Plop, Pancake, Pizza, Poke, Pan, Pop....
Say that to yourself, the hard 'P' noise at the beginning of the word is called a 'Plosive. This is because it is a very loud low frequency noise at the beginning of the word, your human ape ears have gotten used to this, and you won't notice it often but compared to all noises you make in pronouncing a sentence, this will usually be the loudest, and your listeners don't necessarily need bleeding ears to enjoy your show.
It is however quite easy to mitigate plosives through three methods:
1. A pop shield, these have two layers of fine fabric close to each other that will reduce the amount of transmitted sound pressure, but not the frequency distribution or general vibration of the noise. You can make them from a crochet hoop and a pair of old tights!
2. A big mic muff, you can buy these for cheap of amazon, and so long as they are made out of a good kind of foam they will attenuate loud plosives admirably.
3. Complicated processing shit™, plosives are louder and bassier than their environment, often focused at 100Hz, if you are willing to mess around with multiband compressors, you can usually deal with them.
Don't.... it's not worth it.
