Match Technique to Mic

Each mic type rewards a different habit:

• Handheld dynamic (like the SM58) — forgiving and built for close work, so placing it near your mouth is safe
• Lapel — clip it at chest height, centered
• Podium condenser — sensitive enough to catch every breath and paper rustle, so position it to stand naturally without leaning

Adjust the mic to you, not yourself to the mic. That keeps your posture relaxed.
