d. Rule 4.
Hold microphone directly in front of the mouth.
Speak
directly into, rather than across, the face of the microphone. Lips should
lightly touch the mouthpiece. Without straining, raise voice pitch as much
as possible. Speak distinctly, emphasize every syllable of every word, and
avoid "ers" and "uhs" between words. Natural sentence rhythm and intonation
are preferred.
