Recording vocals in a closet can be an effective and simple way to improve the sound quality of your vocal recordings. Closets often have a small, enclosed space with clothes and other soft materials that absorb sound, reducing echo and background noise. This makes them suitable for vocal recording sessions. However, the results may not be as good as using a professional vocal booth or a specially designed acoustic room.
To make the most out of a closet for vocal recording, follow these tips:
1. Remove hangers: Metal hangers can cause an unwanted metallic ringing sound, so remove them if possible.
2. Choose a corner: Press your body against the corner to reduce the distance between your mouth and the walls, making the sound more controlled.
3. Keep the door closed: Closing the door helps prevent outside noise from entering your “makeshift” recording booth.
4. Drape blankets: Hang blank -

The best type of microphone is subjective and depends on the use case. However, studio-quality condenser microphones, such as the Neumann U 87 or AKG C414, are widely regarded as some of the best general-purpose microphones due to their excellent sound quality, detail, and accuracy. For more specialized use cases, other microphone types might be more appropriate. For instance, dynamic microphones, like the Shure SM7B, are often preferred for loud, heavy vocals, while ribbon microphones, such as the Royer R-121, can offer a unique warm and smooth sound for particular recording situations.

There could be several reasons why you might be struggling with singing. Here are some common ones:
1. **Technique**: You might not be using the correct singing technique. This includes proper breathing, posture, and phonation. Bad habits like singing from the throat instead of the diaphragm can significantly impact your singing ability.
2. **Pitch Control**: Inability to hit the right notes consistently can make singing difficult. This is often a matter of practice and training your ear to recognize pitch.
3. **Vocal Range**: Everyone’s voice has a certain range they’re comfortable in. If you’re trying to sing notes that are too high or too low for your voice, it can sound strained or off-key.
4. **Tone**: Each person’s voice has a unique tone and timbre. Some voices naturally blend better with certain types of music than others.

Yes, a bad singer can become good with training and practice. Vocal lessons from a professional voice coach can help improve breathing, pitch, tone, and range. Additionally, consistent practice can help in gaining muscle memory and enhancing singing skills. It’s also important to take care of one’s vocal health by drinking plenty of water and getting enough rest.
