When the group chose our first artist, we chose an unsigned female acoustic player who had given us a CD of a small sample of her songs. After listening to her CD we decided that we liked her voice but the lyrics on the CD were quite muffled which meant we could not hear the lyrics clearly and what she was saying. We then suggested a list of songs for her to cover. The list was made up of the following songs:
- Foundations by Kate Nash
- Thinking of You by Katy Perry
- Break Even by The Script
- Use Somebody by Kings of Leon (However, we wanted it more in the style of Pixie Lott's version).
On receiving her second CD we discovered that she had only recorded one of the songs we had requested. Though this is the case, the clarity of the lyrics in the song had increased but led us to discover that her voice didn't fit the song we had chosen as she had a more 'Kate Nash' Style voice.
We then had to choose another artist to cover this song so that we could use it for our video. We had already chose an actress, Lucy, to appear in our video who has had previous singing experience and has a very talented singing voice so we gave her the choice to cover the song for our video and she said yes. This will make the whole process that little bit easier for our group as our actress will be more comfortable miming to her own voice and it will be easier for us in the editing stages.
Our group has also found a guitarist that we can use when recording the song, but she will not be appearing in the video as it is not required.
