Use Audiovisuals [1]

Major Types of Audiovisuals

7. Microphones

Many people are uncomfortable with a microphone, but in situations where you're addressing a larger crowd in a big room, it may be the only way for the audience to hear you. With a little practice and some common sense, you should be able to overcome your fears.

  • Try to practice with the microphone you'll be using before your session begins.
  • Watch how the presider and others before you use the microphone - learn from their example.
  • Adjust the mike position once, and then leave it alone.
