If you’ve ever experienced sudden feedback, muffled vocals, or inconsistent sound levels during Sunday service, you’re not alone. One of the most common yet overlooked causes of these audio issues is cupping the microphone—a habit many vocalists and speakers unknowingly develop.

🎤 How cupping the mic distorts frequencies and kills clarity
🔊 Why it causes uncontrollable feedback and frustrates sound engineers
🎚️ The impact on worship singers, pastors, and spoken word performances
🛠 Practical training techniques to help vocalists and speakers break the habit
A great worship experience depends on clear, powerful, and distraction-free sound. Whether you're a musician, pastor, worship leader, or sound tech, understanding proper mic technique is crucial. Tune in to learn how to eliminate bad habits and improve your church’s audio quality!
