Serious singers, do take note.. when, where and how much to scoop or slur… MATTERS. Thanks for taking the time, Ron!

A little bit of something like that goes a long, long way. If you have something in your arsenal of vocal tricks that is compelling, use it in small doses, or compelling quickly becomes irritating. If you have something that is a great identity lick, leave’em wanting more. Make it something that, when people hear it, they are attracted to you without even knowing why. You only need to check out a lot the singers of the National Anthem at major sporting events, some label artists as well as most of the amateurs. I keep expecting the announcer to someday say, “And now, ladies and gentlemen, please stand while Podunk Records recording artist, Blahvinia Slidenotes, scoops the National Anthem”. Cameras pan the players and the fans and, if they are listening at all, many of them are smiling, some in derision. And when getting vocals in the studio, if the artist is doing a lot of scooping, you can bust a studio budget pretty quickly trying to punch in twenty-five or thirty scooped words. It is almost impossible to “fix it in the mix” without leaving some artifacts here and there. Not a pretty thing.

Does that help?
