Interview with Will Noon Artist in Brooklyn

Tell us about yourself ? 

Hey world Will Noon here. Not your everyday artist ! From the streets of Brooklyn, I, Will Noon, am the future of the industry. Being an elite level artist, elite artist manager, photographer, videographer and clothing designer, there are honestly no limits to what I’m willing to learn to help create opportunities for the future . I want to be able to help put people in a position to be productive and get money as opposed to being in streets or being in other bad situations. I know what it’s like to struggle and I would like to see a change in my community !

How long you been in performing arts ?

I began writing poetry from 2007-2008 , which quickly transitioned into writing raps and love songs in the early parts of 2009. I began managing my first artist as of 2017. I began Photography/Video back in 2013, and recently learned from the founders of @Turkeynecknyc and @700weirdos how to design clothing and started my line @Pickasideklothing247 .

What was most attractive part for you to be in this industry ?

Poetry and music were my only releases in terms of venting . Although I know a lot of people, I’m very particular about venting to people so I would rather find creative ways to say it on songs without specifying what I’m referring to.

Share some experiences ( good or bad ) any that made you grow in life or profession ?

Originally dropping Highs and Lows album in 2019, I was close to giving up music after receiving little to no traction on his project so a year later for Misery Lives Kompany , I came back with a new sound, quality, and some notable features such as Netflix Star Jaden Jordan from the show Grand Army, and now is quickly gathering streams and slowly but surely rising to stardom.

Who inspired you ? How do you work on creating your own signature style ?

My inspirations growing up were Blackstreet, T-Pain, Drake, Lil Wayne, like I respected the artists who took time into being lyrical and simultaneously making music that genuinely sounded good. So when it came to making my own music, I was always adamant about making it sound good but always maintaining lyrics with substance and meaning.

What do you want to convey through your music?

I would love to have people relate and look at my journey as proof that pain and struggle is temporary and that the sky isn’t the limit, there is none.

Story behind making of your new track / Album? ( idea of making , some interesting inspirational facts to share)

Misery Loves Kompany, is an album that was fueled by a really bad break up in which I decided to paint the picture of all the things she did and explain to her how her timing couldnt have been worse for her. The name is also the reason I have 12 features on my 15 track album . I wanted to share my story, pain and platform with friends who also could relate to some of the situations I endured as an artist.

Any interesting trivia about making of song ?

The names explain the songs and Me, and the outro “Wild Dumb” has references to all the other tracks in different lines. Trust Will Noon is probably the most interesting artist ever.

People who you would like to thank ?

I would love to thank my producer/engineer @Jyjwlz, this man was there with me for some sessions from 2pm to 8am, no rest in between straight working .

People who you would like to work with and people you idolize to be like professionally ?

I would honestly love to make tracks with some of the lovely female R&B artists, like H.E.R. , Sza, Jhene Aiko, Summer Walker and if there’s a rapper I’d like to work with it would be J Cole or Drake.

Where do you see your music 3 years from now ?

3 years from now I see my music being played in NBA Arenas, radios in every city, and I expect atleast one music award before the next 3 years. I plan to obtain lots of accolades , in due time .

How would you like to stretch your boundaries of genre in future projects ?

In the future I definitely plan to release a lot more styles of music, so that I can’t be placed in a single category sonically. I would like to be recognized as the most creative artist of all time!

Message for Fans and listeners

I would love to say again the sky isn’t the limit, your mentality is. Whatever you say you can do, you really can do, don’t let that go over your head !

Understanding Podcasting Microphones: An In-Depth Guide for Beginners and Professionals

Types of Podcasting Microphones

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones are the most popular choice for podcasting. They convert sound into electrical signals using a diaphragm, coil, and magnet. These microphones are robust, can handle high sound pressure levels, and require less gain than other types. This makes them excellent for capturing voices in less-than-ideal acoustic environments. The Shure SM7B and the Electro-Voice RE20 are industry standards among podcasters.

Condenser Microphones

Condenser microphones are sensitive and tend to capture a wider frequency range compared to dynamic microphones. They require phantom power to operate and are ideal for capturing subtle vocal nuances, making them great for voice work in studios. Notable condenser microphones include the Audio-Technica AT2020 and the Rode NT1-A, both widely admired for their clarity and depth.

Lavalier Microphones

Lavalier microphones, or lapel mics, are small, clip-on devices ideal for interviews and on-the-go recording. They ensure hands-free operations and are particularly useful for video podcasts. Wireless options add flexibility, allowing hosts to move freely during recordings. Popular choices include the Rode SmartLav+ and the Sennheiser ME 2-II.

