Don,

Any time you have heard me it has been with the Heil Gold Line desk mic 
on a boom.   My voice is pretty deep, and if I don't set the EQ to one 
of the high boost settings, it sounds like I am down in the basement.

I really have a tin ear when it comes to this stuff.

As for articulation, I'm not very articulate, so you have to make 
allowances.
