We have been enhancing our student singers in opera for quite a few
years. It has been very helpful to the singers (we boost the 2-3 khz
range and the 7-8 khz range) as well as to the orchestra which can now
play more freely. In using undergraduate singers in a 2000 seat hall
with orchestra, we find it more vocally prudent to enhance, as well as
giving a better experience to the audience. When you carefully boost
those limited frequency ranges (using ambient mikes not body mikes) the
result doesn't sound amplified - only clearer and more intelligible.
