Guest Repositioned Her Headset Mic Halfway Through…
A recent guest repositioned her headset mic halfway through the episode and that changed the sound drastically.
In post-production, in order to match her first half sound to her second half sound, I split her recording and put each half on its own track so I could process each separately to match their different levels and tones and sibilance reduction, etc.
It worked out well, though of course it added a substantial amount of time to my post-production.

Good idea.
It gets more difficult if they move the mic several times, or tap the mic arm. Worse is wind noise from their nose.
I usually start by telling them to put the mic arm in line with their jaw line, get them to talk and tell them not to touch.
Sometimes they listen.
