>>27519567>But you told me she'd dig her heels in and never take advice on her audio setup?nta, but wasn't the prevalent opinion not about her not changing her technical setup, but that she'd never change the "chicken voice" (as she, in her japan-brainrot mind, thinks it's "cute", is part of the genki character she wants to portray, and by now has become a point of stubborn pride for her that changing it would feel like "admitting defeat" to the "haters" that they were right all along, so she rides this out until she has fucked up her throat so much that she medically can't do the voice anymore instead of just dropping it)?
The technical setup (mic, interface, settings) doesn't even need complicated fixes, even a simple pop-filter in front of the mic would do wonders. It would take the edge of harsh plosives that sometimes cause crispy crackling at the start of sentences, and the enforced distance would lessen overall saturation. (that she's sitting hunched over and too close to the mic is obvious to anyone who listens, and if there was any doubt that she's almost "eating" the mic, she sometimes says herself she gets cat hairs from the mic into her mouth, you can guess how they got there, indicating she's too close). A pop filter costs less than 10 dollars and is a simple device that can be installed by any retard.
The other, actual "technical" stuff (like turning off, or at least down, the compression settings, and applying some eq to take the edge off the higher frequencies) that are maybe way over her head are important too, but the pop-filter plus enforced mic distance as simple first order of business would do the most to improving her sound
