Prices start from £99 for a one and a half introductory session. There are several studios in the UK with experienced sound engineers and studio staff to help and give advice about your work. It's best to practice at home first then warm up in the studio for three recordings. The best recording will be turned into personalised labelled CD or mini disk. You can also bring some mates along to act as an entourage to experience the full pop star day. http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/Experience/Ref/XSINH If you fancy perfecting your Italian cookery skills, Red Letter Days has a master class in London to take part in.
