There were several reasons why Cho Sung-hyun wanted to record the guide himself.
once first.
‘I don’t have much time.’
Now they were running out of time.
Of course, if I gave up on the quality of the guide recording, I would have to take other trainees and record it.
It will take a little longer than Jo Seong-hyeon does, but it will be finished this afternoon.
However, Cho Sung-hyun could not give up the perfection of the guide recording.
If I had thought of giving up on it in the first place, I would have handed over the guide recording itself to Woojin Choi and Kyungsoo Woo.
He must have just listened to the results and ended up directing Seo Ye-na in a bit more detail with that.
But today I changed my mind.
Cho Sung-hyun was a little bit stimulated.
I wanted things that could show results properly.
The fact that he recorded the guide himself was an extension of that, and he was confident.
‘It’s like recording a guide.’
Jo Sung-hyun thought to himself and glanced at Choi Woo-jin.
Choi Woo-jin was looking at Seong-hyeon with a seemingly ridiculous face.
Seeing him, Jo Sung-hyun burst into laughter.
Does Woojin Choi know?
It means that Jo Sung-hyun has recorded dozens of hundreds of guides in the past life.
At that time, there was no one who even assisted with the recording like Choi Woo-jin.
I just recorded and made a song by myself.
Under Choi Hyun-jun, who became the team leader of the 3rd singer team, Jo Seong-hyun did not receive much care.
Things are quite different now.
Choi Woo-jin is assisting, and Woo Kyung-soo and Seo Ye-na are also trying to get along with Jo Sung-hyun.
Cho Sung-hyun wasn’t worried.
“Woojin, are you ready?”
“Ah yes. brother. I was ready… Are you really okay?”
Choi Woo-jin looks at Jo Sung-hyun and asks.
He had a slightly worried face.
I had no choice but to do so.
From Choi Woo-jin’s point of view, Jo Sung-hyun was a manager until recently, and even though he is showing quite a lot of abilities as a producer… Recording the guide version is a completely different story.
“it’s okay. I will go in.”
After waving his hand lightly, Jo Sung-hyun entered the recording booth.
The reason why Jo Sung-hyun didn’t worry about this or that was actually simple.
‘It’s not that I have to have great skills.’
It’s not a test of your vocal skills.
This is a guide recording, and only serves to tell Seo Ye-na how to sing this song.
There was no need for great digestion, only the emotional lines were perfectly shown.
Jo Sung-hyun didn’t think his vocals were that great either.
His vocals are just mediocre.
Of course, the standard of the ordinary is slightly different from that of ordinary people, but in any case, that was the thought of Jo Sung-hyun itself.
Of course, I had no intention of going too far.
I just decided to go on my own because I decided that I could convey my emotions with certainty as I was the composer and producer of this song.
Jo Sung-hyun put on the headset and looked at the microphone in front of him.
He chuckled and caught his feelings.
Ready.
When he looked up at Choi Woo-jin, he gently nodded his head to show that he was ready.
toothpaste.
A song began to play along with a small sound as the headset connected.
Then, Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth.
Guide recording started.
* * *
Choi Woo-jin looked at Jo Sung-hyun from outside the recording booth and played the song.
I was a little uneasy about how Jo Seong-hyeon was going to record the guide.
Even though it was a guide recording, it was not so easy to capture this emotional line.
That’s why composer Choi Woo-jin also suggested that he use another trainee because he’s not confident.
What on earth was Jo Sung-hyun thinking when he went in there?
Choi Woo-jin looked at Jo Sung-hyun with anxious eyes.
sup.
The sound of Jo Sung-hyun inhaling his breath resounded very softly.
And then his song.
I mean, actually.
I was a little afraid.
Hook, heavy emotions are thrown.
Nonchalantly, I just sing a song like a small complaint.
Choi Woo-jin’s eyes, which were anxious, were instantly dyed with astonishment.
‘uh… ?’
What is this?
what did i just hear
I couldn’t calm myself down.
The moment I heard that vocal, my heart fluttered and reacted.
Seong-hyeon Cho was letting out a very heavy feeling.
That’s even more heartbreaking.
Actually, I’m confessing that it’s not that it’s nothing, but that I was afraid.
Because I’m talking about it casually.
Woojin Choi gulped and swallowed.
Jo Sung-hyun’s guide continued.
i envy you so much
You’re not hurt by this.
Sing lightly, changing the tone of your voice.
This is not the main vocal, but a vocal that deserves a background sound.
At the vocals of Jo Seong-hyeon, who speaks while suppressing emotions in an instant, Choi Woo-jin exclaimed with a huh.
Don’t say that.
I’ve been hurt a lot too.
I was very sick too.
In the following vocals, emotions were revealed without filtration.
Jo Seong-hyun sang as if pleading, raising his hand over his chest.
Choi Woojin took a deep breath at his vocals and leaned back on the chair.
At this level, isn’t it the ability to be a singer right away rather than a manager?
