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!!

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. [ DepthofHeart's advice column | Ask DepthofHeart A Question ]
