Singer having difficult with microphones
Post Body

Hi, I’m a female singer having difficulty with microphones and sound engineering my voice.

I currently have a rode NT2A and have been working on a song with it. However, when I sing with more power/ belt, i notice some very obvious ringing sounds. This is around the 1800 area, but as I sweep the EQ around this area there are quite a few instances which produce very obvious ringing frequencies.

What is going on? It can’t be normal to have to EQ almost the entire top end of my voice out. Is the microphone not suited to my voice? It doesn’t make sense because I can’t hear these frequencies so prominently when I sing. Could it be because I am singing with a lot of volume/ pressure? Is it to do with spl?

For reference, a signer that I sound/ sing a little like might be Ariana grande. I have a powerful belting voice.

I even spoke to a friend of mine who said something about the U47 for a Ariana Grande like singer, I know that is a very expensive microphone, that I can’t really afford (😂) … the thing is I know that mic is a dynamic mic and I know they usually handle higher SPL better ? Im extremely confused honestly and would really appreciate some guidance ! :( starting to think maybe my voice is just bad for recording or something!
