Rachel Tucker- Defying Gravity - West End Live Sound check

[@joepat282]

That girl is amazing. Casually telling the sound guy to skip forward and immediately being able to belt out some of the final riffs like they are nothing.

From 1:22 to the end is a great example of cheating the microphone, and makes me appreciate Rachel Tucker even more. The cheat is at 1:36

What do you mean 'cheating the microphone'?

[@drumset09]

@@ItsRickLopez It's a term used to describe when a singer pulls the microphone away (or they step back if it's on a stand) for higher notes, or notes with more dynamics, or both. As a live sound technician, I can say most techs appreciate it when singers cheat. It makes the overall sound quality better for reasons best looked up and explained by someone more qualified than I.
