Speak up, let your voice be heard. a mic is just a tool to get your message out. Stand up, be proud, let it flow.

Microphones make things LOUD. Some things are okay loud, but most stuff oughta be a lot quieter. I wonder what they call a quietaphone. A muffler, i guess. I think there should be more mufflers than microphones in the world.
[Starving Artist]
Her voice rang out across the room as she projected into the microphone. The crowd sat quietly until it was over. Her heart rendering version of "I'd give my life for you" from Miss Saigon was heard across the whole room. It had her in tears by the time she had finished it.

so i accidentally typed about a microscope instead of a microphone, opps, i have a bunch of microphones and they make your voice louder so people can hear you.
[rachael]
and then the microphone snapped. No one expected it. It was just there, on the stage. Black as black as an ordinary microphone could be. When she was speaking on it, she didn't even grasp it tightly. Just a slight touch at the tip, and then it broke in the middle-- that wasn't even the part that she was holding.
It was a mystery for a while.
The while continues up to this point

I want to grab the mike
belt out some prose
so that you may see me
like no one else does
your hand feel so good around mind
would you just see me
as I sing you this ballad meant only
for you
but you wont see me
you can only see past me

Bill held the microphone in one hand, painfully aware of the sweat dripping down its sleek black sides. His mouth was dry, his heartrate high and something inside his stomach was punching its way out.
"Harry was a good man," He croaked. "He died doing what he loved: inhaling massive amounts of water."

the microphone buzzed as he spoke into it, it was unclear and weary, as the speaker's voice and demeanour. unclear, wavering, but it didn't hold up its hands and say 'i give up' - as the speaker wished to.
[Shagun Khare]
Interest of the bloody kick boxing microphone like the ready to rumble. Its radiohead in a box, a Twinkie in disguise, a still life portrait of the main character from "friends." Understanding the microphone is a lie and a likeness of the window to the world. It amplifies, it reduces, but it opens up the world to your voice. Let it understand. It will never understand.
[Zaleznik]
loud violent virulent music
Her hand holds the microphone like a gun
her words pierce the room
my gut
it doesn't even matter as smoke swirls heavily
and so does my head
my stomach
my heart
she holds me in place with that sound
and reminds me why i'm here
that i'm here

i once worked at a sound effects studio where there were alot of microphones. high quality expensive microphones. singers use them too and it reminds me of a great photo i've seen of billie holliday shimmying up to a beautiful silver microphone...so translucent and effervescent and shimmering

I once wrote a song, and I was beautiful. At least in my ears. The problem was, that I didn't have the nerve to sing it out loud. And now i forgot the lyrics and the melody.

I looked out from backstage, the crowd was so beckoning, as were the empty floorboards. I waited until my cue was called. I walked slowly to the edge of the platform and stared at what was before me. I smiled on the inside and out. I radiated. I had requested this microphone. It was an older make that they didn't sell anymore. It reminded me of my childhood.
[Chelsea]
theres a microphone and you speak into it in order to communicate over long distances. Microphones are in everything these days. Telephones, computers, televisions, even cars. you could speak to your car and it could respond in time.

what is a microphone and what am i supposed to write about? i see uncle choorang singing it away at one of many concerts ... and then us kids dancing all out at the community center, young maffel with me and lani with maffel's even shorter cousin... those were such great times .... i miss those times, the innocence, the fun and carefreeness ... aaaaahhh wher'd it all go? is this minute up yet? i'm looking at the bar on top ... what happens next .... oh, microphone .... hhhhmmmm .... do i just continue writing ?? what is this at the bottom?

there's an empty microphone on an empty stage with a red curtain that looks like it's been drawn thousands of times. there's a shadow of a black and white image of women with tight dresses singing sad songs to soldiers about lost loves.

one time i dropped a microphone. actually i dropped several in my past. having worked with music since the age in which I could walk. I handled at least 3 recoding instruments daily. I first started really appreciating music in the 5th grade when my dad made me start playing cello. i hated it. it was beautiful. ocello was the best thing that could've happened to me at that point in my life. it served it's purpose, but i had to move on. electric bass was next. then guitar. guitar has carried me so far as freshman year of college. i don't know what my life would be like had I not picked it up. I think it my have contributed to the preservation of my sanity at least somewhat. Microphones on the other hand have played a comparatively less meaningful role in my life.
[ian]
microphone singing music if only i had a good or at least better one.. I mean as good as a voice can be no one takes it seriously unless it's portrayed in the right way.. hence a good microphone... and i need one that makes sound as well as records it.. if you know what I mean.. yes I wish I had a better one.. of course I could get one to use in covert spy operations.. that could be fun.. although not all that thrifty
[jane]
i see a microphone over in the corner. I wonder what my friend uses said microphone for. I think she uses it in conjunction with her web cam to talk to random people. I wonder if this is healthy. Should she really be talking to random people on the internet? Maybe I should get her a better microphone that way she can talk clearer. Or maybe I should tell her to quit and get a life. Cause really...thats just sad.

