Sound Thoughts - Singer

I had previously uploaded onto YouTube of my friend Paige Harker singing Between the Trees - White Lines and Red Lights. I think that it is well suited to my genre and it is original but I will get her to re-sing this because it is from a while ago. However, if I get her to re-sing this I want to possibly use the guitar because it is going to be one of my props as I feel it makes music more about the musician and guitar is many people's passion. I had posted this video on facebook to get comments and people had agreed that she could be professional as she can also play instruments and I think people could link to her because she has a lot of passion in music. From the beginning of the project I knew I had wanted to use my friend Paige as my trailer song because I feel that it will have more effect and be more original. I feel that her voice fits the Romantic Drama genre as it is quite a soft voice with edge and I feel this could further represent the events of the trailer because it could be soft as the characters are falling in love, and become edgy to show the complications.

This is another video in which I had created of Paige doing Hinder - Lips of an Angel. I think this could be suited to my genre but it is more than likely that I will not use this as a soundtrack in the trailer. I think that I will not use this as a soundtrack because it is not the type of song in which would be represented in this genre, but the message of the song is suited to the genre Romantic Drama but it was just a sample of my singers voice.

Looking at both trailers for romantic dramas there is quite a lot of upbeat music to show the action, so I am planning on asking Paige whether she can play the drums also for parts of my trailer. However, by looking at a walk to remember I realised that loud music like this is not appropriate for my trailer because it does not represent the story in which it does in that of the professional trailer. Furthermore, I am going to use upbeat yet soft music like in the trailer below:

I looked at the following songs:
Faber Drive - Forever
Faber Drive - You and I
Faber Drive - Tongue Tied
Carly Rae Jepson - Call me maybe

I have chosen all of these songs because they show feelings in which could be related to the plot and narrative of my products and I want this to be replicated. Also I chose these because they were less known and I want my trailer to be fully original and want this to be recognised yet it would interest people into finding out more. I have a vague idea of which songs I am going to use and which one's I will not use. I am not sure yet whether I am going to get the music played or use and instrumental to sing to but I would prefer it to be all made by me and my friend, with her playing the music herself. Also I feel all of the songs in which I have picked are professional in terms of genre because if you look at the two clips below it shows upbeat music in which I will replicate:
