I love your "harmonizing the weather lady" video and "the high class stuff" video. I want to try doing something similar (mimicking speech with music).. I think that would be a cool way to incorporate spoken word parts in songs.. but I can't seem to get the hang of it. Any tips? What was your process when writing the music to those videos?
start by deciding what the melody is. spoken language can be ambiguous, a lot of in between notes, a lot of bending slurs, a lot of totally ghost notes with no pitch. make a decision on what every note is. then go in and start having fun with the chords
