How close should singers be to the mic?...
Hello World!
This is Bear just blogging some useful info for singers and engineers about vocal proximity to the microphone when performing. As I do my best to keep up with blogs, trends and technology - I tend to read a lot. I found this little piece of advice from the @Shure blog. It gives a fairly accurate description for suggested distances for singer, check it out below. I’ve also included the link to the full article below. Happy consumption!
The “I’m singing background” distance—usually 1.5 to 3 inches (2 fingers to 4 fingers).
The “I’m singing a quiet, intimate lyric” distance—usually 1 inch or less (1 finger or less).
The “I’m really belting it out and I don’t want to hurt someone’s hearing” distance—usually 6 inches to arm’s length, depending on the singer, the song, the instrumentation in the band, and the size of the room.
