Speaking on mic

So you are in the booth and you have your script stand, then you need to work out how you can talk into the microphone, but also be able to read from the script. You have to try and read it ‘through’ the pop-screen or stand, or off to one side slightly, or even up higher than the mic. One thing you shouldn’t do is have the script too far below the mic so you have to look down to read it. Doing this will cause a crease in your neck and constrict your airway.

So, try and have the script printed off in large type, or expand the size on your screen, so you can see it more clearly. And arrive at the studio in good time so you can, with a director’s permission, adjust the placement of script and mic (and the stand) to the best and most comfortable position for you, and the best sound quality.
