Absolutely microphone use is a must, especially for the audiences that I work for. A tips that was helpful for me - practice at home and record yourself and listen back to it. One of those key phrases is your DJ name, start your sets with "Hey, what's up, this is the one and only DJ MARINKO!" (maybe even drop an air horn or two) everyone in the room is more likely to remember you for it!
You could announce the titles, use instrumental part and breaks, talk to one person in mind but not specific by name, don't swallow the mic technique, look into eyes and ask for response reaction.
Anxiety is my biggest problem...totally true what you said about leaving it to long as the Anxiety builds..and the problem with talking becomes massive..Good topic DJ Macca from UK
Make it a cardinal rule to never say "er...." or "ummm...". Don't mumble or be too casual or laid back. A bit of tension goes a long way. Project your voice at the mic, shouting works too, just make sure you got your levels right.

I think in the house and techno scene the microphone is hated and.. I hate it too
Definitely the case for some scenes :)
Im into tech house- techno and using a mic is kinda cringy😬
Definitely differs depending on the scene you're in :)
