Leaning Back From the Mic When Laughing Loudly

One way to save listeners from getting their ears blown out is to lean back from your microphone when you laugh really loud.

This is an aspect of good microphone technique.

Yes, in post-production you can use compressors, etc. to help tame loud laughing, but compressors don’t completely tame loud outbursts and can also introduce other unwanted effects like pumping and breathing, etc.

Plus, developing good mic technique will serve you well in ALL recording scenarios regardless of microphone, Live situations vs. pre-recorded, streaming, appearances on other shows, etc.
