# Microphone Placement

> You should be about 2 inches from the microphone for your regular volume and 4-6 inches for louder phrases/belting. Always be closer than 12 inches from your microphone.

### Pro Mic Technique

* Avoid moving the microphone during phrases. Set your distance, then maintain it.

* Sing straight into the microphone’s capsule. Don’t be angled.

* Don’t cover the microphone with your hand.

* Place a pop filter 1 inch from the mic to limit plosives

* Don't use an "eyeball" to avoid excessive isolation and overloaded mic capsules.

Don’t enclose your mic with a Kaotica Eyeball or similar.
