Looking for some help

[ericcoleman]

In recent shows a friend has said that she has had problems understanding me. My words are the most important part of what I do so this worries me. I think that this is a problem with the sound mix, not me, but I want to make sure. So, when you have seen me perform with a sound system can you understand my words?

Proper enunciation when you're singing takes work, especially in your songs because they're wordy (not that that's bad, it's just the way they are). If you want some exercises, I can get some for you.

I keep picturing Phil Silvers helping out your enunciation. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I've never had a problem understanding you, though to be fair most of the time I'm listening through headphones.

ok. voted.

now...i've almost got a stake in this poll, and in the comment from your friend. having run sound for you before.

When I ran your sound...which was the only time so far I have had the pleasure of hearing you and laughing and giggling and clapping for you...I understood every blessed word.

I am grateful if I've stumbled on the trick to making people understandable, as opposed to not, when I run sound.

I honestly can't remember having ever had a problem understanding you. Of course I saw you perform all the songs from the CD before I heard it, and I read lips pretty well, and I memorize lyrics pretty quickly. So...
