If possible, get the singer to hold still. Also try not to have the singer any
louder than necessary in their mix. If they are too loud they will have more of
a tendency to drastically alter volume and this makes your job later much
harder. This is an issue every engineer deals with and it helps to have as many
tricks in your arsenal as possible. Of course compressors can help but then you
have the artifacts from them. Better to correct the problem at the source if
you can.
