In today's video, Austin goes over how to approach writing vocals on an instrumental track. This video goes over how to find a selection of melodies, structure those melodies into a flowing vocal melody, find the theme and concept of the lyrics, and write the lyrics of a verse, pre-chorus, and chorus.
