When we talk about sibilance in the audio world, it's usually in a negative way. Without sibilance, we wouldn't be able to speak (or sing) this sentence. Try saying “sentences starting and stopping with sibilances” as a silly example.
In English, sibilance happens on the consonant sounds of S, Z, Sh, and Zh (as is “leisure” – lei-zh-ure).Īs we'd expect, sibilance is a necessary part of speech intelligibility. Phonetic sibilance is a vocal formant known as “fricative consonant,” in which the tip or blade of the tongue is brought up near the teeth or palette, and air is pushed past the tongue. In this article, we'll describe sibilance in greater detail and then run through the 7 methods to reduce sibilance in our microphones and our mixes. The first 4 have to do with the microphone and performance, while the last 3 can help to reduce sibilance in recorded audio signals and mixes
Speech and vocal intelligibility are important, but so is a great sounding mix! Sibilance is a natural and necessary part of human speech but can be a distracting nuisance in microphone signals and audio mixes.
