What are the techniques for speaking with a microphone?

Microphones can amplify the volume, amplify strengths, and also magnify weaknesses and destroy timbre. Tips for speaking with a microphone include: controlling volume, controlling breathing frequency, and articulating clearly.

When using a microphone, the volume should be slightly controlled. This is the key to using the microphone well. When there are no special requirements for speech and emotion, the volume of the three vocal ranges, high, middle and low should be strived to be harmonious and unified.

All kinds of breathing are very sensitive when transmitted by the microphone, especially microphones with high sensitivity. Breathing gently will make louder sounds through the microphone.

When using a microphone to speak, you should pay attention to the clarity and accuracy of each word. The beginning of the word should not be too heavy, especially the words with a heavy spout. When encountering these words, you can fine-tune the microphone and move the back end of the microphone. It should be tilted up a little, at a 45-degree angle to the face, and the articulation should be loose.

Tips for holding the microphone:

1. Keep an appropriate distance of 10 to 15 centimeters (a good microphone is about a fist-width away; a bad one is about three finger-widths away).

2. Hold the upper or middle part of the microphone. Generally speaking, the handheld wireless microphone transmits and receives information at the lower end, so if you hold the upper end, the microphone transmission quality can be more stable. Be careful not to cover the microphone head. Not only will the sound be muffled, but feedback noise will easily occur.

3. Try to keep it facing the mouth. For older microphones, the sound pickup position is located at the top of the microphone, so when speaking into the microphone, try to raise the microphone as high as possible to let the sound "fill" from the top of the microphone.

4. Do not hold the microphone on top. This results in a less rounded sound.

5. Avoid placing the microphone facing the speaker. This will cause sound reverberation, resulting in poor sound quality.
