Micing a person
Can someone offer tips on micing a person? Specifically, here are the questions.
If not trying to hide the mic: 1. On a guy who is wearing a suit, would you put the mic on his suit jacket or in the middle on the shirt? 2. What do you do with the dangling cable? 3. where do you attach the wireless transmitter? 4. On a girl wearing just a shirt, not button shurt just regular that goes all the way to her neck, where do you attach the mic? Thanks |

I'm not being sarcastic but.. It depends..
- Hiding or in plain sight? - Does the talent wear a tie? - One or more persons and how many mics ? - What brand/model of mics? - Walking and talking, sit down interview or other? I would suggest picking up some books. Start with 'Audio Bootcamp Field Guide' by our friend Ty Ford. |

you won't hear enough volume from the other one .. or am I missing something here? You might be better with a boomed overhead mic. Cheers. |

A boom mic just out of frame and/or the lav is also common.. on separate channels of course and not combined in post... use either or... having both on would create phasing issues when summed to mono. A small diaphragm hyper-cardioid condenser is a typical interior boom mic. |

Even if you warn them not to, it's natural human interaction. A way round this will be to record it in smaller sections, or am I missing something again. Cheers. |

Thanks Steve. That's exactly what I needed. I am using Sanken COS-11D mic, I think it should be good under a shirt.
What if a guy is wearing a sweater? |
