03-11-09《大马薪传》方言歌录音 Recording For "Dialect Song" of Anak Malaysia

这天，大家的心情都很紧张！第一次要进录音室叻！一到达录音室，大家就开始暖暖嗓开开音，为接下来的录音作最后的准备。原来录音还真不容易，要对住麦克风，不能到处乱晃，不然，收音会忽大忽小，效果不好。然后，平时习惯动来动去的舞者们就显得格外僵硬！哈哈……
别看短短几分钟的歌曲，要录完还得花上4、5个小时！单单一个“山歌唱出……暗思量……”都得录上快十遍了！

We were very excited since it's the first time we go for recording! Once we arrived, we did some warm up for our voices as preparation for the coming up recording. It's not as easy as we thought. During recording, we were asked to stand close to the microphone but we wer not allowed to move around since the pick up might be unstable. Therefore, the dancers were very uneasy to stiff themselves in front of the mic... Haha...






叶老师打头阵，第一个进去录音。“山歌唱出……暗思量……”
