Phil Ramone recorded P. Domingo, with a small dia mic from 10 feet away.

This is SOP for opera performers and other classically-trained folks,
in part because so much of the sound comes out of the chest rather
than just the mouth.

With a girl who sometimes is quiet and sometimes totally out of control,
it may work on the loud parts, but not the quiet ones.

That's why I suggested the dual mike pair, with close and distant mikes
and swapping between them when you comp the vocals.
