Is it really necessary to fellate the microphone?
You often see people singing with their mouth practically on the microphone. Is that really necessary? Why can't they make a microphone that will work maybe six inches from your mouth?
No. No, it's not. And it's probably annoying the piss out of the engineer too.
There is something to it though, as bringing the source closer to a directional mic gives the effect of more fullness to the voice. Vocalists who know what they're doing can use this proximity effect to good result. Vocalists who don't, just annoy people.

Weird, I wonder how it came about that some people started doing it all the time?
