It might be. We do it so that younger voices can have performance opportunities. If the acoustics in a professional setting were VERY unfavorable I might do it but I would make sure that the enhancements were mentioned in the program. I view it in the same light as I do supertitles - better without, but occasionally circumstances and audiences might warrent it.