It was one of those little microphones, you know the type thats wrapped around your head and a tiny little black bud sits near your lips.
Well she had one of those with the little box strapped to her belly dancing skirt. I wanted to be her.

Say it loud. Say it proudly inside the shining silver metal coffin. Made with slices of shining moon, this instrument reverberates your fears, your joys, your triumphs. Vibrating with the sound of your own voice, the microphone shakes with the joy of being used as you belt your feelings out to the world.

[thomas roloff]
The microphone never really reflects what I say correctly. I always sound too man-ish or trivial which is slightly redundant to say. People are never themselves behind microphones which could be seen as a good or bad thing.

I stared at the black foam in front of my mouth, petrified. It looked so foreign and threatening. I knew there was no escape though, and I would have to face my fear sooner or later, and so edged closer and opened my mouth. "Testing."

I could see myself just like Madonna sinining into the microphone. Idid it while I was pissed out of my brain on champaign...oh it felt so good but sounded reeeeeeeeeeeeel bad. Or so Ive been told.
Oh the bliss the freedom

there is a microphone in my jacket and I love to hear myself sing. I love to sing into my microphone and watch the sunlight beam. I want to share it with the world and let them all shine though. And if my microphone makes me rich then more for me and you. So thanks for singing
[Tina]
singing. i remember the first concert i ever went to. i remember the fob concert last year. it was amazing. i wish i had been closer. the guy next to me lit up a joint. it was funny. i had so much fun. screaming, singing, laughing, laughing so hard i cried. almost puked. it was amazing. i wish i could go back.

the microphone was invented in the seventeeth century by a magician that went by the name of lord magico de la fantastic. he had sold his soul to the devil so that he can leave a lasting impression on earth before his time passed, thus making him immortal in people's minds. however, no one remembers who invented the microphone.
[sue]
there you are.
sitting, waiting.
for me to say something
that just might have the chance
to change the world.

and nothing leaves my lips
my throat ceases to vibrate
and im lost amongst the watchful eyes
who expect but never give back

It wasn't until she picked up the microphone that she realized, it wasn't Danny she was singing to, it was Elizabeth. She began, "You can't always get what you want..."

when i used to look round the room i always found myself surrounded. Quietly i hoped my thoughts could be expunged from my mind... if only i had the courage and the mental microphones of others. Then i could speak my mind without fear of it coming out as just a faint whisper on the morning wind.

Microphones aren't easy things to hold, there is so much expectation in the possesion of a microphone. Unless youre six years old and the microphone is connected to a cassett player by a twirly cord and the only result of your speaking into that microphone is a sixty second recording of twinkle twinkle little star or little bunny foo foo. But in real life, when youve grown up a microphone is usually held at some defining moment. A wedding, a graduation, or even a drunken night in the bar that begins with a few too many margaritas and leads to a super sloppy rendition of some 80s song and your daughter.
[Amanda]

loud. She spat into the space infront of her mouth. The room was dim and smoky, and a small layer of filth covered the stage where her feet barely stopped moving. The microphone was drenched after the first 25 seconds. Her voice held no harmony, no style or grace.

He leaned forward to talk into what seemed to be a microphone, but at this point in what would become the worst acid trip session ever, it could have been anything. He started yelling. His nose was flaring and bursting with thick snot.
[John K.]
I want to know what it's like up there. I've always dreamed of what it would be like to be on the other side, for once. I stand below, sweaty, shirtless, screaming their lyrics and throwing my fists in the air with hundreds or even thousands of others... But I've never been able to see it from the stage.

there once was a microphone that was used by gene kelly. it never forgot the way his lips moved with such grace and beauty. the way they seemed not to be talking to the crowd, but to the microphone itself.

i see the microphone. i see it fall. out of the hands of the one i shot. he wanted to be the leading man, when really, he was a mediocre singer. She shall now sing. and sing hard. i will back he up with my mandolin, as always. her twang, so sweet. with billy on the drums, we cannot go wrong.

