Edmond Smith Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Hello all, hope life is treating you well or just starting to again, Some time ago I found a way to deal with chest hair, when it comes to lav-ing, but forgot... So! Does anyone have any tips they would like to share when it comes to curly, and or straight chest hair? The sound of hair noise is much worse than cloth noise in my ears. Thank you!

jozzafunk Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 But really I find an rm11 with tidy fresh moleskin reasonably good - I usually drop it a bit to sit lower than the nipples to get the gap ( depending on their build ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewest Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Get wardrobe to ensure he wears a vest or Tee shirt under his outer garment. The worst scenario is if a male actor shaves his chest! Then any garment movement produces a severe noise!!!!! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azw Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Over covers work well, sometimes. Put the fuzzy part against the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason porter Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Shaving the chest is great for the first day, the next day it is the WORST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonO Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Sometimes I use a strap around the chest, puting the mic between the strap and shirt. Sometimes I use an overcover with hair facing inwards toward the chest hair. Sometimes I make them shave and sometimes I say f'it and just boom. -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pverrando Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If the wearer is a chest-shaver, I like to stick a 4x5" pad of moleskin directly to the chest, centered behind the lav. It keeps the stubble away from my microphone, and gives the wearer a moment to consider their vanity when applying/removing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandering Ear Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Over covers, undershirts, basically whatever you can do to stabilize and seperate the chest hair from your mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristotle_kumpis Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I use alcohol swabs to take off the mic when it's on chest hair. By using the swab, the mic comes off with little hair loss. You can find them at any drug store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
