Microphone Technique
When I bought my first microphone, I was shocked at
the cost…should I really be paying out over £75 for this small chunk of
metal? In truth I didn’t really know what it was really doing for me.
If you consider that the cost of the instruments your
fellow musicians have had to pay, it’s really pretty cheap. In an
amplified situation, the mic is your channel to the outside world and by
using one of poor quality, it can only diminish the resulting sound,
i.e. take a great voice and stick it through a crap microphone and
you’ll get a crap sound.
Why not give your voice the best opportunity it’s got
to sound good?
There are different types of mic and different ways to use them,
dependent on what you’ve got and what effect you are trying to achieve.
Coaching covers:
- choosing a mic
- handling you mic
- getting the sound you want
- limiting the muffles and the pops
- positioning of mouth
- using on a mic stand
- moving around
- feedback and how to avoid |
