“Hello, Producer.”
First of all, Yerin Lee greeted.
Apparently Sarah didn’t tell the children otherwise, she had a pretty surprised face.
The other trainees were similar.
Everyone had seen each other once or twice.
First of all, it’s not like Jo Sung-hyun hasn’t confirmed it at all as a producer.
However, with the exception of Ye-rin Lee, everyone treated Jo Sung-hyun with awkwardness and care.
It’s Yerin Lee. I’ve talked to Jo Sunghyun quite often and asked for vocals a few times, so I’m used to it, but other people aren’t.
When she was greeted by Jo Sung-hyun first, the other children also came to their senses and bowed their heads to greet Jo Sung-hyun.
“Oh, hello!”
“Hello, Producer!”
Greetings are popping up everywhere.
Sarah stood behind her and sobbed.
Then, Yerin Lee turned into a smirk and quickly made eye contact with the other children and opened her mouth.
“one two. hello. Muse!”
Five trainees bow their heads at the same time to say hello.
Apparently, the name of the girl group was decided as Muse.
Seong-Hyeon Cho nodded his head.
“hello. Well… Can we do a vocal recording once in a while?”
He brought up the subject right away.
Everyone was looking at Jo Seong-hyun in an awkward and nervous state, but I didn’t think it was necessary to say anything long here.
I don’t have the talent to solve awkward things.
As a producer, I am filled with only the thought of doing my job as a producer.
At Seong-hyeon’s words, everyone glanced at Sera.
It seems that Sarah is clearly in control.
Seeing everyone staring at Sera before doing anything.
“I will guide you to the recording studio.”
When Sarah said that, Yerin Lee smiled.
“Take good care of me.”
She looked at Jo Sung-hyun and said, and at Lee Ye-rin’s words, everyone greeted Jo Sung-hyun by saying good things to her.
It seemed like he was more nervous than necessary, so Jo Seong-hyun felt himself tense.
It’s a situation right before our debut, so it’s natural to be nervous and have a lot of energy… .
‘I wonder if I can do well with this hardened state.’
In order to write and produce songs, you must first know about the music of girl group children.
Their vocals, their style… You will have to consider everything and write and produce the song accordingly.
To that end, I suggested that we try to record vocals once.
I’ve heard of covers of other artists’ songs a few times already, but I couldn’t figure it all out, so I’m trying to feel the vocals on set.
However, I was worried about whether I would be able to speak properly because I was so stiff.
Arriving at the recording studio.
Before Jo Sung-hyun could say anything, Ye-rin Lee raised her hand.
“Can I do it from now on?”
“like. Let’s start with Yerin.”
Anyway, I was thinking of doing it from Yerin.
I knew her vocals well, but I thought that I had to show her working together with Yerin Lee first in order to relieve other trainees’ tension and show them how to do it.
“The song… Shall we try ‘Time,’ which we covered last time?”
Yerin Lee nodded as if she understood his words.
“I will work hard.”
“There’s no need to overdo it, so relax and sing comfortably.”
So the recording begins.
Yerin Lee also finished the recording neatly.
Jo Sung-hyun did not touch much except for a few words in between and a little more directing to fit Ye-rin Lee’s vocals.
Of course, that little direction was quite different from the cover that the trainees prepared and recorded.
After Yerin Lee’s turn,
“next… ”
Jo Seong-hyun swung and moved his gaze and looked at the four trainees who were looking at him with their eyes shining, and made a noise and then chose the one sitting on the far right.
“Serine?”
“Yep!”
“Are you ready?”
“Oh, I’ll do my best.”
Jang Serin.
He is a trainee from Pan Entertainment.
At least I’ve seen her face a couple of times.
Serin Jang entered the recording booth with a nervous expression on her face.
Those who have just become adults, or who will soon become adults.
You’re young, and it’s natural to be nervous no matter what you do.
It was my daily routine to keep an eye on it, so I was even more nervous.
Jo Sung-hyun smiled softly.
Because you don’t have to work too hard.
I don’t know if that smile helped or not, but anyway, Jang Serin gulped and swallowed once before opening her mouth.
– Can we start?
“Yes, I will.”
Jo Sung-hyun said so, and played the music.
Likewise, it was ‘Time’.
After taking a deep breath, Jang Serin opened her mouth.
– Time, leave me alone.
Her vocals are spit out like a snap.
Jo Sung-hyun moved his fingers and tapped the table.
Not bad vocals.
However, there was no need to proceed like a sting, but I was giving it too much force.
Are you thinking that you need to show your vocals with an impact?
Seong-hyun Jo watched silently until Se-rin Jang finished her part.
She quickly shut her mouth and gently lifted her gaze to look at Seong-Hyeon Jo.
“Let’s relax a little bit more and sing one more time as if we’re pressing it down a little, shall we? Time, Naal, Joom, leave me alone. with this feeling.”
