The key to a successful recording session lies in mic placement. Selecting the appropriate microphones and positioning them accurately on the talent can greatly enhance the quality of the final audiovisual product.

​

We've created a simple guide to follow whenever we need to position a microphone, ensuring the process is done correctly every time.

​

1. Before we begin, we'll explain to the talent what we're about to do. Then, we'll ask for their approval before proceeding.

​

2. If possible, this process will involve another person's assistance, typically either the set costumer or the makeup artist. They'll be there to help ensure everything goes smoothly.

​

3. Whenever practicable, we'll opt to avoid placing the mic directly on the skin or hair. Our first choice will always be to secure it onto clothing.

​

4. When working with underage talents, their parents or legal guardians will handle mic placement. We'll explain the process to them and inform the production department of any additional time needed.
