Here are some tips to make your broadcast a success!
- Know your segment VERY well. Have it close to memorized.
- Speak slowly and clearly so that your audience can understand you.
- Do not touch or move the microphone. You will hear it on the recording.
- Be quiet if you are not the speaker. The microphone is sensitive and will pick up any little noises in the background.
- Avoid rustling your papers when at the microphone. Put the paper on the table if you need to read from it.
- Be interested in what you are saying – your voice will show it if you’re not!
- Do not move around when speaking into the microphone- plant your feet!
- Don’t get too close to the microphone. It will distort your voice and your audience won’t be able to understand you.
