Microphone Mastery in Practice

Elevate your amplified speaking with these techniques:

• Test before you speak — always do a sound check. Find the right distance and volume before the audience arrives
• Reduce plosives — practice P, B, and T sounds slightly off-center to avoid popping the mic
• Use your inside voice — speak at conversational volume. The mic amplifies everything, including shouting
• Mind your breathing — turn away from the mic for deep breaths
