Check out this tutorial created by OStateTV, and read more about this project below!

"Using MERV 13 filters, we have endeavored to increase the effectiveness of the Singer's Mask made by the Broadway Relief Project for filtering aerosols and droplets in response to COVID-19. Using current research and best practices, this modification can hopefully continue to keep singers safer from infection during the pandemic.
