3 Steps to EQ a Breathy Vocal in a Small Room

Cut everything below 100Hz and reduce 300-400Hz by a few dB This removes foot thumps, HVAC rumble, and the muddy frequencies that cloud intimacy.

Gently boost a shelf at 4-5kHz by 3-4dB This highlights the breathy texture in the upper mids without overdoing it.

Notch out feedback with a narrow Q If feedback occurs, find the ringing frequency (typically 200-800Hz or 1-2kHz) and cut it precisely.
