A factor related to distance you failed to mention is that of dynamic variability. At closer distances, even small changes in distance will result in pronounced changes in audio levels, while recording at further distances from the microphone, small changes in distance are barely noticeable in the recorded levels. In other words, all else being equal, when close-miking, you must maintain a steady distance if you want consistent levels, while at far-miking, you have greater freedom of movement in every dimension. Other than that, you are spot on with everything, and very thorough in your coverage of the subject matter. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much - that was just what I needed. Perfect explanation and demonstration (really helped me understand positioning better). Keep up the great work....
Any change in angle other than pointing directly at my face causes a distorted muddy sound. I don't believe I've had this problem for longer than a couple days. Any ideas/solutions? Edit: I use an MKH 416 to record my voice
Tall Guy Films I'm trying to make a booth out of a closet and am looking for a mic stand that will provide the precise examples that you demonstrate in this video, also using a shotgun mic, while I'm standing. I am 6'2" and am afraid that most of the mic stands I'm seeing with a height of 60"-62" will be too short to extend the mic to my mouth straight on and also a little elevated. Am I correct? Any suggestions? I'm also looking for a low profile base. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You might look into getting a round base stand and buying a boom arm separately to get some more height if you need it. Obviously it won't be stable if you boom out, but going up you should be fine. Going just above mouth height is still about 6-8" below your total height and your mic and clip/shock mount will give you a few extra inches.
Thank you so much, this has explained why I'm having so many issues with imperfections and clarity.

Thanks guy, I've been struggling.
thanks for the tips! Really helped improve my audio final product!
Wow this was the video I needed to figure out how to make decent voiceovers with my rode NTG. Great work!
Thanks for these examples mate. Very helpful!
Yep ! Creating good sound is a profession. You're totally clear !
Hey man nice video. Nobody else explains this subject better on youtube.
The problem I run into is Sibilance and finding the best off-axis shotgun pattern.
great video and cozy music :)

Well done! Thanks.
I love this video! Thanks:)
I give this film a 10/10 very tall
Bro, you're legit. I appreciate you making these videos 👍

@@AlteraSound I pulled the trigger today with a Tripod stand w/Boom. I thinking I can make it work, and am hoping it does. We'll see when it arrives!
he sounds like the guy in khan academy
