A bit of advice with the "acorn" microphone: if you want to remove that nasty resonant frequency that tarnishes the sound a bit (I would call it a bit of hollow sound, but everyone will have different descriptors), you could pack all the void space of the toy capsule with cotton balls to stop the shell of the capsule from vibrating.

people always complain when a youtuber has poor mic quality but i think that most of the time it adds a charm to the video and a degree of relatability
@yvendous11 сағат бұрын
Yeah I agree, only half the time the poor microphone is actually tough to listen to

We had a rotary phone at my house until 2006. 😅 my mom loved it so much, and I used one until adulthood. She still keeps it in the living room but it no longer has a connection, just uses it for aesthetic. Hearing this made me feel oddly nostalgic from when i used to call up my friends. Very cool video.
@0therun1t213 сағат бұрын
I haven't heard you sing yet, but don't worry if you aren't the very best, your speaking voice is GOLD! It's so relaxing and soft with a slightly roughened texture , like a long furred kitty cat who never draws blood with their claws but lets you know they have them and could. I just love it!

I did the same thing about 30 years ago as a kid after hearing the Was Not Was song "Hello Dad, I'm In Jail"...and somehow figured out the part where you have to talk into the earpiece (not the mouthpiece). Still have it. Sounds wild plugged into a guitar amp/effects.

We have some old house phones that we bought because we liked the look of them. Especially my old Micky Mouse touchtone phone. What I always wanted to do with them was rig up some sort of house phone intercom system. Where you could have a cool phone in each room of the house, and if you knew the number to the room you wanted to call, you could just dial room to room.

Honestly a great (and more importantly cheap) way to recreate old sounds, doing so with digital editing can make it feel wrong and it's especially hard to understand for those who are trying to make things look and sound old but have never interacted with them before.
