Tips when performing / presenting with a Microphone

Some presenters are afraid of the microphone and will stand too far away or speak with a soft voice.

As a presenter:

Always face the microphone when speaking at a podium.
Avoid turning your head away while speaking.
Maintain a consistent distance from the microphone as close as possible while still being comfortable and relaxed.
If holding a mic, be aware of hand gestures to avoid moving mic around.
Speak loudly and clearly into the mic and hold it close to, and in front of the mouth.

Similarly some presenters are very energetic and are constantly moving around a static microphone.

Always project with clear pronunciation.
Avoid excessive breathing into the mic as this creates popping sound.

One could also make use of a wireless headset/lapel microphone, allowing freedom of movement.