i got the microphone and started singing as loud as i could. my voice is not that pleasant, so people started screaming louder than my singing. Some tomatoes were flying right to my face. But i didn't give up. I kept holding that microphone as if i had to prove that, yes, i can sing.
[Joey from the Block]
It will make you loud. It will make funny high-pitched noises. It signifies performing, it makes performing easy, because no one will ignore you and there is no need to work to project your voice. It is a good thing to have around when you want yourself to be heard, and it will blow your mind.
[erica]
i wish i had a microphone attached to me. "why do you mock me like that if my voice doesn't sound that way??" perhaps the point of mockery is beyond your drunken understanding. i don't apologize for wanting to record your stupidity. i wish i could just put everything together, to pick me up when i'm feeling down. that's all you are good for: a cheap laugh.
[eryn]
I got two turn table and a microphone. I guess that's been written before. I don't really have much experience with microphones, but every experience I've had with one has been really fun. I love me some karaoke, but then again most people do. People are vain. They love everything about themselves including their voices.
[Veronica]
I don't much like microphones. When I talk, or especially sing into them, I sound very young. I don't like to seem young in any way because I feel much to mature for my age already. Yesterday Ariel said I should change my last name to Ryan-Pagano, I wish I could. I would marry him right now. That would be wonderful. Maybe one day...
[ashley]
stepping up to the microphone i can always look into a crowd and sense a longing. maybe not something truly tangible, but all the eyes directed my way seem to be tearing apart my very individualism and simply seeing me as a complex amalgamation of ideals and one liners. well today, today things will change.
[david]
It's a recording device used in many stereo sound systems to record music, voices, etc. into a tape, or any other storage media. A microphone is most often made of a few chips and a modulator that picks up vibrations, or something of the sort. I enjoy microphones, but sometimes, software like Ventrilo can be spammed with stupid people who don't know how to property configure microphones.
[Justin Woo]
mic. i walk up. i see the faces of all the critics. they are judging me before i have said a word. i pull the mic from the stand and say "how is everyone doing tonight" well apparently there was not enough booze running through the veins of these masochistic fellons for i received no response.
[Lane]
I was there with the microphone, worried about what I would say. The peopel were all looking at me in horror, knowing that the end of time was coming . . . and that it was my fault. I wanted to argue with them. T o tell them "no, no! It's not my fault!" But the thing growing out of my forehead told a different story. I couldn't argue with somethign like that. No one could. So I just cried.

He stood oon the stage thinking 'my god, I'm actually here' and the sea of faces was like a beast with many eyes, all looking up at him. He stepped back for a moment, terrified of the power in all these eyss, that seemed to strip him bare, hunting for cracks, probing for who he was, to eat him alive. The guitarist slashed out the first riff, the drums began to kick.
He stepped forward to the microphone, grasped it and, as his voice thundered out through the immense speakers to either side he and the beast became one.
[Roger Wells]
i sing into this, and its pretty tight i mean like, its my voice just spurting outta speakers and things. sometimes i just talk into it though, and i give lame long lectures about trite and boring subjects. occasionally, ill blow into it or pretend that the item is a part of the male genitalia, mostly i focus on the singing though.
[jriz]
She stood at the edge of the stage, waiting for her cue. Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead, her breath quivering slightly as her stomach churned nervously. The stage was dark and the curtain had yet to rise. Back stage she heard one of the stage hands whisper a "ready?" Just as the curtain began to rise. Ahead of her the crowd sat, dark and anonymous.
[Kaye]
The sound of the microphone blaring with the guitars and the drums reverberated within my head. I couldn't think anymore. The ringing just wouldn't go away. I have decided to never again do a three day tour with led zepplin on the front stage.

I was just talking about these, actually. In the show "Spring Awakening," which has beautiful beautiful music, the characters, who are 19th century German schoolkids (teens), pull out microphones to sing the songs. Words like "stereo" reveal that the lyrics and songs are contemporized. So beautiful.

i become nervous at the sight of one. it startles me and makes me wonder if i will be speaking in front of a crowd. i read somewhere that a ridiculous amount of people would actually rather die than speak in front of a crowd. am i one of those people. i don't think so. i hope not at least.
[jamie]
She fell to her knees, the microphone rolling out of her hands and coming to a stop just before the edge of the stage. It was too much, she could no longer continue pretending. The audience looked on with unease, wondering what she was doing. Was it a part of her act? they wondered. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed. The room was silent.
[Carrie]
Give it to her. She deserves it. Young rouge painted cheeks. Bright blue eye shadow. Fake nails.

[Gabriel]
Microphones personify tthe wanting of someone to be heard. Myself, I prefer for my actions to speak for me. I hear many things about how the media are canted and loyal to those who would oppress us, which shows me that while you cannot hear a person's words, you can still feel their actions in your life.

