Argh - I'm struggling with this problem right now. I am taking a
studio recording class, and trying almost everything to make my voice
sound OK in a mic less than 10 feet away. There is an awful buzzing
that occurs - I'm not exactly what one would call a large voice, but
the proximity effect causes the formants typical to a classical
singer to blow out the system.
You are so right that one must be careful. I really did find myself
tempted to "croon" in order to get a more tasteful sound on tape. I
even tried using parametric equalizers to take out the offending
spectral bands. The result was a totally lifeless sound. Finally,
I've come to the conclusion that I must mic myself in a more natural
setting and accept the ambient noise and reverberation absent in a
studio in favor of maintaining the bel canto ideal of vocal
production.
If any of you experienced classical recording artists/engineers out
there have any advice to share, I'd really appreciate it right now!
Thanks...