I think it would be better to sing softly without straining the neck, but I don’t think it will be easy to release the strength all at once.
So, Jo Sung-hyun chose the next best thing.
When asked to call her as if to press down on her, Serin Jang paused as if in a bit of embarrassment, and then nodded her head.
“I’ll start.”
Seeing that she nodded, Jo Sung-hyun played the music again.
Se-rin Jang, wearing a headset, quickly adjusts her posture and prepares to sing.
Just like the part she just sang, her vocals were spit out.
Another part is style.
– Time, leave me alone.
As Jo Seong-hyeon said, Jang Se-rin spit out her vocals as if pressed.
It has less impact than before, but it blends in with the song much more naturally.
Jo Sung-hyun raised his thumb with a satisfied face.
Not all of them were inferior in their own abilities.
If you hold on to it a little bit, you’ll get better than the original vocals in no time.
‘It won’t just improve my vocal skills.’
Jo Sung-hyun’s work was a little different from that.
Simply improving your vocal skills is something that other vocal teachers, not Seong-Hyun Jo, should do.
Jo Sung-hyun is just trying to take them and make the best music.
Jo Sung-hyun’s role is to look at each individual as an instrument, and to think about what kind of music to create by combining the five instruments.
Whether it was because she was a little more comfortable to call or the awkwardness had gone, she had a more comfortable face than before.
“This time, I’ll take it a little bit more and go again.”
Yerin Lee directed her once or so, but not the others.
Unlike Yerin Lee, who has worked together several times, this is the first time for other trainees to work like this.
In order to understand the details and produce good vocals, it was necessary to direct several times and repeat the recording.
So, the work began in earnest.
* * *
Hyeon-ah Jang took a step away and looked at Seong-hyeon Jo.
She sighed in admiration.
Jo Sung-hyun’s eyes were completely different from when he was with Chae-yoon.
When I’m with Chae-yoon, my eyes become so soft that I can tell what honey drips from my eyes.
No, it’s just the eyes.
The eyes themselves were different.
That wasn’t to say that Jo Seong-hyeon wasn’t serious when working with Chae-yoon.
Now it was really ‘serious’ itself.
Seeing Jo Seong-hyeon concentrating on her work, Jang Hyun-ah sighed and sighed.
If you work hard like that, you can’t stand still as a manager.
You have to prepare really well for Me Tube and make it a success.
With that thought in mind, Hyuna Jang turned around and found the trainees looking at Jo Sunghyun with eyes full of tension and admiration.
She held back the laughter that was about to escape.
Clearly, Cho Sung-hyun was a capable producer.
With a few directings, I found and recorded a vocal that suited me better than before.
The trainees were watching the process in real time.
It’s a tense situation, but it’s enough to admire.
‘Is the number of followers of Jo Seong-hyun increasing?’
Jang Hyun-ah thought to herself.
All artists who have worked with Jo Sung-hyun so far admired Jo Sung-hyun’s skills and continued to search for him.
Of course, the only artists I’ve worked with so far are Yumi and Seo Yena.
‘If you see that Jena-san suggested that we work together again this time, it was definitely different.’
Yumiya has been with her since she was a rookie and Jo Seong-hyeon was a manager, so even if you say that.
Seo Ye-ra was entrusted with a digital single out of nowhere, and this time she also asked to work on an album.
She even asked for a feature, so you can see how much she trusts Jo Sung-hyun.
That’s not all.
‘There… Words are coming out of the surrounding area.’
Not only those who worked with Cho Sung-hyun, but also other artists and the industry are slowly coming out.
A talented composer and producer came out.
There is a lot of talk about Chae-yoon.
The girl group and muse also worked with Jo Sung-hyun.
This is a group that will last for about a year, but in the meantime, you will receive a lot of help from Jo Sung-hyun.
“It was a good thing I said let’s do Me Tube as well.”
This should be widely publicized.
Times are changing.
Not only is the artist getting attention, but the producer behind it is also starting to get attention.
Jang Hyun-ah believed that the birth of a star producer would be of great help to Pan Entertainment.
Perhaps, he won’t just stay as a producer.
She gently raised the corners of her lips and moved her gaze again.
I see Sera standing with her back against the wall and looking at Jo Sung-hyun.
She was showing a smile of satisfaction.
Sera, who was looking at Seong-hyeon like that, made eye contact with Hyun-ah Jang, perhaps noticing her gaze.
“While the producer and the muse are working, shall we talk about work?”
“Good.”
In response to Jang Hyun-ah’s words, Sarah nodded her head.
Sarah has to make the muse a success.
Jang Hyeon-ah must make Jo Sung-hyun and Chae Yoon-i successful.
And if Sarah and Hyeon-ah Jang talked well enough, they would definitely be able to succeed.
‘Unconditionally, it succeeds.’
Jang Hyun-ah promised.
