So, just recently in two theatres, I saw the sound crew take headset microphones, and tape them to the faces of the actors. (I think they were AKG. Something like the HC 577) They would put on the headset, and then they would take the mic arm that reaches out, and tape it down to the face. There were a few actors without tape on them and some with a lot, but the crew was doing it.
Weren't these microphones designed to stick out without having to be taped, and don't they sound better when used like that? Doesn't that ruin the acoustics, and look stupid while just making more pointless work?
Is there any good reason at all for doing this?
