Why is handheld microphone technique so important for speakers? 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.

At WEV graduation the other night, I noticed that a few of the speakers still could barely be heard, even though they were using a microphone. So I want to reiterate, because without this tip, nothing else you remember about microphone handling matters: You still have to speak up and project your voice, even though you are using a microphone. The microphone can't do all the work. Download my free handout "What To Do With That Pesky Microphone.".

It's probably a good idea to use a microphone if there are more than 30-40 people in a room, but it depends on the venue. The microphone should be close to the speaker's mouth, but not too close. You still need to project your voice even though it is being amplified by the microphone, but you don't have to shout.

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.

Public speaking often requires the speaker to use a microphone. The type of microphone you use is dictated by the venue of your event, the purpose of your presentation and the size of your audience. There are three types of microphones: shotgun, handheld and lavaliere. Each type of microphone is described below, along with tips on when to use them.

Most experienced speakers use a microphone when there are more than 30 or 40 people in the room. Bert Decker's post on when to use a microphone mentions other reasons you might need a mic, regardless of the size of the crowd. There's nothing wrong with being an inexperienced speaker.

However, I've learned my lesson about voice overuse, and I'm happy to say that if a microphone is available and a group is over about 40 people, I will use it. If you use a microphone, however, you have much more vocal control and the ability to play with vocal variety. You still have to project, even with a microphone, but not to the degree that you have to without it. And here's a handout with more info on using a microphone. Download audio here.

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.

FEBRUARY 5, 2013

When we think of a presentation -- whether a formal one on a stage with slides and a microphone or an informal one around a boardroom table -- we think of the presenter 'giving' and the audience 'getting'. The presenter gives her wisdom, experience, data, opinions, recommendations and the audience gets precisely those elements. But savvy audiences know it's not a one-way street. Presenters feed off the energy and attention of their audience.

But please don’t be afraid to use our microphone.”. Many times, fear is the reason why seemingly polished presenters balk when we request that they use the microphone. But deep down, the real reason he’s brushing off microphone support is because he’s scared. Also, a speaker may not be familiar with the actual microphone itself. I might say, “I know the microphone is scary. How else might you get recalcitrant speakers to use the microphone?
