Can't put everybody in the same bucket.
We have a gal in out private Karaoke club who is not comfortable raising her voice. Even when she speaks it is in a soft spoken manner. To compound the problem, she does not like to hold the mike too close to her lips. It was very difficult for her to be heard when singing duets or group songs, and required a lot of mixing and volume when doing solos. She was becoming reluctant to perform, and the heck of it is she has the best female voice in our group.
We taught her to "cup" the mike, and it solved the problem for all concerned.
She's happy and willing to perform, the rest of us get to enjoy hearing her, and my job is easier.