Microphone? That seems like silliness. I mean, do you know how recently microphones were made? What did they do before that?
The just had really good lungs and strong diaphragms.
They yelled as loud as they could.
Sometimes, technology makes things too easy, now we're too lazy to have strong diaphragms.
[Steve]
There I was, one man before a crowd, the only thing sharing my on-stage torment was a singe microphone. I stepped up to my brother in torture and began to speak words of undying truth and agony, words of life and death, salvation and damnation. Words that could save a nation, or bring it to its knees at the hands of its people. I finish and the crowd roars with the scream of a thousand lifes then...Darkness.
[Sanus Kanarik]
I stood there terrified. I'd recited the words all night, all day, and this moment needed to count, I needed my words to be heard, validated, understood, accepted. I spoke every line perfectly, they stood and clapped. The MC gave me a hug. I never felt so proud of myself.
[CarlaB]
I am so quiet that, no one hears me
my voice is too small to get any attention
among the crowds, I am only a small speck
I need to be heard by someone, anyone
but then you come along, and theres a change
you listen to me, my small quiet voice
you hear me above the crowds that roar
you hear it loud and clear
as if i spoke using a microphone
maybe I'm not so small after all
I know, you can hear me
[chrissy]
He stood in front of the microphone. It stared back at him, waiting, inexorable. The sweat rolled down the back of his neck, scooting silently around that mole that he knows he should get checked out. "Uh. . " And that was all. The buzzer went off, the audience stood up, and everyone filed out. His hands stopped their shaking, and he let out a shaky sigh.

talk into the microphone so that people can hear what you have to say... maybe you should stop the music and talk about the specials we have going on tonight, even though youre the dj. i hate 16 year old kids at house parties that emcee over the dj. who the hell hands them the microphone anyways? *stab stab stab*
[nathan]
As she stood there in front of all those people, she felt her knees shaking despite all of the jack daniel's she had consumed that night. She saw her friends in the corner of her eye edging her to go on. As she heard the music begin, she felt her voise shake, but before she knew it, she was rockin Aretha Franklin better than Aretha herself!

I spoke loudly into the microphone. "can you hear me now?" Sure its cliche now that that freaking cell phone guy has been yammering on about it for years, but still a valid question.
Then I realized that I was talking into a stick and standing the middle of a forest, and that my friends was the last time I touched mushrooms.
Can you hear me now, Indeed...

i walked to the microphone and took with a shaking hand. in front of me was a sea of faces. I cleared my throat and a wave of expectant silence fell over the people as they turned to face me.

He grasped the microphone with clammy hands and felt his throat constrict. The lights above formed sweat beads across his forhead. His wool suit was too hot, too itchy. He could hear the people settling. It was time.
"Ladies and gentleman..."

I love it when he sings. He's amazing. He never sings, but he'll sing for me. When its all empty and the lights are down, he'll take the microphone to his lips. He doesn't sing. He pours out his heart. His words are more than words, but they can only rain on me. To anyone else they are lost lyrics, to me they are my soul. They are his soul. We are combined. I love it when he sings.
[Leah]
I stood there with the mic in my hands about to go on stage. Looking out at the audience I instantly became terrified. No time for fear.
No time for fear.
Stepping out, the audience began clapping. Dismally, but clapping. I sang.
I sang that first song I wrote for her.
The audience applauded afterwards, and that was it.
[Trevor Ceniviva]
this word is stupid. and quite frankly, it sucks. its not interesting. and its racist. because rarely does one see a white microphone. they are always black. once i saw a silver one, but thats like saying gray is black. which isnt true. but seriously, where did they get that name? you cannot communicate with people far away with it like a phone. it is not "micro" or small. it just makes loud and annoying people even louder and more annoying!
[elise]
speak, loud, global youth service day. I talked but the kids didn't hear what I had to say. Then the principle came. Experience is the only way to know what to say. I hope so some day communicate in way that my students can understand. There is hope in the world if I can share what I have learned with kids. There is hope because people shared with me when I was young.
[Miich]
it is something that popstars use to try to look cool when they have it attached to their face. but normal people use it too. like a weddings, who ever makes the toast. i like them. they are micro. and a phone. my two favorite things! gosh! who doesnt want a microphone answer: no one. but seriously, they are cool. especially when they are colored
[elise]
And, as we stand at the microphone of history, we must understand that the words we speak will either set us on the path to success, or doom us with their arrogance and ease. We must not constrain ourselves to the easily spoken words of platitude and falsehood, but rather must elevate our discourse to a new level.
[James]
"Don't hold the microphone' the english teacher said to us. as i gave my speech in front of my graduating class and all their parents, my voice passed through the black plastic, through the tangle of wires, and out of the massive speakers. my voice sounded shakey, thick, and foregin. lightening flashed behind me. the idiots that are school administration decided to hold graduation outside even though it was storming. 130 kids on metal chairs, their family members on metal bleachers. maybe the storm would distract them from my miserable speech.
[Maria]
There's no way you can say thing into a microphone without sounding like a dork. You are always self-conscious. You are always double guessing yourself. As I am now.
[Kim D]
The first time I saw her holding one I was terrified. I mean, what is she stuffed it up? Her voice was so much louder than everyone elses, I wondered why they bothered giving her a microphone at all? And then the people cheered wildly and I realised that I was the only one who didn't know she was the most talented girl in the world.
[alice]
we talk into these bloody things and yet the majority of the things that we hear from the speakers are empty words.
[bobbo]
The noise emitting from the whistle between your teeth is so fleeting, so barely there, that no one but I can hear it. But I do hear it. And I take this man-made melody, and I allow it to pass against and beyond the regular barriers of sound. I spread it out, and open it up to new ears, like the smallest box, with the largest gift, taped up. I will be your scissors.
[Jenniferret]
I have a friend we call microphone, her head looks a bit like a microphone. There's no other reason, she doesn't cause feedback or amplify anything. She does give good feedback though. She's a good friend that way.
[Del]
She stepped up to the microphone, shaking, sure of herself. She opened her mouth and sang, following the words on the screen. Her voice was frail and shy, but the microphone caught it and sent it flying to the edges of the room. She smiled and the people in the front row nodded back. She sang. She soared! She reveled.
[Kylene]
Screams and spit and sweat cake together in a mix of madness, floating over the crowd like a strange fog. And then it's over, cords wrapped around equipement, manhandled back into boxes, onto backseats of a fleet of borrowed mothers' mini vans, and the night is done.
[Mars]
I become a blathering idiot when someone puts a microphone in front of me. I'm not a big public speaker. I get nervous, my hands sweat, and I have trouble forming a coherent thought.
[Beth]
Sometimes i put on a tux and talk into a microphone but I never know what I'm going to say so I just bullshit with my good friend audience. then a girl takes her clothes off to music. I like my life.
[Drew Somervell]
Sometimes, people say "don't eat the microphone." I'm pretty sure that what they mean to say is "please hold the microphone further away from your mouth." Sometimes, people like to say things that are more clever but less accurate.
[avd]
sing loud!
[gomita]
I stood in front of the crowd and started to speak. Then I stopped. I leaned in towards the microphone, cleared my throat, and paused. It was harder than I expected it to be. The camera crews were silent.

