Without proper rehearsing, a song will lack the professional sound that comes with the confidence of knowing exactly what you are singing/rapping. Hydration throughout the day is key because it keeps the vocal chords lubricated and functioning at their best. Drink a beverage, preferably none carbonated, to loosen vocal chords (hot tea or room temperature water works well). Warm up the vocal chords before recording by ascending and descending scales as well as loosening the throat, jaw, tongue, and lips. A lot of times, singing in the car over the sound of the radio, car noise, and various other sounds will really add a lot of unneeded strain to the vocal chords as well. Try not to overexert vocal chords by yelling or singing at high levels. Having only the artist, engineer, and producer is ideal in most cases so try removing any unneeded onlookers. Recording in a darker setting by dimming the lighting, and using lamps and other light sources may help the vocalist feel less self conscious. Setting the temperature cooler or warmer, depending on the artist's preference is always a good starting point. There are simple adjustments that can be made in the studio to create a comfortable space for the artist to work their magic.
