I always wondered why old-timey radio DJs all talked with the same inflection and same accent, yet no one these days talks the way they did. It was a very specific vocal inflection that was the signature of old-time radio and for the life of me, I could never figure out why they talked like they did. While these days that old-timey radio voice is hard to find on any modern station, you can pretend that you have a voice... Continue reading

Look, you weren’t totally denied at the American Idol tryouts because you were an awesome singer. In fact, you’re likely terrible, or generic at best.

Here’s a great way to eavesdrop on an unknowing sap’s conversation. Objects in Flux’s Scott Mitchell has turned a vintage lamp into a parabolic microphone for recording. It’s got volume control and a headphone socket mounted in the lamps base. This way, no one other than the headphone wearer gets to hear the goods. And by goods I mean the sound of your roommate banging away the night. The whole project is powered by a 9V battery, which is fitted... Continue reading

If you have a job where interviewing is as common as an Obama “Hope” ad campaign and you just so happen to always have your laptop on you, you might find the Narae Recorder Mini right up your alley. Finally, a reason to get rid of that old digital recorder you’ve never used (unless it also does video.) The Narae Recorder Mini is insanely small.

Many companies claim to have the “smallest” bluetooth headset, but this Bluetooth device concept puts the pill in Pillete. With its pill-like design (and not much bigger than a pill either), the Pillete uses a high-performance microphone to maintain optimal voice quality in an extremely compact size. The device comes in a pill that is enabled to work when it is folded into a “L” shaped ear bud. It also looks pretty. Always a plus. — Andrew Dobrow Link

The upcoming release from the super popular soundtrack is High School Musical. Much like its affinity for getting children interested in musicals, the game also plans to break ground on the Wii battleground. High School Musical will ship with a microphone for the moments in the game where you will need to sing your heart out,... Continue reading
