  • Good tips. Dead on about cupping the ball. Directional mics reject feedback because of the openness of the back (physics involved).

    Holding the mic too close accentuates plosives (popping p and b) and introduces "proximity effect," an emphasis of lower frequencies. It can be a useful technique, but usually hurts the clarity of your vocals in the mix.

    Changing distance a little is okay, but treat the mic like it's a flashlight. You want to focus on your mouth. 2x distance = 1/4 sound.

  • great help .. thanks!

  • @JCostilCapo1 Lost a 3rd of your time, eh? The mic at this Open mic I just did was pretty bad; I basically ate it the first song then got them to change it the 2nd song.

  • @robertantonnyc

    it only happen for the first 3 minutes, I was up there for 10. So for the first 3 minutes the back half of the place couldnt hear me. Then someone up front told me to bring the mic closer so The last 7 minutes went pretty good.

  • @JCostilCapo1 you aint see ppl motioning for you to bring the mic closer? lol. Shame to do a show and nobody even hear you.

  • @Luwhorrormovies why not?
