Help Me Make My Acoustic Guitar Sound More Interesting?

I think your best best would be to position the mic just right to capture both your vocals and guitar on one track. Plugging the acoustic in is your problem, not the fact that it's mono. You can also then lay a second track of the guitar plugged in over it. No one will be the wiser if you can mimic your own playing well enough.

If I were you:

I'd record the guitar with 2 mics.
Then I'd go back and record vocals.
Then I'd go back and shoot the vid. If you want to make it look realistic, just stick a mic in front of the guitar and sing into one like you've been doing...fake it all and lip-synch the whole thing. you could definitely pull it off.

this would be the ideal way to pull it off, cuz you can really 'sell it' during the video. unless you're a mega-super-rock star, it's generally kinda boring just watching a dude play and sing.

Learn to lip-sync!

No you don't.

1) Record the song with two guitar mics - no vocals.
2) Record the song again on new tracks playing along to the first guitar part with the one mic on the guitar and one on the vocals. (Video this take)
3) Mix the 3 guitar tracks together to get a great full guitar sound. (Almost everyone double or triple tracks guitars.)

If I were you:

I agree that you should double mic the acoustic first, then record the vocal, then just lip sync the video (or don't make the video a performance video, and instead get funky with the visuals).

Almost seems like a consensus or something
