Having said that the voice technique is a little bit directional. So if you're in the
back corners you need to be facing a microphone as best as you can. That doesn't mean only
in the general direction that might mean angling yourself to where you can get a voice shoot
straight towards that microphone. Also raising your voice in the back corners or on the back
line of that if you turn your back on the audience those microphones can still work
for you. You have to raise your voice more than you do for any other type of micing that
we are talking about. If you turn your back you can still be heard, it might have to do
with the back of the theater and what that wall is like. If you have moments when you
like to do that that would of been a smart thing to check during mic check. Is how well
does the sound work bouncing off from the back wall which very often works just fine.
If you are smart enough to raise your volume, anytime that you raise your volume don't forget
you have to clean up your diction because your diction is under extra pressure when
you raised your volume. Well it seems like a lot of information but really it is just
a stuff you'll forget about and it's just about getting things out of your way so that
your audience can enjoy the work that you are going to do in your live show. So take
a look at the other clips we did about lighting and sound and how you can be seen and heard
on stage. This is Les McGehee from plays well with others, I'll see you in another clip,
bye bye.
