It's been my experience with contra dance that, in general and with some exceptions, I hear female caller's voices more easily than those of male callers. I've always attributed this to the timbre of many men's voices being closer to the background sound people talking and moving about. However, as I've recently been learning more about sound management I've realized that there are sometime other factors involved such as the sound mix and the type of microphone used. In particular, I've discovered that the Shure Beta 58A mic instead of the more common SM58 makes it easier for people to hear my baritone voice.
