2023.08.15 – 0957 - Popping on the Mic

Popping on the mic

Symptom: Some letters are pronounced by the lips temporarily stopping and then releasing a flow of air from your mouth. That means that when you say words with ‘p’ and ‘b’ in them, particularly at the start of a word and particularly if that word is at the start of a sentence (when you have more air and energy), air may hit the mic, causing the sound to momentarily distort on-air or on the recording.

Prescription:

· Be aware of words which contain these ‘plosive’ sounds and back off from the mic an inch or two as you say them.

· Do this together with reducing the power of pronunciation of such letters, and consider turning the mic at a slight angle so that you are speaking across it rather than directly into it.

· You should also have a pop shield or filter fitted to the mic – either a foam covering directly on the head of the mic, and/or a gauze-covered ring attached to the stand and sitting in front of the mic.

· More in episodes 555 and 556.
