Reading this thread cracked me up😂 Yorkshire is a county within England. So there are lots of cities and towns within the county like Bradford for example (which I’m assuming is why you’ve heard of Yorkshire bcos of Zayn, or Doncaster bcos of Louis) my accent is like a jumbled up mix of Yorkshire and other northern accents! Hope that made sense 💚
This was SO helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make this and share your know-how with UA-cam. Your video makes getting started feel so much less scary
This came at just the perfect time for me ahahah! I’ve only started getting into doing covers and I’ve been recording them and just not uploading because I want them to be the best they can be before I actually put them out there, but i was wondering do you have any advice on getting yourself “out there” if you will as a person just starting out making and actually uploading covers and stuff?? I’d really love the advice!! Thanks so much for this video btw, I used to look at your old version of this religiously so I got so excited seeing this in my description box hahahah xxx
Awww girl I spent years doing that - recording and not uploading! Perfectionism is both a blessing and a curse! But I can honestly say uploading was the best thing I ever did, and once you’ve done it it’s like what was I so worried about? As for getting yourself out there it’s such a tough one, I was making videos for about a year before they started getting much of any attention. You’ve got to be persistent and not disheartened if it takes a while! I’ve still got sooooo far to go and I’ve been doing this ages now but I love it and that’s the most important thing. Whatever you do, don’t spam advertise yourself on other people’s channels because it’s just kinda annoying for creators who’ve build their channels up for other people to think it’s ok to fill your comments with self promo if that makes sense? Plus youtube will automatically mark your comments as spam and they’ll stop showing up on channels anyway and you don’t want that! It’s totally cool to see a cover you like and leave them a personalised comment of what you enjoyed and how much you’d appreciate a bit of feedback from them, but not just a copied and pasted thing to every channel! That way you can kinda build friendships and connections with UA-camrs on a similar journey to you and you can support each other and help each other grow, collab etc! Try and keep up to date on current songs too & hashtagging on instagram is a great way to promote yourself too 💚 thanks so much for your support and I hope that helps you out x
Shelley Mill thank you so much for taking the time to write that! And yes I’ve noticed before creators get annoyed by spam comments, I can honestly understand why, taking the time to create something and put your heart into it for someone to just try to use it to their advantage can be so disheartening! Thanks so much again, lots of love xxx
Thanks for making this video!! When I was starting out doing covers I watched it to start making my own covers. Then I rewatched it to see your style of tutorial videos and I tried making one of those for the first time to answer some of the questions I was getting from friends. Thanks!
Authentic advise Shelly✌️I'll keep that in my mind🤞 Love your mentering how easily and sweetly you explain each interrelated thing. I was searching for it too long.
Omg this helped a lot I've just started my channel and didn't know much on how to record and what to use to make my covers even better thanks xx hopefully soon I will be uploading x
I have a few questions. Do you _need_ a microphone to edit and sing? Do you think it is necessary? I also love the idea of starting a singing channel but I’m not ready to show my face to the world. Any tips? I’m still also quite confused about how to use the editing programs. Thank you for this video as it helped so much! I would love it if you answered some of my questions.
No as mentioned you don’t NEED a microphone, it just makes the quality a whole lot better! It’s definitely harder to get views and stuff if you don’t show your face because I feel like people like to put a face to the performance if that makes sense! Just film when you’re at your most confident, wearing your fave outfit, on a good hair day etc and you’ll naturally feel more open to putting yourself out there. As for the editing programs, it’s definitely a lot of trial and error and just getting used to it, but I can’t explain or demonstrate any better than I did here as everything is explained!💚 glad I could help you💚
Tia Chocolate what is your ideal end goal? If you can’t show your face it can only really go so far as people do start to connect with you as a person, your style, your humour and little personal qwerks that can’t show without posting your face if that makes sense! If you’re just doing it for fun and aren’t too bothered about views then you could always just post with an image throughout the whole video, but like I said it can only really get you so far. As long as you keep your personal identity private (so keep where you live, your place of work/education private as well as your personal social media platforms) showing your face in my opinion isn’t dangerous. But I totally respect what your parents say if you’re young! Maybe speak to them and explain? If it’s something you’re really passionate about they might rethink! Hope that helps 💚
Thank you for these videos! Because of them, I ended up buying a Blue Yeti and now I'm waiting for it to arrive :) I've been doing a lot of research but your video was the fist I bumped into and I'm totally glad that it happened. Thank you for sharing it with us! X
Thanks for the advice! I finally had the confidence to upload a few videos singing and it's what I need it. I love it. I hear a few videos of you singing and love it! You have an amazing voice! Thanks and stay safe!
