I cried tears of joy that this was pointed out...treat us soundguys right and we'll treat your performance better.
sound in house people are so important. Respect. You guys make us sound good out there. That’s the most important thing in a music show, after all.

Much respect to you for that, man. 👊🏾✌🏾🙏🏾
Aspiring Vocalists! Listen to this man. This stuff he’s sharing with you is the real deal. I wish I had this video when i started singing live. I had to learn this by hard way, by making the mistakes he will help you avoid. These are pearls of wisdom dropping all thru this video. Thank you, Mr. Scott.
He should also be a comedian because I was laughing the whole time. “ last time I check slapping the mic was not an instrument”.😂😂😂
I started singing in church . This lesson was very helpful . Christ bless you !
This is excellent! As a singer uncertain about what the heck to do on stage this has been invaluable!
This is so good!! Definitely sharing. One thing I thought of to add is that if you point the mic toward the speaker that creates the feedback. So whether the monitor is on the floor, or there is a speaker to the side of the stage (smaller gigs) avoid facing the cone of the mic towards the cone of the speaker.
I love the way you're not ashamed to admit to your very own mistakes that's the only way we're going to learn, grow & get better 😊 We live & we learn 💯 You are 1 of my favorite artists/singers 😍😍🥰❤❤
Also phenomenal singing brother, nice to meet u

Looking for techniques for recording Pop songs and happened on this! Super cool! Awesome video Marcus Scott!
Great stuff man! Thanks! 👍
3:40 keeping the fingers kinda on the mic to intentionally distort the sound is a valid technique
excellent and articulate - the real deal
I love this. Thank you!
This is great, thanks!
Awesome job !!
Very professional. Great tips!
This video is so helpful! I'm a music educator and I can't wait to share these tips with my students!
Some of the "tips" are incorrect, so be careful what you pass along.
Great video! Thx!
Thank you, Sir.
Excellent video with very informative content !
Thank you so much!
Great useful advice 👍
Wish I would have watched this mic video first. Lots of very conflicting information about this topic. This is so helpful to me! Thanks so much.
Glad you found it helpful! 😁👏
I really enjoy learning from your streams. Thank you for this! I never thought I would ever be into singing and yet here we are. You never know what the Universe has in store for your life. Never give up on yourself!
Me neither, universe is a doozie!

