This Mike SIZZLES !!!!By career, I have received attention in the media
and referred to by my peers as one of the most
highly reknown hypnotists,hypnotherapists in the
field, but I have also been successful
in other endeavors, especially in the recorded
medium of spoken word, voice overs (cassettes,
cds, etc).
Over 25 years I've had the opportunity to work
with every kind of microphone imaginable .. from
the garden variety Radio Shack $25 dollar model
.... to the $5,000 dollar, industry
standard Neumans. If you are a vocalist, a professional
speaker or a voice over specialist, you are easily aware
of how a microphone can pick
up every undulating tone you can utter.
A microphone can
make you sound tinny and sterile or boxy.
It can bring out the richness or squash that vocal quality.
Now to me, a microphone is as important an instrument to
a vocalist as is a Stradivarious to a violin player ....
and if you think I'm about to rave over the RODE NTK
tube condenser, you're right.
This mike sizzles. It brings out nuances and richness
in a voice that has to be heard to be experienced.
There is a warmth that just reaches out and grabs
you, envelops you in the sound ... well ... don't take
my word for it. Head over to your local audio dealer
with a cassette player in hand and make a few test
recordings using a Rode NTK as well as other name
brands microphones and I'll bet you'll agree and easily
convince yourself those Australians downunder
were on to something when they made this product.
And try not to thank me too repeatedly. Just knowing
that others are taking advantage of a wonderful piece
of equipment that is priced extremely fairly is thanks
enough.