So when you record the audio and video, they're separate recordings? For instance, you record your audio first and then record your video of you "singing" and then sync them up together? Just wanna make sure I understand that part :)
@@shelleymill First time watching your video! I have been wanting to make videos of myself singing for quite sometime but I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment! So you record yourself singing with your camera at the same time you are running garage band to record your voice?
Hey Shelley. Thanks for making this video; very helpful and good advice. I use Windows so some of what you say does not apply to me; but I'm making headway with figuring out how to film and record. For anyone reading this I am using OBS at the moment, which is free and is actively being developed and improved all the time; so I do recommend it. It can be used for recording videos and games and also streaming.
Aw thank you! I don’t really do enough to make a video out of it! I just use bed head re energise shampoo & conditioner every other day and always brush my hair with a tangle teaser & let it dry naturally as much as I can! I use Brazilian keratin on the ends if my hair gets a bit dry but that’s pretty much it 💚
Glad i could help! You’ve got this, I’m sure you’ll be amazing! Just search for the song you want to cover with the word instrumental at the end on UA-cam x
Samson g track pro is better than blue yeti as i watched too many reviews on youtube about those 2 mics ..and it's almost the same price so imma get it soon hopefully ☺️
For your next video can you do a tutorial showing us how you set up your mic and the usb to the computer please, I'm still kinda confused on how to do that
You’d need an audio interface specifically for an iPad if the mic isn’t a usb mic! I’ve never personally used my iPad to record so I can’t really give any advice for that but definitely research an iPad audio interface 💚
Thanks so much for watching! The only way I can really encourage is using iTunes.. sing2piano always have their instrumentals available on iTunes and they make some of my favourites 💚
Queen_prettyjay1997 c hey lovely! As long as you're enjoying making videos and are happy with them don't worry about the views, they'll come in time it took me ages to start getting regular views! Have a little confidence in yourself and keep working on your voice if you're not happy with it. And don't worry about equipment either, you just need your voice and something to film yourself with to start off with! Remind me when you upload & I'll for sure check your videos out xx
Glad you found it helpful!! That’s one thing I just don’t want to mention because they all have a risk involved where viruses are concerned.. so I don’t wanna recommend one to anyone and be responsible for someone wrecking their computer in a way if you get me?? Just do your research and look for the reviews to make sure you’re choosing a safe one 💚
Shelley Mill that totally makes sense, thank you! I have an MXL 990 that’s been collecting dust but I finally have the stuff I need to bust it out so your video was perfect for helping me out, thanks again 😘
Do you think you would ever do a video on how you use garage band? I want to start a channel as well, but garage band has me lost. Also, where do you find instrumentals? Love your channel btw!
Hey! I know it’s a super long video but stick with it because there’s actually a section of me demonstrating what I do on GarageBand! I also explain everything to do with instrumentals and how I get them in the video too 💚 thanks so much Haley x
Ohhh haha I really did try to explain it the best I could! And maybe you missed it I did mention that, they’re from iTunes or UA-cam and I explained the process of permissions to use them etc! hope that helps 😊
you should also be careful because some artists who own the rights to their own music (as opposed to the record company owning them) can have really strict rules, like the eagles for example. I’ve gotten copyright strikes before for posting covers. Although there are distribution sites that you can get the rights to post so that you’re legally in the clear
I previously used a MacBook then bought an iMac last year! Loved both, macbook is more convenient though as you can of course move it around and edit on the go!💚
This helped soo much. For the instrumentals, how do u combne it to the microphone and headphones to know that that you are in sync with the instrumentals?
Covers are allowed through fair use, as long as your not claiming the song to be your own and are clearly stating it’s a cover, it’s completely fine :)
Shelley Mill even if they are bigger channels where you are getting the karaoke to do the covers? So as long as you write that you do not own it and where you got it from you wouldn’t get copyrighted and you still get paid? Thank you
So you dont need mechanical/sync licenses?Also do you need extra permission to record the backing tracks from the owner,as I'm aware that when purchasing backing tracks,you are purchasing the licence to use it,but in a lot of cases,this doesn't include the rights to record the track?which site would you recommend for using backing tracks for you tube please?
It’s a very helpful video, the one I was searching for, but I’m confused..... while recording the video.. do we actually sing or just mimic the words... and then later attach our vocals into it?