USB Microphones

For those looking for simplicity and convenience, USB microphones are perfect. They connect directly to a computer without the need for additional equipment. While they may not deliver the same quality as XLR microphones, models like the Blue Yeti and the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB are excellent for beginners and home podcasters.

Important Features of Podcast Microphones

Frequency Response

Frequency response defines how a microphone reacts to different sound frequencies. Most voices fall within the 80Hz to 15kHz range, so a good podcasting microphone should adequately capture this spectrum. A flat frequency response is usually preferable, allowing for a more natural sound.

Polar Patterns

The polar pattern of a microphone determines its sensitivity in various directions. The most commonly used patterns are:

  • Cardioid: Ideal for podcasting as it captures sound from the front while minimizing background noise.
  • Omnidirectional: Captures sound from all directions, useful for roundtable discussions but picks up more ambient noise.
  • Bidirectional: Captures sound from the front and rear, suitable for interviews between two people.

Sensitivity and Sound Pressure Level (SPL)

Sensitivity measures how effectively a microphone converts sound into an electrical signal. A higher sensitivity microphone captures softer sounds without requiring additional gain. Sound pressure level (SPL) measures how loud of a sound the microphone can handle without distortion. Choosing a mic with appropriate SPL ratings is crucial, especially in louder environments.

Essential Accessories for Podcasting Microphones

Pop Filters

Pop filters reduce plosive sounds (like “p” and “b” sounds) that can cause distortion. They are typically made of a screen or foam, which diffuses rapidly moving air before it hits the microphone diaphragm.

Microphone Stands and Boom Arms

Proper positioning is critical for optimal audio capture. Microphone stands and boom arms allow podcasters to adjust their microphone’s position easily while keeping hands free for notes or gestures.

Shock Mounts

Shock mounts prevent vibrations and handling noise from reaching the microphone, ensuring cleaner recordings. They are especially useful when recording in less controlled environments.

Audio Interfaces

For those using XLR microphones, an audio interface is necessary to convert the analog signal into digital for your computer. Popular models include the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and the PreSonus AudioBox USB, which provide excellent sound quality and ease of use.

Tips for Choosing the Right Microphone

Define Your Needs

Consider your podcasting style. Are you recording solo, interviews, or panel discussions? The type of conversations you have will dictate your microphone choice.

Budget Considerations

While it’s easy to get carried away with high-end equipment, plenty of budget-friendly microphones offer excellent quality. Determine a budget that allows for good quality without breaking the bank.

Test Before You Buy

Whenever possible, test microphones in-store to find the sound that best suits your voice. Listening to the audio capture can significantly influence your decision.

Read Reviews and Watch Tutorials

Before investing, check online reviews and tutorials. Many YouTube channels offer in-depth sound tests and comparisons to help you make informed choices.

Maintenance and Care for Podcasting Microphones

To extend the lifespan of your microphone, regular maintenance is vital. Here are some key maintenance tips:

  • Keep it Clean: Dust and saliva can accumulate and affect sound quality. Use a soft cloth to wipe down your microphone regularly.
  • Use Windscreens: For outdoor recording, use a windscreen to prevent wind interference and protect the mic from moisture.
  • Store Properly: When not in use, store your microphone in a protective case to prevent physical damage.

Enhancing Your Podcasting Experience

Investing in a good microphone is just the beginning. To fully get the most out of your podcasting experience, include thorough planning, effective editing software, and quality recording space. An acoustically treated room, for example, can significantly reduce background noise and enhance vocal clarity.

Understanding the nuances of podcasting microphones will empower you to make informed decisions that improve your production quality. Armed with the right microphone and accessories, you can deliver a rich audio experience, engage your audience, and elevate your podcasting journey to new heights.

From the BalleBalleRadio Entertainment Desk

Manoj Bajpayee, a celebrated actor known for his powerful performances, has recently voiced his concerns regarding the pervasive influence of PR machinery within Bollywood. Bajpayee argues that the industry’s increasing focus on public relations often overshadows genuine acting talent, leading to a skewed perception of success and merit.

Bajpayee’s comments come amidst ongoing debates about the phenomenon of ‘National Crush’ titles and the superficiality of fame. He suggests that such manufactured hype can be detrimental to the careers of trained actors who dedicate themselves to the craft, but may not possess the resources or inclination for extensive self-promotion.

He emphasized the importance of acting prowess over PR stunts, highlighting the potential humiliation faced by actors who have honed their skills through rigorous training, only to be sidelined by individuals prioritizing media visibility. Bajpayee’s own career, alongside that of fellow actor Piyush Mishra, serves as an example of sustained success built on consistent, quality performances rather than fleeting PR campaigns.
