[QUOTE="Mike Caldwell, post: 42551, member: 170"] Re: Should be required viewing for all vocal newbies (and maybe some oldies) I watched them and feel about same as Kevin did. With some editing they would be very good. I would have liked to have them truly demonstrated the audible difference when cupping a mic and not. At times they kind of contradicted themselves about being right on the mic and then latter talking about proximity effect and saying back off the mic to clear up the low end. Me I'll deal with proximity effect all day if it means someone actually staying on mic! As to the video helping those who think they already know how to use a mic when their mic technique has been "taught" them by watching a music video of the one hit wonder of the week....I'm not going to hold my breath. There needs to be a video produced targeted to MC's, presenters, and podium use. Item one would be don't be afraid of your own voice, number two if your following the seven foot giant at the podium take a second to adjust the mic back down to your mouth or visa versa. [/QUOTE]
