Abstract
This chapter discusses the interconnection between voice of the singer and the microphone. Since the introduction of the microphone and electrical recording, it has become possible to make records of any voice; but the best voices still make the best records, provided that the possessor of the good voice is able to infuse personality into singing. The microphone is like a powerful lens on a camera—it shows up all our technical faults remorselessly; that is why there will always be a market for the artist–singer, whatever developments in mechanical reproduction the future holds in store. The microphone can be, and is, a great help to a singer in that it clean up the technique. Although platform tricks are of no assistance in microphone work, either recording or broadcasting, the performance must not become dull and lifeless on account of the absence of a visible audience. A healthy singer should steer clear of drugs especially if he or she wishes to make a successful career.
