Mic


Question Posted Friday March 30 2007, 4:20 pm

I'm doing a show at my high school & I'm getting a personal mic. Whenever I see I high school show I always hear them breathing really loud into their mics, and then they sing way to loud and it hurts my ears. I don't want to be like that haha. Does anyone (with expierence, don't just guess please.) have any tips to avoid these things while singing and dancing? Please help and thanks!!

oh wow... usually the sound crew does their job and keeps it from being obvious. i think theres a certain way to put the mic on to make it so it wont pick up breathing. i had one that was basically an earpiece and i didn't have a problem with that at all. there's nothing you can do (besides practice and be in shape so dancing doesn't wear you out) because that's the crew's job, not yours. <3

yeah, the sound crew has a lot to do with it. there aren't many things you can do personally except move the mic farther from your face if you need to. at dress rehearsal, you might want to have a friend stand out in the audience to tell you if you're singing too loud, or you can tell the sound guys. another thing is, when you're singing, don't forget to breathe and then suck in all the air in the room because the audience will definitely hear that. but you can just push the mic away from your face if need be... it doesn't need to touch you, it needs to be several inches away. good luck!

the amount of feedback created by a lavalier (assuming you're using a lav and not a cordless mic or chorus mics) is determined by how good your sound crew is, not anything you can personally do.

Breahte deeply, If you don't your breath will be shallow and people will be able to hear your breathing. And don't put your lips to close to the mic, you should be able to fit your fist between the mic and your mouth. Also don't sing loud because you think people won't be able to hear you. Sing normally, that's what the microphones for.
