In Joe Filisko's last workshop (in Germany, it was great!) he advised to NOT
play IN the mic, but play it NEXT to the mic (my words, it is hard to
explain in words). Imagine the mic is pointing at your right cheekbone (if
you hold the harp in the left hand). The piece of the harp that is sticking
out the right side of your hands is pointing at the mic.

Have fun!

 Hey all,

 

 Everytime I play out at a gig every thing is fine, but my acoustic to mic
techinque sounds weak, Hand Wahs & such don't seem to be loud enough unless

I'm slobbering all over the Shure 57 vocal mic & then one can not project
hand wahs.  I also gave up on using a glass/coffee cup.

  Any input from our panel of experts?

 

Thanks all,

James Day
