2. Find The Optimal Distance Between You And The Mic

This is one of those microphone techniques for singers that require a bit of experience and finesse.

You can control the distance between you and the mic throughout the performance to create certain effects in your voice.

Now, the problem lies if you do it incorrectly:

Do it too close and you’re going to have that cool low DJ effect and also known as “eating the mic” (which isn’t the best for vocal performances…)

And do it too far away at the wrong time and you are going to lose intensity in your song…

That’s why learning how to sing into a microphone and controlling the distance depends on what effect you want to create for your audience which is crucial for a singer.

Here are some cool effects you can create for your singing.

This is when you bring your mic close: When you want to emphasize your breathy tone or sing quietly.

When you bring in your mic, it enhances the lower frequencies, also known as the proximity effect (and that’s how the cool DJ effect is created…)

But when you bring in your mic closer, it also makes noises like making your breathing more audible.

So the perfect time to bring in the mic closer is if you want to emphasize your breathy tone and create a good feeling.

A lot of music ministers do this in there songs and performances to bring out good output 

Those are the two primary effects you use when you bring in your mic closer.

Now, the other technique is to bring your mic further out.

And the reason you want to do this is that when you bring the mic out, it decreases the intensity of the voice and makes it less likely for distortions to happen for your performance.

The best time to pull your mic away is when you are about to belt a note for your performance.

Now when I say move your mic away, I’m only talking about a couple inches (so 4-6 inches would be perfect.)

And another thing you want to note is to get the timing right when you pull your mic away.

Pull your mic too soon and it’s going to lose the build up for your crescendo.

And pull your mic too late, and it’s going to create some vocal distortions at the beginning of the note.

These are some professional microphone techniques that take some practice to make sure that you time it right so that your performance goes smoothly.
