Have you ever seen someone speak into a handheld microphone and yet been unable to hear them clearly, you’ve probably been tempted to blame the PA system? But what if I told you that the cause of this all too common problem is the presenter’s poor microphone use, not the technology. . Bad microphone technique is like bad breath. 1) Microphone Directionality. 2) Microphone Distance.

If you are speaking in any venue that is larger than an average sized classroom or conference room, I strongly suggest using a microphone to prevent vocal strain. There are two types of microphones you are likely to encounter. This type of microphone usually has a battery pack, which you attach to your waistband, allowing you to move about freely. The second type of microphone is hand held or fixed to a stand or podium.

You can use a microphone or webcam and record your narration. MyBrainshark is a free slide-sharing site that allows you to record narration in one of 3 ways: You can call a telephone number and speak your narration on the phone. You can record Mp3 files (perhaps using Audacity) and upload them. (I I explain how to use Audacity in another context here.). You can also upload video and photos and narrate over them.