source of voice. allows free communication to the masses, a shouting point, joe rogan can not use one effectively. amplification of sound, picking up subtle nuance, unexpressed registers, and way too much porcine breathing. forces you to limit your highs, lest you level out.
[somacow]
So we all decided to go to the karaoke bar tonight. It was a change of pace, we usually chill in someone's basement and play video games. But you know, that doesn't go to say that I don't like singing. This is about as epic an adventure as we'll ever have... i'll miss this, especially now that I'm leaving for basic in two weeks.
[reno]
A microphone is something I'm a little used to. All I think about is that song that says a microphone smells like a beer- who was that? I forget, but I know I like them. Microphones can make that funny feedback sound that makes the whole crowd go "ungh!" and cover their ears. They're powerful like that.
[Romany]
i think that the microphone is a cool machine,which makes you express your feelings about you.

There is was all lonely and dangling, waiting patiently to be taut and loved again. The microphone just sat there and that, "It would be just my luck to be a murder weapon. When I said I wanted to be famous, I didn't mean this. I didn't mean this."

we're still on such a loud topic. I thought we were all on the same page. I done flipped this last night, and it sounded just about right. I think I must have been on the same day this whole life. Maybe some sleep inbetween. I wish I microphoned my dreams.
[Brian P Perry]
I will use a microphone to make a speech about the importance of humanities. What am I even talking about? A microphone is better used as a dildo I guess. Why can't I stop thinking about that guy? I wonder if he moved to Germany. But I should be writing about microphones. Is that how this thing works? I really don't even know what I'm supposed to be doing right now but I can't stop thinking about that guy. Maybe I'll use a microphone to tell the world that I can't stop thinking about him and that
[Kate]
When you are quiet you should use a microphone. Also, when talking to a large group of people. Sing us a song, karaoke or professional. Just yell loud and have fun with this electronic device. KILLER. Turn it on.

a microphone is a usefull tool for singers. it also serves well as a head-banging machine. they tend to use little power but depending on the quality; can really throw a wrench into your sound. i wish i had one to use right now, because my voice is sounding good.
[nick]
Everytime she saw a microphone, she wanted to sing. As a kid, she'd steal down to the basement where her dad kept his band equipment and sing into the unplugged mic. One time he caught her, and she was so embarassed she never sang again. She had a terrible voice, and she prided herself on her awareness and restraint.
[rach]
It wasn't until I looked down in my hand that I realized that I was the one with the microphone. It was my voice they were hearing. It was my voice saying what needed to be said. It was my voice.

one day I had a really cool idea to see how loud I could yell so I took a bullhorn and a microphone and yelled as loud as I could and I woke up my neighbors and I killed the fish and i am now deaf.

