Good article! When I was first learning to produce some tutorials I knew sound was an important aspect but it was quite a lot to learn. This level of depth was good. I especially struggled with the advice of "just use your ears".
I also heard the advice of "point the microphone at the source, not the source at the microphone", so you kind of speak at a 45 degree past the microphone which definitely helped with pops.
If you ever get around to another one, would love a similar level of guide into a subtle EQ tune to improve sibilance etc.
Great work!
