The wireless microphone may be one of the most useful audio devices in the field of recording and performance. What about choosing a wireless system and the best ways to use it? Wireless mics are made for people who have a lot of ground to cover. In broadcasting for instance, where the action is often moving. A wireless microphone can actually save time and provides for an easier set up. There are two wireless frequency ranges VHF and UHF (very high and ultra high frequencies).

How To Use A Wireless Microphone

A microphone is a tool to amplify your voice, not a substitute for good vocal expression. It won't make a boring voice interesting—just louder. Learn the techniques of good microphone use.

When you use a microphone, you still have to use your full voice to engage your audience and establish your identity as a speaker.

Under the pressure of presenting before an audience, a speaker can lose natural vocal expression. Be aware of that risk and guard against it. As you rehearse, experiment with volume, pitch, and rhythm to achieve optimal expression and emphasis.

By varying your volume, pitch, and rhythm, you'll be able to convey meaning and emotion. Without variation, your voice will sound boring, monotonous, and robotic.

Even though you're using a microphone, your audience will still listen for the emotional and semantic cues contained in your voice, cues that a microphone doesn't supply. Use vocal diversity to make sure your audience understands and feels the tone of your message.