She held the microphone in her right hand and fingered the cord with the fingers of her left. Her heart was beating at the very thought of the number of people that would--or wouldn't be there that night. What was she thinking? What was she doing there? this had been a long journey.
[alexandra marshall]
The only microphone I have to record with at school is the one built in to my laptop... far less than Ideal. The way it's positioned, if I try to record guitar (acoustic) and vocals at the same time, the guitar is so much closer that it drowns me out. blah.
[Dan]
my mic is a cranky little thing. it just goes off sometimes leaving me in distress in the middle of a skype call. I feel like strangling it to death but then i think this is the only one i have. if i kill it i will have to go buy another one, which i am not very happy to do.
I wish there was a mic which could just adjust play music without me have to logon to some some music site... it would have been really cool... i cud listen to talamasca whenever i wanted to. Just put on the headphones and i cud listen to it.
Hey wait i am supposed to write about mic and i think i wrote about the headphones.... oh well what the hell... how does it matter...??
[rubi]
The microphone rested solely on the table, yearning for someone to pick it up. Like a forgetton instrument it missed the time that it had once felt someones lips pursed against that cold, hard metal shell that was the direct opposition to what it represented on the inside. Inside the microphone represented passion.
[Miles Tincknell]
The microphone changed my life, because I tried to change other's lives. It showed me not only who I was, but who I thought I was, and what I could be if only I stepped away from it, and let the power of my voice carry my message. In that respect, it taught me that if I can't speak without a microphone I shouldn't be speaking at all.
[Andrew]
singing makes me happy I like to sing but i can't sing. i wanty to own a microphone and a garage so that i could sing all day when im mad when im happy when i just want to have fun. i saw a really cool microphone this morning and my friend was pretending he was a fox 11 news reporter. he was tqlking to charles, but the other guy was at the wrong airport!!!>>lisette says hi !!!!

i could say into a microphone all the things id rather whisper in your ear. it would tear you apart to hear out loud and in person spread across waves of sound to friends and family the pain youve dealt yourself and me. i could wear a chord around my neck and take this phonic device with me. but i will remain silent.
[Kaytea]
it is the thing to end all things, speak and they will listen it said, yes, I replied and zombie like began to speak. Droning on and on like a dalek I became acutley aware of a gathering audience in front of me. Thus my life as a stand up comic began.....
[Euan Woodman]
The microphone lay abandoned on the stage, my sweat was still dripping from the handle. I felt like a fool, how could I have thought I would actually sing in front of all those people. Now I had to contend with the mob of backstage managers scrambling for real entertainment after my embarrassment.

the microphone bends into knots you know and it makes my voice digital you could hear the nervousness when i sold my skills to them we talked across the countries and the crackling tells us that she is not here in the room with me but in another world over there over there where there aren't any red flags and coffee comes in big cups. the little thing a small flag too

microphones are a great tool in the art of music. A tool to help us record our voices, our thoughts, our impurities. To help us shout out to the world "I'M ALIVE" and make the world stop and listen. A way to be heard. So simple. So small.
[StacEy]
a microphone is something you talk into. It usually makes your voice louder, and is used in announcing something, or performing or making a speech. It is a way to express, a way to share ideas and empower people, motivate them, make them aware, share, get attention on an issue and so force.
[Lesya]
Microphones are such great utensils of art. They record the truth, and they record the lies. Even so the good can justify the cost of such a horrible effect. Microphones create the means of presenting something as beautiful as music to the poor people who are not full of the ability to access music or other stuffs.
[UnrealClock]
I heard a story, once, of a woman who was singing, and, as she did it, her mouth gaped qradually wider. Wider, belting, breathing, teeth heaving, microphone diving; she sook her voice with her hand, reaching into her own mouth until she choked.

singing. AHHHH. my fear. I can't sing worth crap. It had always been something I wish I could do. Even if my voice was only mediocre. But it's not. I can hardly carry a tune. And when the good singers go all fancy and change up the melody, I get even more lost because then I can't even try to match them.
[Brooka]
A microphone is black. and sometimes silver at the mouth place. they have wireless microphones and wired microphones. You can sing into microphones and you can talk into them. make funny sounds. pretty much anything. If you want you can have competitions of singing with them.

He had a head like a microphone, hair uncut, sitting motionless, easy to ignore yet he would hear everything. Passers planning their evening, business men planning the next move, parents planning the dinner. He would drift with each snippet of dialogue like a seed on a breeze. Sometimes allowing his mind to take a topic and run with it. Sometimes he would simply wait for the next episode within earshot. Today, however he walked..

Can you hear it? Even without the benefit of a microphone, the faint sound just brushed at my awareness.
I inched closer to the source of the sound. I stilled my breathing to enable to tiny noise to grow , to lead me to the child missing since last week, and to end the nightmare for his parents.

you sing into it and the voice becomes really loud through speakers so everyone in the audience can hear what the person is saying.
also you can speak into it when it's attached to a computer and record things like cds, tapes, etc...
it is mostly used for singers in a recording studio.

