Mics at a Noisy Event

If you are simply shouting over other noises (perhaps to convey the excitement of the event[1]) then:

·        you may not be using the right type of microphone

·        you probably need to be wearing headphones so you can isolate the sound that the mic is picking up (rather than what you are hearing at that location), and determine the balance between ‘situational sound’ and your voice. Once you know this you may be able to:

o  reduce your vocal volume or

o  move to a quieter location or

o  move the microphone closer or further from your mouth or

o  adjust the ‘input level’ of your microphone or

o  move the microphone so its pick-up pattern is better reproducing the sound you want or

o  a combination of the above.

·        you will be putting undue strain on your voice

·        you will be tiring to listen to for any length of time because…

·        you will lose subtleties of inflection.

[1] As we have seen elsewhere, if you raise your volume then your pitch will also rise.
