MACKIE (A Céline Dion FanFiction)

At the Studio

Mackie always thought of how things are being done in a studio while recording. She's quite fascinated how a Céline Dion would start a song and record them and how she adjust herself to make it as perfect as it can be.

She watch a lot of interview and the making of albums videos and it shows a lot but not all of it. Certainly 5 minutes or less for each one of the song. "Miles to Go" and "Us" would be 2 of her favorite but underrated songs. And the Album, Let's Talk about Love is her favorite of all.

She came with her Mama and Papa at a recording studio for another album. The Vegas residency had ended a week ago and her Mama is up for another album. A lot has been coming in and she's never felt so blessed.

Mackie's wearing her 80's outfit, pants, white top and a coat plus the white disruptor. She had her hair tied into a bun. While Celine slays on this nice slacks and lady suit, hair in ponytail and with that really nice stiletto.

There she saw David Foster sitting in front of the Piano and greeted her Mama with a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Hello David. This is my daughter, Marie."

"Hi Marie. I am David."

"Yes, I do know you Sir David." She said and took his hand for a handshake. David chuckled.

She took her seat at a couch at the back. She can see everything and everyone doing their stuffs. The studio is big and there she can see the other room from the glass monitor in this side. That's the booth where artists sing and record.

Céline and David worked on the new ones in the piano. They were sitting there inside and booth trying to figure out  how would Céline think and of course how David make them into perfection!

While Mackie has been watching her Mama do her vocal warmups which she always finds fascinating. She's been copying but she can't do the lip rolls right.

Renè's seated beside her daughter trying to answer all of her questions inside the studio. There are really good sets of microphones at the side and Mackie stared at them and be curious.

"David, about what I told you the other day, I wanted to try." She says.

"Well, here is the new aregló I had made for the previous songs. Do you think she can sing them?" David said.

"She sang 'At Last' at Oprah and she got every note. I'm still yet to know how high she can go."

"Alright, shall we know?... Marie?" David called. She was in the middle of examining the buttons at the control panel when she heard him. Céline smiled and mouthed her to come inside the booth and she did.

"What other songs of your Mama can you sing aside from 'At Last'?" David asked straight to the point. He never need to ask from 'those high ones'.

"Uhm... I can sing 'Where does my Heartbeat Now' Sir and uh 'Call the Man' and the Titanic."

"I see... can you sing 'All by Myself' as well?" Mackie knew it was him who produced that song and being asked like that by him, it makes her tremble. She's aware the expectations is really high.

"I never really...tried them Sir."

"Come on, Just David. I'm not THAT someone." He joked to loosen up the air. He can tell she's nervous and she has to relax to get that note right.

"Okay, Well try it... I presume you know the song?... Let's go from top." David started playing the Piano.

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
