I would add.....have the singer sing multiple passes as long as they can retain power and edit from the multiple takes. Pay close attention to what the vibrato/tremelo on the voice is doing. You don't want to abruptly crossfade into a less intense or slower speed from more intense/faster speed. Ideally (obviously depending on the song) I would be looking for a very strong vibrato easing in as the voice carries on with maybe the vocal snapping out at the end. Map out how you hear the vocal in your head then try to have the singer create the pieces you need to string together the illusion. Ron Reitz Lakewood Productions
