TV actors need to learn to use lav mics (Lavaliere microphones). Fred and Toody both prefer Shure SM58 mics. On my guitar, they had me miked with about seven mics. They used customized instruments like "homemade boxes that had small mics fit in it". He had a basement with drums, mics, a piano, and a mixer. This dramatically reduces "bleeding" between the drum mics. After playing local open mics and gigs, Simpson returned to Sunday Valley. This has led to various boom mics and edges of props, etc. Vibe gave it four stars and The Source gave it four mics. I opened for him a couple times at these open mics. Performed a cappella, it included the band moving away from their mics to breathe in. He started performing stand-up at open mics at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. B continued performing at open mics and underground venues, to perfect his craft. Industry scouts will sometimes go to watch open mics. In 2018 he toured with Jeff Ross on the Bumping Mics Tour.
