You hit on one of the two things that I think make microphones difficult to use: Inexperience and ignorance.
I always thought I would be good at using them, but the first fifty times I had no idea what I was doing. Part of it is ignorance - some of the questions of how to hold it or how far away from your mouth it needs to be can be answered by asking someone who knows. They are also often answered by experience/practice. You figure it out eventually.
A Year Of Questions is a project begun on March 22, 2010, by seven teens who want to be better at asking questions and articulating answers. This blog exists to make it easier to discuss these questions (because a 500 character limit on YouTube comments is rather limiting). Enjoy!
