Instead of looking for EQ measures, replace the mic with a headworn mic. But first, try this experiment. Wear the pastors mic in it’s usually position, and at the normal sound level. Record the result.
Now, hold the mic off your cheek around the front of the cheekbone, and reset the mic level for the same sound level you normally use, and record the result.
Compare the two recordings. I believe you will hear the answer.
