"We are in and out of there – sometimes in an hour-and-a-half! – and we’re done with the track": Burned out recording vocals? Myles Kennedy shares his top for getting the perfect take

Myles Kennedy makes his point during an early evening festival performance. He plays his signature PRS T-style and wears all black. .

Recording an album isn’t easy on anyone. It’s a marathon process. It’s hard enough on the guitar players, trying over and over to nail the perfect take, but it can be brutal on vocalists. There is only so much load the voice can handle.

Myles Kennedy knows this only too well. Vocal burnout is real. The Alter Bridge frontman and co-conspirator of Slash says it takes monastic discipline to keep his voice in working order when on tour.
