Capturing high-quality sound is an essential part of any film or media project, and it’s an area where even small adjustments can make a huge difference. Audio engineer Keth Sivakumar shares a key tip on booming, the art of using a boom mic to record audio clearly and naturally.
Keth’s approach to booming starts with one simple rule: “Aim for the mouth, hit for the chest.” By positioning the mic toward the actor’s mouth and adjusting it to pick up sound from the chest area, audio engineers can capture a rich, clear voice that brings scenes to life. This technique minimizes background noise, keeps the audio focused, and enhances the natural tones in the actor’s voice, making it a go-to for any production aiming for professional-level sound.
With years of experience in film audio, Keth has developed a knack for capturing sound that immerses audiences and elevates storytelling. At Muslim Media Hub, we’re thrilled to showcase the expertise of talented professionals like Keth, who play a vital role in bringing these stories to life.
