A microphone is a means of amplifying an audio signal, usually a voice. There are several types of microphones, depending on the method of attachment: the radio microphone can be fixed on the collar or directly near the mouth and does not require special attention when speaking or singing. But most microphones are designed to fit in the hand and require certain conditions to function properly.
Instructions
Step 1
The position of the hand on the microphone is not critical. It is only important that you feel comfortable, and that your hand does not feel numb and strained. The shape of the microphone is specially tailored for the arm and therefore there should not be any special obstacles in this matter. Holding the microphone in his hand, the singer has great mobility and can move freely on stage, perform simple choreographic elements. However, during the performance, it is important to ensure that the distance from the lips to the microphone is small enough so that the sound is fully captured. At the same time, do not press the microphone too close. Otherwise, unnecessary overtones may appear, characteristic accents on the deaf, like "p" "f" and the like.
Step 2
A special stand is much more convenient in terms of volume control. Place the microphone in it and adjust the knees so that the head is at the level of your lips. In this position, you do not have to constantly monitor the position of the microphone and the distance between it and the lips. However, you will no longer be able to actively move, in particular, turn your head. This option is suitable for singers whose hands are busy with another instrument, such as a guitar or synthesizer.
Step 3
The distance between the microphone head and lips should be approximately 1-3 cm. The optimal distance is determined by the sensitivity and microphone model, as well as the strength of your voice and physiological characteristics. Fix the microphone at a distance so that the useful sound is fully captured, and the sounds of breathing and accents on voiceless consonants are not too bright. Hold the microphone in this position while performing or speaking.
