My friend made a Flash movie and I am doing the voice acting for one of the characters. The character has one line, which has to be said very quickly, loudly and forcefully. Every time I say this line into my microphone and listen to it there is a little static "explosion" on the hard consonants. Short of getting a new microphone, what can I do to lessen this?

If you hold it out of the path of your mouth, over by your cheek but still close to your mouth, it might reduce or eliminate that loud sound.

zapreth answered Monday March 21 2005, 10:25 am: What you need is a popscreen in front of the mic to break the wind caused from your speech. You could probably rig a makeshift screen. This is a company that sells them. www.popfilter.com It should give you some ideas or at least a start in what you're looking for. Good Luck! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]
