Sound check in this sequence will enable you to hear how you sound when you're basically singing with your band. Also ask the sound gear technicians for a monitor to be placed in front of you so you can hear yourself sing.
If you can get your hands on 2 sound monitor earpiece, that might be better because this will give you additional space to prance around and entertain your audience and fans. The best way to sound check the singer's microphone? Your singing voice when produced by the mic should be louder and above the sounds produced by the band so that your voice can carry the tracks well and able to portray your feel, song interpretation and feelings obviously.
Occasionally, this can cause loud feed backs ( that loud piercing screeching sound produced by the mic ) so much so that your sound technician or yourself must know where the maximum volume can be before the annoying screeching feedback occurs. In the crescendo parts of songs, move away from the mike so that you don't trigger feedback and move back in again in the softer part of the tunes. By doing this, you are not only in a position to control feed backs, you'll also not irritate delicate audience who may not enjoy loud singing. When you are singing loudly into the mic, these consonants may result in explosive pop pop sounds on the mike.
If you think 'M ', you'll be in a position to stop 'please ' and 'baby ' exploding out of the speakers.
The final sound check At the end of the sound check session, you and your band must run through two songs. This is done not only because you need to see whether the sound is good from the crowd viewpoint but also whether all of your band members can hear themselves, the band in total and sound from their monitors.
