Using a Microphone
From Bold Idea Knowledgebase
Students will be using a handheld microphone on Demo Day. Here are some tips on using a handheld mic:
1. Speak into the microphone not over the top of it
Point the microphone at your face. The picture to the right shows proper positioning, but also be sure not to cover up your face - people want to see you!
2. Not to close, not to far
Keep the mic about one "fist" away from your mouth. If you let it drift away too far, people can't hear you.
3. Keep your head pointed at the microphone
Sometimes you might look up at the screen or off to the side. Remember to bring the microphone with you when you turn your head!