There was once a microphone. It was a good microphone and it had seen work from many different people and from many different places. It was the microphone that Elvis belted out hits with, and the microphone that Buddy Holly crooned with. It was the microphone that comedians would later use to tell jokes. It was also the microphone that families would use at get togethers, mostly to use it to amplify their own laughter.
[Matt]
a device for capturing voice and music information amplification of specking engagements to address an audience and extend a voice or a sound. Used by speakers and by musicians for communicating to an audience or for capturing their communication in digital or analog format. used to capture sound and transmit it to another device for amplification or recording.
[mike]
microphones are very fickle. sometimes they pick up my voice, others they dont. i think it has something to do with my pretty monotonous voice. I dont believe its monotonous, but as i play rock band and attempt to sing [usually, i dont sing] it turns out to be around the same pitch every single time. I dont get it, microphones actually.... well, we need a new one. A real one. especially for our band.
[albert]
A microphone is something you sing into . It lets you record your voice and hear what you sound like. It amplifies your voice over speakers. I love to sing into a microphone especially when I karoke. Microphones come in all sorts and sizes. I love the big old fashioned microphone. They amplify sound better. I also like the miny microphones you have for your headset. they are awesome.

[Josh Compton]
As i speak gently into the microphone my voice carries all the rage inside me of feelings that i am unable to speak of to any single soiul. my fear is that i will somehow expose what all is there inside of me. The pain, the joy, the wish for salvation, honor revenge and pleasure. I want to be able to let the world know that I am here. I was here in a time of pleasure and pain. I am. I am. I am. Remember me. Remember me. I was. I was. I was.

you talk in it, you sing in it, you yell in it, you orate in it, it amplifies, magnifies, yells back at you, it sings, it talks, it whispers.
[Samantha Silva]
Talk into it, while standing on stage, voice booming and you can feel invincible. Turn it up loud enough and it's all they hear, all the audience hear, if they drown you out with their laughs then you are a success, if not, then not...try again...microphone.

The boy lifted the microphone, hands trembling cruelly as he graples in vain with the nerves corsing through taut veins.
Spot lights shine down, casting weird and elongated shadows across the stage, accentuating the horror as it unfurls at a wild pace.
[Alicia Henderson]
it is something you put your mouth on so that many people will hear what you are saying. so that communication will be done. so that many people will h ear what you said. one of the wonders of the electronic world.
[jonathan]
The microphone was balancing the wooden floor on which the dramatic fall took place. the wooden floor was unsatisfied. unsatisfied at all, cause he thought he would be gentle to the microphone, which he nicely called: Jamal. Jamal was his one and only love on this planet.
[Marjo]
this is a device for recording sound. it translates vibrations into electrical impulses. a simplistic version of an ear.

You're standing there waiting for your voice to be heard. The lights are so harsh and you can't see anyone in the crowd. Taking a deep breath you let you fears and your frustrations out into the microphone.
[Alicia Pritchett]
you sing into it and it amplifies your voice. used at concerts by the lead singer plugged into an amp. is usually black with a ball you speak into. and an on/off button
[kelly]
its a small mike. wher eyou talk about it. about the world, about what you feel. just plain speaking. mostly the imagination does your work, adn then everything else falls into place. it's done proactively, a new word i learnt today. haven't done it for ages, but it's ok. microphone is something that enlivens your sense of being on the internet, taking to people and making your presence felt into the world.
[vyz]
you dont need a micraphone to talk to other when you can just, meet them in person.
it makes you good to go out once in a while,,
dont you think?
[Sigrún]
device to enlargen ones voice and carry it out to several more paople that without. I see that as a possibility both for propaganda and mass brain wash and information or pleasure to the people. And music :)
[Siri]
There was so much noise for one tiny instrument. The magnified thuds echoed within each other as she darted from the stage, leaving a piece of herself rolling in circles behind her...
[Amanda]
ı need to hear the sound
[pelin]
A microphone is a device that amplifies a sound. It is used commonly for singing and recording. If a microphone is pointed at a speaker, there will be an increasingly loud sound.

the lights were down low...energy saving methods and due bills kept the lights at this murky level....slow sounds of jazz notes wafting through the air...inviting all inside who 'just want to relax'....

I come here. I switch on the lamp. I sit down, hand in my pocket. I'm reaching across yours. You are a sunflower. You are a windmill. My heart six, your heart seven. We whisper in the park, because this is bugged.
[daz]
i love to go out at the weekend and get really hammered and to 'wreck the mic' or other studio based equipment. it is the best thing of a weeeknd and my friend Susie has always been a big fan of mic wrecking too!! Watch us wreck the mic - psyche!

