Well, I would like to thank all who shared their thoughts on my daughter's performance. After watching videos on YouTube about mic techniques, as most of the feedback on this thread focused on mic techniques, I learned and found out that there are issues related to mic that can easily be spotted...

Chris K , after watching about mic techniques on youtube lately, I understand why the comments here are focused on mic. Indeed, mic issues can easy be spotted as she performed. BTW, thanks Chris K for your comment. I watched your youtube channel and just subscribed it as Creator.King. I...

Rob_aylestone Well, I have no clue about PA equipment settings for large auditorium but for this particular show, the sound was really good and loud and no distortion. I haven't heard any mic feedbacks during the show even the performers moved around the stage near the edge very close to the...

keith.rogers Thanks for sharing. Good to know. I used to use external mic to connect on my DSLR camera but I stopped using it as I wasn't satisfied with the result of the audio quality. I heard many good reviews of Zoom mics and perhaps I will give it a try. A friend of mine offered me Zoom H4n...

VomitHatSteve She just turned 18.

The sound quality during the actual performance was actually much better than the one on the video. I was using DSLR camera with its built-in mic (no filtering) to record the video and the sound in the auditorium was very loud that the sound level overdrives the mic of my camera so the sound in...

Thanks Rob aylestone. Wow, I never thought about the soundman. I will surely let my daughter read all the comments here. She likes moving around the stage when singing and put more expressions on the song. You are right, the sound feedback may even ruin the show.

Oh thanks miroslav. Good to know. As mentioned, she doesn't have vocal coach and I don't have any clue in terms of teaching vocals. She enjoys though singing high note songs like Adele, beyonce, etc. so comments from professional singers/coach would be appreciated.

Hi guys, after long while, this is again my daughter with her live performance. I've shared about her own first home recording (Audio editing - is it necessary for all recordings?) that she did by herself. Now I'm sharing her live performance. It's not perfect as she doesn't have personal vocal...

keith.rogers ok thanks. Basically we have similar set up except that during my daughter's recording, she did not use the preamp. I asked about the limiter coz I saw it on youtube and I thought it is necessary during recording. Also, I found out that the Audio Technica AT2020 is more suitable...

Ok, this is going to be into more detailed refining now. Let's see what I can do with my limited audio editing knowledge, otherwise, I'll ask my daughter to retake with better/decent video as well. About her signing style, yes, she said she can control the vibrato/tremolo. For this particular...

Thanks again keith.rogers . One question; teaching singers on microphone techniques is one thing but how about us, as technical persons, how do we eliminate this issue to minimize retakes? In your case, do you apply something like hardware limiters or compressions during the recording or you...

Steenamaroo ok I got your point. Indeed, in that recording, she did a lot of movements; closer and moving backwards from the mic but that I understand as it was recorder by herself during her free time just for fun. She has though a little bit of recording experience in a studio. Below is the...

Thanks Steenamaroo Ok, I need to research more on mic technique. Is there any tools you thing I should invest for this? Perhaps high end mics, sound diffusion mic booth shield, etc? I only have Audio-Technica AT2020 mic for my daughter :-(

Ok, here's the edited version, audio only. I will work later on the video. What I did: 1.) cleaned up the vocal track, remove some noise 2.) Applied a little bit (very little) of reverb on the vocal track 3.) Replaced piano track with new one Please let me know if this improved or not. I'm...

keith.rogers, thank you very much! That clarifies everything. When I work on vocal tracks, I always follow the below steps as my general guide. Though most of the time, the sound ends up too artificial :-( 1.) Noise reduction 2.) Compression 3.) Filtering (low pass, high pass) 4.) Equalization...

Thanks TAE. Yes, I think she did it in one take with Zoom R24 multitrack recorder. It was her first recording that she did it my herself during her free time, so the audio accompaniment and video quality are not good. I will try to play around with the vocal, perhaps applying reverb and apply...

Thanks for your inputs/feedback. This was her first recording and I actually encouraged her to do more cover. The accompaniment she used for this cover was a low-res mp3 audio. I think that part I could help her to improve on her next recording. Also, she doesn't know how to operate our DSLR...

I did a audio home recording just for a hobby. I have portable Zoom R24 digital recorder/mixer. Few days ago my daughter recorded a song during her free time and posted on Youtube. No audio editing just raw files. I was surprised when I heard it. This sounds better than my edited audio. How can...

Hi, I'm not good in singing but I think my daughter is. She's 13 and would appreciate your comments on how to improve her voice. If vocal coach is needed, which part/weakness to be improved. Your comments and honest but constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Thank you
