Similar to what dontxpanic posted a short while ago, but with a twist. It's in regard to spoken word and narration only:
I too have a bass voice - posted a link here short while ago - and I find the addition of a microphone makes me sound snarly (possibly evil). Not so good for sonnets. I've tried moving further away from the mic, but I have to move quite far away to make any real difference and it's then too weak. It's as though the mic is picking up the sound from all over my upper body, not just my mouth. I'm familiar with stage but a newbie to close up mic stuff. Any of you studio engineers had this problem with people more used to treading the boards than whispering into a metal grill?
The actual answer might be that this is how I sound when recorded, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Thanks in advance. I've learnt so much just by reading through this website. Don't know if I'll ever be able to reciprocate though. Wish I could.