Hi Shelley, this was extremely helpful(I came over here from your oldie tutorial). I'm very new to making covers and have recently revamped my method to be more professional. I wanted to know if you have a good way to find instrumentals for less popular or non-mainstream songs and also what you mean exactly by asking permission before posting a cover. Couldn't that take weeks to never to hear a response from a popular artist? Thanks in advance and if it's a long answer feel free to DM me. -Frie
Glad I could help! I literally just search UA-cam for instrumentals or I make my own. As for permission, you don’t need to ask the artist as youtube already has that covered when you upload and the rights can go to them automatically, you need to have permission from the instrumental creator and you’ll find they either state generally that they give permission for people to use them for covers, or just comment on their video asking for permission if not :)
Hi Shelley, thank you for such detailed video. I have a question, it might sound super silly but do you actually record the audio and video at the same time? I know you mentioned about the clapping thing, but for a very long time I thought you record the vocals first and then the video some other time, and super impose the clapping, but I’m super lost, unless I got the entire thing wrong and you actually record audio and video at the same time. Please let me know. P.S. I loveeee your covers and you are such an inspiration to me
Hey! Glad I could help! I did explain in the video that I do both.. it just kinda depends on the day, how the live footage turns out, if I have to make edits or add backing vocals etc! Either way is absolutely fine it’s just whatever works best for you 💚. That’s so lovely thank you so much 💚
I have a Shure SM58C, its basically a regular condenser microphone, and a acoustic guitar-vocal Nuxe stage AC50 amplifier (both are used in live performances) can i use them to create videos like yours with the same quality?
Hey! I wanted to know something, so if you cover a song using the soundtrack, or even a karaoke video you find on UA-cam. Can you put the soundtrack or the karaoke version on your UA-cam cover, like obviously giving credit. Because I recently started playing guitar, but I’m not as good YET, so I want to do UA-cam covers, but I’m not sure if I could😬 If you could help me with this, I would be so grateful!💕 Btw love the video! It’s really helpful!!
Hi! So I’m interested in starting a cover channel.But how do I sing live with the instrumental on a mic? Im having trouble syncing that together since I don’t play instruments.Thanks for all your help and advice!
Shelley Mill thanks a million! I was just asking ahead because I feel like not everyone covers and it’s hard to find an article about it.but thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video!! I was wondering if you compress the video size cause my videos tend to be really big! If so what do you use to compress the size? Thank you so much! 🤗
@@shelleymill hahaha totally understand! Also do you have any tips for how you record your video for a cover with respect to the precorded audio componenet? I have watched so many videos, but people tend to graze over that detail which I think is super important. For example I use pre-recorded audio for my covers so when I am creating my cover video, let's say, how would I use the pre-recorded audio in context of using it to record the video. Play the audio off my laptop while I lip sync...I have seen people clap at the beginning of their video and audio to sync up the two parts but if you don't start the pre-recorded audio for your video right after you clap it's the same issue all over again! I have tried to get this all on sync but my lips are often not in sync with the audio and it looks awful 😒 Sorry for the very long comment, but I greatly appreciate your help! (:
Finally,someone who really tries to explain our real questions.Thank you so much,you are great!👌
You’re so welcome 💚

Hey lovely! It literally just plugs straight in through one wire into the USB port so there’s not really anything to show 💚
Shelley Mill if I was to use an ipad for garage band would it be the same thing? Connect the Mic to the ipad?
You’d need an audio interface specifically for an iPad if the mic isn’t a usb mic! I’ve never personally used my iPad to record so I can’t really give any advice for that but definitely research an iPad audio interface 💚
Or for the yeti or any usb microphone you’d need a usb to lightning microphone adapter 💚

Glad I could help! I can hear the instrumental as I record through using GarageBand and the yeti mic so I’m always in sync 💚
Shelley Mill ooooh ok
Do you have to have some sort of legal protection for the copyright infringement? Like a mechanical liscence? I always wonder this
Covers are allowed through fair use, as long as your not claiming the song to be your own and are clearly stating it’s a cover, it’s completely fine :)
Shelley Mill even if they are bigger channels where you are getting the karaoke to do the covers? So as long as you write that you do not own it and where you got it from you wouldn’t get copyrighted and you still get paid? Thank you
So you dont need mechanical/sync licenses?Also do you need extra permission to record the backing tracks from the owner,as I'm aware that when purchasing backing tracks,you are purchasing the licence to use it,but in a lot of cases,this doesn't include the rights to record the track?which site would you recommend for using backing tracks for you tube please?
Thank you so much I will show this video to my brother so he can make a covers in the future
It’s a very helpful video, the one I was searching for, but I’m confused..... while recording the video.. do we actually sing or just mimic the words... and then later attach our vocals into it?
,the mic can get quite CRACKELEEE' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m from the north of England hahaha we say things literally how they’re spelt 😂
@@shelleymill yeah I know. It's just so interesting and funny at the same time😂
I NEW IT
I really want to make my own channel and record my own covers😍 but I don't know where to start
Honestly this video should really help you out I spent ages planning it & filming and editing to make sure I got through everything 💚
Shelley Mill thank you very much 💜
So informative 🖤
Thank you!!
