GUEST,Ray, {55 years of recording experience}. help: singing in tune in a microphone (40) RE: help: singing in tune in a microphone 11 Dec 02


I do hope that you will not be offended by this as my comments are only being truthful and honest about something that is a very common problem with many people. Forget the microphone, don't blame it for something that is quite a normal aberation in the human hearing system. The simple fact is that people who are tone deaf are the very last ones to ever recognise the fact until they hear themselves played back on a recording. What you hear is what other people have probably been aware of for quite some time, but have not had the nerve to tell you about. A microphone, is a very sensitive and truthful instrument, and it cant lie, it can only faithfully record what it hear's, that is unless some electronic changes are purposely made in the sound through the recording equipment at some stage, during or after, the recording is made. No, what I suggest that you should do is to try some professional voice training lessons with an experienced teacher, and then hopefully, maybe you will be able to overcome your obvious problem of tone deafness. I do sicerely hope that this will help you with your future ambition of being a singer, and eventually perhaps show you the real way to success. Yours truly, Ray.
