Hi,

You need to tell us what style of music and what the project is like. Also need to know your budget. First class singers will cost you $200 to $400 per song.

There are a lot of us here who have hired vocalist. I have people in England I have worked with for rock/Pop. And people in Nashville for country.

I have used Fiverr but never been very happy with the quality. That is not to say they don't have good people.

Professional singers will get back to you pretty quick. One to two days. You need to tell them what you want and what you expect in timeline. They will expect for you to write the top line (notes they will sing) or pay them to do so. Some singers are very good at that others are useless. There are people who specialize in writing top lines. The more technically you can explain what you want to hear the more likely you will be to get it They need to agree in writing. This is a contractor who is working for you and this needs to be a business arrangement.

Unfortunately it sometimes cost a bit of wasted money to find someone you really like. A short vocal test on your material is well worth the investment and normally cost around twenty or so.

Try to find someone who specializes in the style you are writing in.

By the way, there are some good singers on Bandcamp.

A company called SoundBetter has good people. I would recommend Blake M. for country.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
