I have enjoyed all your videos. Looking forward to more.
I have these Equipments for Live performance -
1. Fender Acoustic 100 - 100-watt Acoustic Amp
2. Boss RC-30 Loop Station
3. Yamaha Acoustic guitar
4. 2 Mics (1 is Sennheiser and other is Behringer Ultravoice Xm8500 Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Cardioid)
I need some advice on what settings should I set in the Amp, looper, and Guitar for best live sounds.
Any advice on getting some more instruments for enhancing the sound quality?
I like to play Ed-Sheeran songs and would really appreciate any tips.
Your tips on brand names is one of the most important commants you mentioned.This will simplify my search for the right mic for us. Thank you.
I feel the integrity in this gent.
The excessive and incorrect use of apostrophe is doing my head in!
thanks justin roiland
Men this video is a Gem .. I feel like a million bucks after watching this .. This is a classic …
So, there is no front (logo) or back on this mic? Whichever side I hold, it will still form the 'super cardioid' figure?
Hey Doc, thanks for the tips, very helpful.
Thank you for this great info, Dann. Wish you all the best.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video D-Alpha Muszic. Thanks for watching.
Ohh Dr.Dan why a lot of voice teachers has different teachings regarding on how to use microphone? Some of them said always eat ur microphone when singing at keep distance a little bit when SINging high.. anyway honestly, I did what u said in this video long time ago and untill now in my singing live..
I'd never use supercardioid in a live setting, only cardioids. The stage wedges would induce too much feedback and they require really good handling skills from the user, types of which most of us don't have the luxyry to do business with...
U are 100% right!!!
I cant hear my voice from mic when im singing with group....
If you cannot answer, you do not have to answer.
If my voice is low and mostly bass, should I move away from the microphone?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as it depends on your specific microphone and recording setup. Being too close to the microphone can cause a "proximity effect," leading to distortion and boomy sounds in bass voices. It's essential to experiment with different distances and positions to find the sweet spot that works best for your voice and equipment.
Yes I subscribed right Away lol
Thanks for the tips dr dan. I have a performance tommorow. Wish me goodluck.
Good luck!
Thanks Dr. Dan,I found out that when I went to an open Mic at the Zodiac Venue.I was to far away from the Mic and I recorded it on my phone and the sound was terrible.
Awesome advice, very helpful for this line of work
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Taylor Mitchell. Thanks for watching.
You always amaze me with your videos, short and easy to understand, thanks a lot ! ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed the video BIRDSETFREE. Thanks for watching.
How you define the difference in "flat response" and "acoustically responsive". My experience is that the cardiod dynamic works better with male closeup, while the condenser has a wider response that can be tailored to male, female, and instrumental use. Excellent recommendations!
Cup the mic and do a gutteral
Very detailed. Thanks! And omg you look like Edward Norton!
You're welcome Katharina Huang. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tips! I've got a promotion performance tomorrow and it's pivotal I know how to sing into a mic properly.
How did it go, six years Later ?
@@coldhardtruth333 I was an octave higher than I needed to be from the nerves, but I sang into the mic correctly at least 👍
COMPLIMENTS AND THANK YOU. BEST WISHES TO HAPPY 2021.
Same to you!
Great. There are various distances from the mike if you are a very dynamic singer. Also depending on the sensitivity of the mike. Also, some singers could have 2 mikes if their budgets allow for it. For example, my Neumann can be too sensitive and feedback or recieve too much background noise in some live situations, so I always bring my Shure beta 58 that's easier to eq.
Irene, please remember that this is for beginner singers...yes, there will be variance once you get into using mics more.
@@DrDanRobinson your videos have become a must for me and my teaching and I highly recommend them
great vid, but has anyone ever told you you look like Justin Roiland?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Jackson Langford. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much doc, your videos help me a lot 😊😊
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Psycho Musician. Thanks for watching.
Sm58 is the best mic on the planet for any vocal performance
@Nelson Giles I have and they are sure also, as the sure 57 is great for percussion.
Cheers 😊
Ive been singing since I was 8 years old, and have never had an issue singing on a mic. But lately, I have taken some lessons that has made my voice project differently. Im hitting notes without having to use so much breath or effort. And I have noticed when I sing on the mic I sound horrible, because I feel like my projection is too loud or too strong. But when I try to calm my voice down (so to speak) it only makes it worse. Yet without the mic I sound awesome. I'm affraid to sing kareoke anymore. Im scared, cuz Im working on my first mixed tape, and am due for studio time soon.
If anyone can give me suggestions or advice on what my issue may be and how to remedy it, I would truly appreciate it.
Hi, RuVonne Hills. You may find my online singing course helpful - drdan.co/onlinesinginglessons. Feel free to check it out sometime. The first module is free to preview!
@@DrDanRobinson a shameless plug there. This person wants a little advice, I'm sure they're a perfectly proficient singer. They want tips on mic controll
How do you set GAIN for singing? Cuz obviously they say to make it go MAX ( when singing loudest note 10db and when normal singing 18db.... is that exactly right or no?
how is that possible because you can’t exactly sing always making it stay in between them sooo......
Should I sing loudest note and set it by that
OR
sing my normal loudness and set it by that
Marcofine
questions....I have a large deep church like voice and have found a unidirectional mic works best. Also ....unless I bring my own 55 mic most venues have a mic I have to hold out a foot or more away from my mouth. Can you tell me what I should ask the sound crew to do to help a voice like mine be mic-ed properly.
You just need to ask them to turn down the volume on your mic feed. That should be done during the mic check before the show. Bust out your loudest note and let the sound tech adjust the volume. Technically, they should even be able to do that during your performance if they're paying attention.
exceeded my expectations~
I’m so confused, people are saying to keep it further away from your mouth. Especially when you hit high notes but you’re saying to keep it close
This video is aimed at absolute beginners. Ultimately, you will vary the distance based on dynamics and desired effect.
thank you
What's the thumbnail from
👏👏👏🎙️🎤🎙️👏👏👏
Dan for a coffeeshop. Dark voice with volume but singing very soft. Guitar Martin D18. Best mic in your opinion?
Hard to say. The mic often chooses the singer. You could look at the SHURE Beta58 or brand equivalents.
Thanks for this video!
Glad it was helpful!

There are limits to what an online, self-paced learning environment can do for you. But I think you will find that my learning pathway is relatively safe.
