One singer, about ten minutes, no backing music, a quiet room. That is the entire requirement. Everything else is a nice-to-have.

Start with your own voice See what it costs

Short answer

Ten minutes of you singing alone, with no music behind you, recorded anywhere quiet. Cover your normal range — a few low phrases, a few high ones. That is enough to build a voice you will keep using.

  1. One voice only

    No harmonies, no second singer, no crowd. Two voices in one recording teach it a blend of both.

  2. No music underneath

    Singing along to a track is the most common mistake. The instruments get learned as part of your voice.

  3. Your normal range

    Sing a few comfortable low phrases and a few high ones. Something you can hold, not only quick lines.

  4. Quiet, not silent

    A bedroom is fine. A fan, a street window, or an echoey bathroom is not. Room echo is very hard to remove later.

Questions people actually ask

Can I use recordings I already have?
Yes, if they are you singing alone with no backing track. Old voice notes often work well. Live recordings with a band behind you usually do not.
Does a better microphone help?
A little. A quiet room helps far more. A phone in a wardrobe beats a good microphone in a kitchen.
What if I only have five minutes?
It will work and sound thinner, especially at the top and bottom of your range. You can add more recordings later and train again.

What an AI cover actually sounds like

Close, not identical. It sounds like you singing a song you have not quite rehearsed. Knowing where it slips makes it much easier to get a good one.
