Thank you that would be me I do have a strong voice. I guess that's the
price I must pay for having a big mouth. LOL
May the peace of God which passes all understanding gard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus.
God bless you!

Neville
This may sound a little crazy, I've used my wardrobe as a booth. I Open up
both the doors and put a small flat matress across the top. This creats a
pretty dry space for vocal work.
I would say that 4 to 5 inches is a little close.
I've been advised to have the pop shield about a hands width from the mic
and the singer to be, as already mentioned, about 8 or so inches further
back especially if they have a strong voice.
Be lucky
Ian
