Pretty interesting. This bit caught my attention because I have this problem. My last two songs have been with my new condescend mic and I'm still getting use to it. I need a pop stopper for sure and it picks up sounds if I handle it while singing. So I might try what he does.

"Some singers must physically hold the mic to “produce” their vocal sound because they are used to working it during live shows.

I’ve tried to let them sing their vocal that way if there is no handling noise and minimal P-popping. I’ve sometimes given the singer a handheld dynamic mic while standing in front of stand-mounted condenser mic. I would record both mics to two tracks and later go between them in the mix.