Of course, it was not that Cho Sung-hyun’s vocals were as neat or as great as other established singers.
However, Choi Woo-jin thought that at least he was doing better than himself.
Even if you don’t have the skills to make a debut right away… Among the trainees, he is at a level that can be called the best.
Choi Woo-jin judged that very personally.
don’t push me too hard
I’m not that strong.
Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals continued, and he was able to finish the recording without losing his emotional lines until the end.
When Cho Seong-hyeon took off the headset, Choi Woo-jin was startled and operated the equipment.
Jo Seong-hyeon, who cleaned up her messy hair by gently wiping it up, took off her headset and came out of the recording booth.
“how about it?”
“No, bro. Just be a singer.”
At Choi Woo-jin’s words, Jo Sung-hyun smiled and motioned for a quick play.
It’s true… .
Woojin Choi muttered like that and played what he had just recorded.
Jo Sung-hyun frowned slightly, then opened his mouth.
“I think I didn’t focus on the cheap part, I’ll go back.”
“… yes.”
It was okay for Choi Woo-jin to hear, but when Jo Sung-hyun said he had lost his concentration, he had no choice but to nod his head and answer.
No, it was funny to express any dissatisfaction or anxiety even after hearing that vocal.
In the end, Cho Seong-hyeon was satisfied after recording three or four more times.
They did the final finishing touches with the guide recordings.
“This is enough, doesn’t it?”
“It’s not just a level. Even if it’s like this, there won’t be many people who can say anything about it, right?”
“I would be offended. This is a song that Seo Ye-na needs to sing to reveal its true worth.”
Jo Sung-hyun said that and got up from his seat.
Now that the song was complete, it was time to visit Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo.
* * *
Jo Seong-hyeon and Choi Woo-jin went together to visit team leader Woo Kyung-soo.
They could even see Seo Yena there.
“… hello. Jena.”
I didn’t expect to see you right away, but it seems that Seo Ye-na had already come.
Jo Sung-hyun greeted Seo Ye-na and turned to Woo Kyung-soo, team leader.
“It’s all done?”
“Yeah, I got all the guide recordings… Now you just have to listen and judge.”
At Seong-hyeon’s words, team leader Woo Kyung-soo nodded.
She glanced at Choi Woo-jin, who was shaking and greeting Seo Ye-na.
“Mr. Woojin.”
“Ah yes. manager.”
“I’m really sorry, but is it okay if I borrow Seong-hyeon Jo for the duration of our meeting?”
Team Leader Woo Kyung-soo says:
He’s speaking politely, but in any case, the real meaning is that we have a meeting now, so please wait.
After all, after listening to the song, we now have to discuss how to prepare the album.
If there was a composer involved, it would have been uncomfortable in many ways.
“Ugh. Absolutely. Actually, I have to go practice now… thanked.”
Woojin Choi nodded and bowed his head to say hello and then left the office.
Jo Sung-hyun, Seo Ye-na, and Woo Kyung-soo entered the conference room together.
As soon as the door to the conference room closed, Seo Ye-na shook her head at Jo Sung-hyun as if to start listening to the song.
Jo Sung-hyun played the song he had prepared right away.
I just finished recording the guide and a song plays until I clean it up.
In post-production, the song itself was made neat so that there is no delay as much as possible.
Jo Sung-hyun had to feel a strange feeling when his own voice came out.
As always, when I listened to these recorded songs, it didn’t sound like his voice.
Woo Kyung-soo and Seo Ye-na kept their mouths shut without saying anything after the song was played.
Seo Ye-na’s expression was changing every moment.
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo maintains a slightly stiff face from the beginning to the end of the song.
the song is over
“this… .”
The first person to speak up was team leader Woo Kyung-soo.
She seemed to ponder for a moment what to say, and then finally spoke.
“It’s pretty good.”
“Not bad. It would be great if the song was completed with Seo Ye-na’s vocals.”
Seong-hyeon Cho said confidently.
It was a song that suited Seo Ye-na’s vocals much more than his vocals.
In the beginning, Seo Ye-na was superior to Jo Sung-hyun in her vocal skills.
“How are you, Jena?”
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo glanced at Seo Ye-na and asked.
Seo Ye-na was looking straight ahead with a blank face.
When team leader Woo Kyung-soo asked a question, she shouted ah, came to her senses, and opened her mouth.
“It’s good. Let’s proceed like this. Shall we start recording from today?”
“The time is ambiguous today, so let’s start tomorrow.”
To Seo Ye-na’s words, team leader Woo Kyung-soo immediately responds.
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo had already thought of proceeding like this.
hold a brief meeting.
After deciding how to adjust the schedule, they stood up.
Team leader Woo Kyung-soo left the conference room first, and Seo Ye-na and Seong-hyeon Seong went out together.
Jo Sung-hyun suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, Seo Ye-na.”
“… ?”
“If it’s okay with you, can I ask you a favor?”
In Seo Ye-na’s eyes, a question arose.
