51m0n Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Also makie sure you put your hand palm down over the end io fthe mic you speak into (the ball on an SM58) This effectively changes the polar respons of the mic, making it more omni directional and thus tending to bring on feedback if its close, better to do it in the souncheck than when you stick your gob right on the mic to sing and release the squeally noise fairies into the night.

witterth Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 [quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1369403708' post='2088846'] My guitarist has a habit of saying "yes" repeatedly in a series of changing funny voices. My old drummer stole the show by speaking backwards into the mic and then suggesting that the sound engineer had plugged it in wrong - bless her, she checked!

seashell Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 When I was in the Sudan (I love starting a post with that phrase, lol), I used to live next to a mosque with an amplification system for the call to prayer. On a Friday morning we would be awoken by the sound of a finger tapping and a bloke saying 'wahed, wahed' into the mic. 'Wahed' being the Arabic for 'one'. My Irish housemates and I would have a little chuckle at this, as an example of the universal language of sound checking. So on the rare occasions that I have to check a mic, I tend to find myself saying 'wahed, wahed'! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oopsdabassist Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1369480373' post='2089644'] It's a popular meme amongst those who play a certain massively multiplayer online role-playing game [/quote] Its a World Of Warcraft reference to player who was away from his computer while his group leader was explaining tactics for an upcoming boss fight, upon his return, he screamed his name across the internet, charged into the fight totally unprepared and caused everyone to die horribly, luckily someone was recording and the whole episode was flashed round the WWW for posterity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCNJRfSZBU the guy is a world class hero for being such a plank, and the game makers even put his name to a reward you can earn in the game!

JapanAxe Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 As it is more helpful to sing something rather than just speak, I like to do a verse of Postman Pat: Postman Pat, Postman Pat Postman Pat ran over his cat Blood and guts were flying, Postman Pat was crying I've never seen a cat as flat as that [No fictional animals were harmed before or during the submission of this post. Can't make any promises about afterwards though.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnDeereJack Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I always do bits of 'F**k Her Gently' by Tenacious D. It totally annoys our singer and she tries to stop me singing it without fail! I'm just a big bairn at heart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
