Today's episode is about microphone techniques. We will let aside the different mic setups and styles, and we will focus on the universally beneficial tips when it comes to speaking on a microphone. We will talk about body alignment, the better way of facing a microphone, the ideal distance from the mic and much more.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- The importance of body alignment when speaking on a mic
- How to let the microphone take your voice
- Plosives and how to play across the microphone
- It's not about you or the mic - it's about the listener
- How hydration can help our microphone technique
These five tips apply to voice professionals, but they are also helpful for Zoom meetings or virtual presentations. Time and practice will help you perfect these techniques, and still, they'll have a visible impact in your voice performance from day one.
