Joshua James Sottile on SoundBetter

If your vocals need particular attention regarding tuning and pocket, I will get you that sound you want! Whether it's cleaning up lead/background vocals or even creating strong harmony arrangements, every one of my clients is extremely pleased with my unique approach. My favorite arrangement I've created had over 40 simultaneous vocal parts!

I'm Josh! I have been producing, recording, performing, engineering and arranging for almost 15 years. I am particularly focused on producing vocals and getting them in tune and in the pocket! I work with a wide variety of singers (varying skill levels, genre focus, style, etc.). Every singer is unique and gifted in certain areas while in others they just need a little polish! I will get your vocals right smack in the center of your pocket and in the groove. If you need a little (or a lot of!) tuning, I will get your vocals perfectly in tune while maintaining the integrity of the initial performance. There's no need to "sound tuned." Your vocals will be "in" just enough so that any processing is entirely untraceable. I will also create harmony arrangements for you! Whether it's a two-part or 30-part harmony arrangement, you will be so pleased with what I am uniquely able to create with you!
As a producer, I also create instrumental arrangements particularly focused on keyboard parts. As a studio musician who has covered a wide variety of genres, nothing is beyond my expertise!
