Cheryl, that's entirely too funny.
As I said, I know it's necessary, but in general, the more
professional the reader, the less breath you hear while they're
reading. I don't know how the recording studios handle it, but I do
know there are readers I never hear take a breath, and others you
hear everytime they swallow.
I'm sure some of it is the equipment used, and some of it will be the
reader, and still part of it will be the physical design of the
recording studio. If you're lips are a fraction of an inch from the
mike, you're going to hear a lot more, but if you're sitting a foot
or two away, that obviously won't be the case. It just irritates me,
that's all.
