Concluding my series on PREPARING for PERFORMANCE this week and dealing with Singing with a Microphone.
1. Occasionally Singers have to work with a microphone. However, the singer is dependent upon the quality of the microphone & sound system.
2. When wearing a head microphone, the singer has no control over the quality, & should always sing as if the microphone were not there.
3. When using hand-held/stand microphones, singers can achieve some control by the way they hold the microphone & the distance from the mouth.
4. Microphones have differing response levels, so it is always advisable for the singer to rehearse with the microphone prior to performance.
5. Use of any microphone must never be an excuse for poor, lazy technique. The sound system will only convey the quality of what is being sung.