I work for a live event production company as a foh and monitor engineer and I wish I could send this to everyone who walks onto our stages before hand some how lolll
Big Thank u sir 😌😌
Thanks a lot
Perfect content👏👏👏
This is gold
Ahaha, great sense of humor. Brilliantly explained!
Awesome!🎵🎶🎷🥁🎸🎤
Awesome
AMAZING VIDEO
...magnificent lecture, indeed, dear friend...
... warm greetings from Santiago de Chile, Downtown...
☺️☺️☺️🎶🎤🎙️🎤🎶☺️☺️☺️
Good no nonsense information.
I spent many years trying to hear myself and I finally got in-ear monitors. Now I just tell the sound engineer to cut the stage monitors, and I listen to my own mix. It takes some getting used to because you can feel a bit disconnected from the room mix, but I can still hear the crowd. Now my biggest challenge is to be more graceful and not get tangled up with the mic cable catching on other gear ( like the mic stand or keyboard stand) I could get a wireless mic, but it's one more thing to charge and connect 🤔 and I have seen singers run out of battery halfway through a song
Super professionalism and It shows all thorough the video. Thanks for sharing. I know a 'singer 'who would benefit from this vide, i.e me!
I came for belt tips with mic use I left with more info thanks. Not sure when it will all become useful but thanks non the less
What are some tips using a mic while playing guitar?
Wow great
U sound good!!
I got a microphone stand clip from piano and I really like to sing.
Also cupping the mic up high defeats the microphones functionality
Thanks! Surprisingly the Senheisser manual says about 2” from mouth to mic. Could be different case for professional singers like him. Maybe different school of thought depending on singers. I’m a newbie sound guy mixing for foh, I advise my singers to keep close when engaged in singing for consistency with what has been gain staged during sound check. Our singers all have mic stand.
If you have 4 singers imho it will be more difficult to fader ride all at same time when they keep moving away from mic.
Senn has more boost than Sure mikes that most Americans (and the world) are using. Sure sm55 or such is very neutral and needs more work. Senn does a lot of work for you. However, if you are solo, pro-singer on stage, everything he said applies.
Nice video
Cool
Thank you ! Very good video ! I laught allot too !
I really wish sweetheart would do something like this for a choir.
I need a masterclass on mic STAND performance. I need to learn how to use the stand like an instrument.
No. No you don't 😆
LMAO the microphone slap ... need to get me one of them =P
🔥🔥🔥🔥😊
Yes, Excellent advice! Except 1 thing is the wrong advice! Pullin away from the mic! You should not di that as it makes your voice thinner! You should twist away from the mic instead, so your not directing all that pressure onto the diaphragm! Instead when you turn 10-15 degrees to the left or right, if the mic, it will accomplish the same thing except your still 1 or 2 inches away from the mic, so in the same proximity of the diaphragm so you'll have the same proximity effect that your sound engineer set up your mix for when you twist 15 degrees to your left or right when you get loud! Twist instead of Pull Away so your vocal doesn't sound thin when you hit loud notes, as usually you want those loud notes to be powerful, NOT THIN SOUNDING! Don't Believe me? Try it for yourself and you'll see!
The thing is that for it to make a noticeable difference you also do change the EQ of the voice by changing the angle. You're right, but it depends on the microphone. Some microphones are designed to handle proximity better than angle differences. In a way, I'd rather have a super-cardioid mic that stays consistent at a wide range of distances than one that keeps it's tone by angling, since depending on who's around you, it will pick that up too. Get to know your mic and you'll choose the right combination of distance + angle to keep the difference subtle.
Wonderful Tips.
i sang in concert a few weeks ago with a mic and they told me i had to sing closer to the mic in the louder sections of the song…. any idea as to why that is?
Don't point the back of the mic directly at the monitors if it's a hyper or super cardioid. They are sensitive directly behind the capsule.
Nice - Interesting - I got a lot done with one stereo mic and have over thirty videos showing the process if anyone is interested.
This brotha got the Sam Cooke Al Greene voice very gifted
Hi , I have a question in regards to gain levels for dynamic mics .. I use a sennheiser 835 and 935 .. I have a really hard time getting the gain levels correct .. if I use higher gain I’m able to pull away from the mic and sing lower but i feel like the mics are so sensitive you hear every single thing including every lip smack which sucks .. if I lower the gain and raise the volume it’s a bit better but I have to be right up on the mic .. I’m sure some of my problem is technique but can anyone recommend anything to help me ? I just do acoustic songs .. I’m just trying to dial this in bc I find I’m more worried about this and not sounding bad than actually playing .. thank you for the help!
Thanks for reaching out! You’re right in that most of those issues can be minimized with technique. Working on different breathing techniques and vocal pronunciation/agility practices will help with this. Practice singing your parts, isolate what words/sections you notice these issues, and try out slight variations with how you sing them and how you breathe throughout the part. Those Sennheiser mics are great, but ultimately if the mic is too sensitive for your singing style it might be good to test out some other less sensitive/softer mics like the SM58. Hopefully this helps!

The microphone 🎤 🎙 slap 🤣🤣🤣
good video, but starting to look dated for the one reason of the scene with the mask. We all lived through that and I am so glad it is behind us. If you get around to rerecording this without the mask I would like to know because I have need of a video like this I can share with as a resource for people learning microphone skills.
Remember guys you’re not making a duet with the mic stand !! 😅 ... been guilty of this in the past .
pulling away from the mic on a higher, louder note is not correct. Our voices tend to get thinner the louder we get, so we need to turn off axis of the mic, but keeps the warmth. turn the mic or your head, but don't pull away too much
Not when it comes to high singing voices. I have a well developed, real high singing voice myself, and unless I’m not in good vocal condition, or somehow singing with wrong technique, my voice gets louder the higher I go.
This is common amongst lots of well developed high tenors and sopranos. Those voices gain real high frequencies giving it more volume.
@@geminikid1617 I think you misread something. I agree with you though
After reading this, I saw how Bruno sings with a mic. He does turn his head but stay close to the mic when singing loudly
Great Video Never cup the mic Besides the bad sound it causes feedback big time
This guy says "best results" more often than I get feedback from the speakers.
This is helpful information for vocalists. Unfortunately, your presentation is marred by plosives due to failure to use a pop filter with this implosive-sensitive mic. Another commenter referred to this problem as sibilance.
I disagree putting the mic back in, is just to slide into taper gently till it stops that way no danger of snaps whatsoever😉
