[Brian Reynolds] “What sort of mic are you using?
How far would you normally position the microphone away from the talents mouth?
What are you using for a boom pole?”
Well, I have the Rode Mono Videomic. I would normally position the mic as close to the talent as possible without being in the frame. And I would normally tell them to point it at the HEART.
And I just use a DIY Boompole (painter’s pole= very effective).
