down to the lowly RE-20 which is probably the most useful vocal mike made.

So my buddy's auditioning for this VO, and it's a cattle call. When he get
in the studio, he see's they're using an an RE-20, but THE DIAPHRAM IS
FACING THE FLOOR, and everyone is talking in the side of the mic! This is a
big NYC Ad agency too! So, he then reset the mic the "right way", and got
the gig. All those other guys were so "muffled", hmmm.
This is a true story.
Why?
Because you can't make up stuff this stupid!

When we first got the RE-20 replacing the 421Ls, everyone wanted to do
this because it gave them that huge bass boost. They'd talk into the
side of it, or even into the rear vents. And you could hardly understand
a word when they talked into the rear vents.

I can see turning them sideways and talking over them if you are a P-popper,
but talking into the side seems like a really bad idea.
