This probably isn't much help, but when I was working in a studio, a good few years back, the few people that came in to do d'n'b/jungle tracks would get a vocalist to do a shed loads of takes, with different vocals and improvising.  Then it would be cut up, sometimes using next to nothing.  One approach could be to put an add out, for a singer, and even if they're not fantastic, with enough takes, and an editing package (Wavelab, etc), you're bound to be able to get something usable.

Subject: [dnb-prod] Vocals

been searching for answers for a while on this topic. i think im right in saying that many producers out there dont get vocalists just to sing one or 2 lines in there tunes.

however , vocals often give  a great effect (for those of you into the soulful, funky side of d+b). ive tried sampling vocals from obscure records but you often end up with those instruments and drums etc from the other tune interferring in your tune.

also tried sampling acapellas, but these are quite rare and therefore doesnt give you much option. also tried taking one or 2 liners out of movies but its more speech than singing.