Thank you Shelley - I make tracks, if you are interested let me know - I use GarageBand on MacBook as well
No problem! 💚
so can i not buy the microphone if i live in the us, and use the system of money there?
Yes sure you can! Just search for the blue yeti on the US Amazon 😃
Hi Shelley, this was extremely helpful(I came over here from your oldie tutorial). I'm very new to making covers and have recently revamped my method to be more professional. I wanted to know if you have a good way to find instrumentals for less popular or non-mainstream songs and also what you mean exactly by asking permission before posting a cover. Couldn't that take weeks to never to hear a response from a popular artist? Thanks in advance and if it's a long answer feel free to DM me.

Glad I could help! I literally just search UA-cam for instrumentals or I make my own. As for permission, you don’t need to ask the artist as youtube already has that covered when you upload and the rights can go to them automatically, you need to have permission from the instrumental creator and you’ll find they either state generally that they give permission for people to use them for covers, or just comment on their video asking for permission if not :)
Hi Shelley, thank you for such detailed video. I have a question, it might sound super silly but do you actually record the audio and video at the same time? I know you mentioned about the clapping thing, but for a very long time I thought you record the vocals first and then the video some other time, and super impose the clapping, but I’m super lost, unless I got the entire thing wrong and you actually record audio and video at the same time. Please let me know.
P.S. I loveeee your covers and you are such an inspiration to me
Hey! Glad I could help! I did explain in the video that I do both.. it just kinda depends on the day, how the live footage turns out, if I have to make edits or add backing vocals etc! Either way is absolutely fine it’s just whatever works best for you 💚. That’s so lovely thank you so much 💚
Hi Shelley nice one really helpful video
Hey!! Thank you, really glad you found it helpful x
So helpful! Thank you!
Glad I could help 💚
omg this is a life saver! thank youu
I have a Shure SM58C, its basically a regular condenser microphone, and a acoustic guitar-vocal Nuxe stage AC50 amplifier (both are used in live performances) can i use them to create videos like yours with the same quality?
Hey! So if you have/get an audio interface you can use your equipment to plug into your computer and record with :)
Hey! I wanted to know something, so if you cover a song using the soundtrack, or even a karaoke video you find on UA-cam. Can you put the soundtrack or the karaoke version on your UA-cam cover, like obviously giving credit. Because I recently started playing guitar, but I’m not as good YET, so I want to do UA-cam covers, but I’m not sure if I could😬 If you could help me with this, I would be so grateful!💕
Btw love the video! It’s really helpful!!
Yes you can do! Just check the description of the karaoke video first to make sure they don’t say that you can’t use it! So glad I could help💚
Shelley Mill thank uuuuu!!!!💕💕
thanks this helped a lot
You’re welcome, glad I could help 😀
This has helped no end thankyou please cover Jorga Smith let me down :)
You’re welcome, so glad I could help! I’ll put it on my list :)
Shelley Mill I just posted my first video audio not good please check it out :) let me know thoughts 👌🔥
Hi! So I’m interested in starting a cover channel.But how do I sing live with the instrumental on a mic? Im having trouble syncing that together since I don’t play instruments.Thanks for all your help and advice!
Heyy! I know the video is super long, but the best explanations I can possibly give for your question is all on there so stick with it!💚
Shelley Mill thanks a million! I was just asking ahead because I feel like not everyone covers and it’s hard to find an article about it.but thanks again!
No worries 💚
Thank you soooooo much!!! ❤️
Sony Vegas Pro 13 is what I'm currently using but I want to switch to Movavi soon
Ahh thanks for sharing alternative programmes 😄
Loved it so good explanation!!
So helpful. Thanks
People who say u use autotune are just jealous cuz they don’t have a beautiful voice like urssss! 😆
Aw thank you so much 💚
Good job 👏 Thanks so much 🙏 Warm cheers 😊 God bless 🙏🎸🎶😊
Thank you so much for this video!! I was wondering if you compress the video size cause my videos tend to be really big! If so what do you use to compress the size? Thank you so much! 🤗
Hey! No problem, no I don’t I just save it as normal on iMovie but that’s probably why my videos take so long to upload 🤦♀️
@@shelleymill hahaha totally understand! Also do you have any tips for how you record your video for a cover with respect to the precorded audio componenet? I have watched so many videos, but people tend to graze over that detail which I think is super important. For example I use pre-recorded audio for my covers so when I am creating my cover video, let's say, how would I use the pre-recorded audio in context of using it to record the video. Play the audio off my laptop while I lip sync...I have seen people clap at the beginning of their video and audio to sync up the two parts but if you don't start the pre-recorded audio for your video right after you clap it's the same issue all over again! I have tried to get this all on sync but my lips are often not in sync with the audio and it looks awful 😒 Sorry for the very long comment, but I greatly appreciate your help! (:
