If there is a microphone, then use it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a succinct article by Andrea Markowski at WORK IT DAILY on October 5, 2023 titled The Mic is Mightier Than the Voice: Yes, You Need to Use the Microphone. Andrea gives four reasons:

 

1] Your voce isn’t as loud as you might think.

2] Some audience members may pretend they can hear you because they don’t want to admit they can’t.

3] If you’re at an event with a Q&A session, use the mic when it’s your turn to ask a question.

4] Is it a hybrid event? If you skip the mic, remote participants won’t hear you.

 

On September 20, 2023 I blogged about Recent and definitive advice on preventing hoarseness (dysphonia). That advice incudes use of amplification to reduce voice strain when in large noisy spaces.

 

The microphone came from Openclipart.
