KuruPrionz Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 See this thread... https://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/3027793/mics-you-i-own-whats-good#Post3027793 I am preparing to test my mics by singing and seeing what results I get. We've all experienced plosives and sibilence. There are ways to alleviate these, most common is to back away from the mic. My recording space is subject to uncontrollable external noise so being closer does provide a better signal to noise ratio. I plan to sing these in at least a couple of octaves. This is something I can post freely online and not worry about copyright or giving away my original songs. My intent is to condense. I've chosen the following words as part of "worst case scenario". I'd love suggestions to add other words that could cause problems. Thanks!!!!

Dr Mike Metlay Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 "Peter Piper Picked A Peck Of Pickled Plosives." "The Sixth Sick Sheik's Sixth Sheep's Sick With Sibilance." They not only test your mic but they're good practice for vocal agility.
