@GuitarSith @ambergrey @geoffduncan Working alone I try to record vocals in one session.
I warm up earlier in the day, then do a dummy run through the song, wait for half an hour and start the real recordings. This convoluted prep seems to get my voice into its best shape.

@GuitarSith @geoffduncan @ambergrey @elsemusic Yes, I imagine this approach would lead to the best sounding vocal line. As a musician with 3 jobs (now down to 2), my sessions have often been 20 minutes or less with zero prep time.
Thankfully, the last full time job ends in January.

@GuitarSith @ambergrey @geoffduncan I still record one section at a time, though. Often (not always) recording all the verses first, then the choruses, then the bridge if there is one. I'll do 3-5 takes of each section.
I then pick the best take for each section, with an ear to keeping vocal timbre consistent. Usually but not always the last take is the best. I then listen carefully and steal a syllable, a word or a phrase from other takes as needed.
