What kind of portable microphone or P.A. system is a good purchase?
Much discussion can be found on this in the Storytell archives (if they are working) at www.venus.twu.edu/lists/ . There’s much sound advice (ha!) on Doug Lipman’s pages at www.storypower.com/lipman/articles/performing/mics.html and www.storypower.com/lipman/articles/performing/sound.html. Bob Shimer has a page of tips (with photos) on equipment at http://drango.com/tips/mic&.htm Microphones and amplification also require practice and technique to use well in performance. Some tellers try and avoid them, feeling they get in the way of intimacy (and bad sound quality or level can ruin it).
