As stated, brain/stamina/planning are the paramount requisites.
PLUS MONEY.
If you are looking for original (as opposed to printed arrangements) then
try to find an arranger who you know has a track record. And who will also
be able to play the piano accompaniments, (which he will have written) on
the recordings. That way, you may be also able to use him as a producer as
well. I have found from experience that even with excellent musicians
(singers), one does not always end up with a high quality recording unless
someone knows how to co-ordinate and edit the different "takes". A producer
can enthuse the whole "bunch" into "action" when required, because
invariably with amateurs, there will be moments of boredom during the day`s
recording whilst sound engineers are at work testing and altering mike
positions etc. Then suddenly you will find that you`ve got to turn on the
full "works" and "give your all".
There will be editing also, after the recording, to some degree. So the more
pennies you`ve got, the more chance you have of coming out the other end
with a successfully recorded CD.
Make sure you are FULLY rehearsed BEFORE entering the studio doors.
Best wishes,
Tony W.
