In a hilarious parody of what a sound engineer does in the recording studio, we offer the following video for your listening….um, laughing pleasure.

The video is almost like a summarization of an episode of American Idol when all the really bad singers come on.

According to Sons of Liberty Media‘s Bradlee Dean, “That is exactly how it works. No kidding. Not to that degree but you get the point.”

For many musicians, this is also true, according to Dean.

We’ve all heard various people live and to be honest, wish we hadn’t, especially if we paid money to listen to them.

However, that is not to say there are not great musicians and great singers out there. There most certainly are, but I think after hearing a Britney Spears song, one must conclude that the sound engineers are working overtime to make her voice sound remotely pleasing to the ear.
