MIC ETIQUETTE FOR PERFORMERS

Last week we looked at mic etiquette for crew, today we're chatting mic etiquette for PERFORMERS. Could also be titled 'how to be the sound department favourite'.
A lot of people debut in theatre without having any experience with mics or any knowledge about how to look after them, use them and work with the person mixing. Let's chat about it.
If you have any of your own tips, or any questions, leave them below and join us on stream to chat about it in real time!

You actually hit all the main gripes; I mean points. People also need to stop tapping their mics to see if they are on!! They also need to pay attention to the sound person when a problem is noticed.
Great job explaining!!!
