VO Recording setup ( physical placement of mic, pop filter and script)
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has found an "elegant" solution to the awkward dance of having VO talent stay "on" the mic, use a pop filter, and still be able to "see" the script... In my experience, the music stand approach encourages the talent to look down, and thus speak off axis into the microphone... Does anyone out there have a solution that has worked for them? I'm not trying to compare mics / pop filters, etc. I'm asking more about any tricks or products that have helped this situation. It would be great to see any pics you might have of your set up. thanks! Kenneth |

Re: VO Recording setup ( physical placement of mic, pop filter and script)
One of my talent gave me a (partial) solution for this: she folded the top of the script back and hooked it over the top of the Manhasset, which raised it up high enough not to direct her voice down off mic. This only works for short scripts, but I was doing ads, so it helped a lot.

use a teleprompter, or text overlay with something like Video Slave (would even be sync).

So I've the script in front. . . and then at slightly-below mouth level aimed a tad upwards (as I always assume they'll be looking down so i'm compensating) I've the microphone aimed at their mouth from the front-side 45 Degrees. |
