Hey all. I'm working on a poetry reading project with a girl who essentially whispers all the time. I've tracked her with a UMT70S through a Grace 101 and Urei 1176, and though that's a pretty clean chain and I have a nice, quiet room, I'm still unhappy with the amount of hiss in the track.

I realize it's asking a lot to get an absolutely pristine voice with a completely exposed whisperer, but given this situation, what mic-pre-compressor (if necessary) combos would you recommend for the minimum possible amount of noise?
