Trying to take long distance classical voice lessons and not getting good enough sound quality. I understand this is not pro-level gear. so you may not be familiar with the models. I spent about $1500 total for 2 sets (one for me & one for the teacher). About to return the mics and interfaces. Would greatly appreciate recommendations on what to get. Need to keep the budget under 2,000 - 3000 for the combined setups..

 

The Goal

  • Conduct classical voice lessons via teleconferencing e.g., Zoom, GoToMeeting. 
  • Need natural sound that has sufficient quality for teacher to be able to guide me in vocal production
  • Teacher will have identical gear so I can hear him well, too

The Room:

  •  15' x 23' with 8' ceiling
  • Wood floor, some glaas, some brick (fairly live)

The Gear

  • Microphone - AKG C214 Cardiod Condenser w/ stand
  • Interface - PreSonus Audiobox USB-96
  • Headphones - Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro
  • Garage Band with no reverb, or effects of any kind. 
  • Mic distance - varied from 6" to 6" & varied gain, accordingly, but nothing helps

The Results

  • Dry sound that doesn't have any of the room in it. Almost sounds like i'm in a studio
  • Doesn't have sufficient quality for the teacher to be able to guide me vocal production.
  • None of the squillo or ring is captured.

Recommendations?
