Chris & Deby

A few weeks ago one of my clients needed a new vocal tag. I contacted Chris Mezzolesta and Deby Cedars via private leads and asked each of them to sing "Van Hyundai Online Dot Com". Both did a great job and both versions were submitted to the client. Van Hyundai decided to use BOTH voices and had me edit them with Deby singing the first part and Chris doing the "Dot Commmm" way way down. Here are all versions;

1. Chris full tag
2. Deby full tag
3. Deby & Chris together for final

Easy to work with, all pro and the client is very happy. Thanks!!

well done to all of you! It sounds great! I actually like all 3 of them, but the combined version is the most original, I understand why the client went for that. Very Happy

Oh Wow....I had never heard the complete one of Chris. I think his was better than mine. Mine had some funky pitch correction. The final product is the most unique though.

Okay Sid, I think by now everyone here knows I don't like jingles, but..... but.... (damn this is hard for me to say).... but I LIKE these!

They're really catchy, I love the music, they're SHORT! and the vocals are great. I LOVED the sub-baritone 'dot com'!

Kudos to you, Deby and Chris. This is good stuff!

Thanks Scott....and everyone else. Jingles are a "crap-shoot" to begin with. You can produce 20 jingles and although some of them will catch their ear, only one will really stand out. All of you can admire Chris & Deby for this one. I just listened to their posted vocals, selected the music I thought would fit, told them where to come in and they came up with the melody. Like a big-time producer once told me "That's why we call you TALENT". You are no better then the people you are working with.

Yo Chris....I don't know if you noticed or not but your original "dot.com" is a full step higher than Deby's track. I had to do some manuerving to get it down for her version. I sped up Deby's version, transfered your "dot.com", then brought it back down to the correct speed.

I suppose I could've tried it the next morning around 5 am, probably would've gotten it! On a side note, the great vocal jazz group Singers Unlimited used this method to get some phenomenal bass notes from their bass singer, the late Len (Jolly Green Giant "ho ho ho") Dresslar, they'd arrive in Germany to record their album, Dresslar and leader Gene Puerling would hit the pub, then get up bright n early for Len to record whatever below-the-staff stuff Gene wrote in his arrangements. Worked like a charm.

If it were me though, I'd pitch it down in the computer Very Happy

Love the duel jingle work. Great job Deby and Chris. And I'm assuming it paid more than $75? lachtot
