Need more volume for female vocalist

[deaf pea]

just a question...

how´s her mic technique? she´s not "cupping" the mic? the lips should touch the mic´s grille almost all the time, backing away for the loudest screams only...

I think we have a winner!

But I would leave out the "almost" . . .

I beg to differ. I've been a lead singer for 30 years, and I make an effort to never get closer than two inches from the mic. Much better sound, and more even sound level. Haven't had an issue with feedback in my mic for the last 20 years. But then I have a fairly loud voice, and I use it. I can get through rehersals without a mic in a pinch...