The medium of the stars.
Reach the masses.
Shine. You are a golden god.
[SigmaD]
i speak into the mike screaming my thoughts bareing my soul before billions or maybe just a handful of individuals either way im naked and embarresed. they dont even like my expression. why am i doing this. does it satisfy some inner need to share. or is it just my vanity?
[rob]
"eh, ahem, ugh, ... " I try to speak but the microphone acts as a muzzle, preventing even the most vaguely comprehensible words to come out of my mouth. Eventually .."shit" echoes across throughout the room.
[tony]
The new cell phones are so small you can bearly even see them.
[a false terl]
I grabbed the microphone and started belting out the loudest song In my head! I looked into the croud and felt a surge of adrenaline go through my veins! I was terrified but I just kept going.
[Sarah]
I'm looking at this piece of black mechanical plastic which will make those ten thousand people out there hear what I have to say. My only chance to reach out and protect the things that I believe in. The moments which changed my life.

jazzy micro thingy wowzer its manhattan with wheels on a silver platter. what a fantastic word box. Outwardly spinning through the vortex of time and space. Inwardly we travel though cautious with our feelings. is the 60 seconds up yet? I'm sick of writing. I think its broken because I don't have flash installed. fix your software you dopes.

it is a piece of junk to elaborate your voice and show your emotions it also makes you heard above the din of this world and makes you sentimental and less culpable
[M shakir]
"Is this thing on?" A voice from the back: "No." "Then- wait, then why did you hear- this doesn't make any sense." "Yeah, well, forget you. i#'ve got a sandwich." "They don't even sell sandwiches up here! Forget this I'm coming down." And the fences parted and everyone set themselves on fire with joy. There was nobody to argue. What the hell am i banging on about I don't know. I don't know. Forgive me.
[crabmuffins]
I like to get up there. I like to have that microphone in my hand, all eyes on me, People listening to what I have to say. Thats all I need. One chance to say what I have to say. For you the hear me, with this michrophone.

a way of letting people hear you, communication, and one of the most powerful tools in mankinds history allowing aplification of the smallest sounds to the lagest gatherings and venues, i personally use microphones in my daily life when in the recording studios from anything of vocals ot guitars, bass, drums, orchestras, it doesnt matter as long aws sound is viably present it can be

A microphone sits on the stage waiting patiently for the next kareoke singer. She steps up to the mic, and as she opens her mouth, the most beautiful sound emits from her soul. The crowd stands still.
[Hayley]
I really need a microphone!! to record vocals for my new album! unfortunately, I have no income whatsoever. Dx I'm only 15 and I have no job. D8 Life is a bitch. srsly. I have nothing else to say on this matter. :|
[Ruka]
I'd like to have a microphone and let my voice carry long into the night like morning bells that ring with hope and clarity into the din of the chaos and over the savage skies into the ears and hearts of all who hear me giving them hope and life and reason for living that is my message, that is my meaning to carry into the world against the clamor against the vain repetition of the world that offers nothing.
[Aaron]
i wish i had a microphone. right now. so i could scream. or maybe whisper.

She stepped up to the microphone and whispered "testing 1, 2, 3, testing. Is this thing on?"
[chriss]
When I step up to the mic. It makes me think of hip hop, brazen young black men, spilling street poetry into the air. Of rhythms, of sweating in basement bars, low ceilings, low thumping basslines. Boy boys break dancing.
[Ed]
I like to talk into microphones. They amplify my voice. If i was going to talk to a large group of people, I would use a microphone so that everyone would be able to hear me. However, when I am using a microphone I am somewhat weary of a phallic shape. It is like I am putting someone's dick head against my lips and talking against it. weird.
[Andrew]
He could sing into the microphone, and even though he swears he can't sing, I'd forgive him for every off-key note, and I'd love him anyway. He could play into the microphone, any instrument he chooses, it could sound like nothing but noise, I'd love him anyway. They say love is false, we only love people for what they give us, but I love him for his love, and what does that leave us with? I love him and his music and his art and his voice, and those don't benefit me, so I suppose I love him for his love, and love does exist.
[Kelsey]
The sound clicked on as she stepped up to the front of the stage and began reading. Softly at first, then louder as she gained confidence. She read the last line and looked into the glaring lights. Feeling strong, she realized she had bared a part of her soul to an audience of strangers.
[mj]
the middle-aged man stood at the revealing microphone. his personality available to everyone in the dark, smoke filled room. his friends had convinced him that he had what it took to lead the room in laughter, it wasn't working.
[Jake Bergeron]
talk loud speak yell hear noise speakers get the point across. can u hear me?
[annette]
a microphone goes with two turntables, although we all know that beck should be given a ticket for improper and illegal use of a vocoder. shouldn't a microphone mean a tiny phone? maybe it is a tiny phone and i'm just not tech savvy enough to know it.
[PeggyOliviaSmith]
i think that microphones have al lot of weight when they are on stage they are the omst powerful things that a person can hold when perforoming when i think of microphones it reminds me of my performances with barefoot truth, you dont want to sing to close to the microphone or else it will give you feedback and appear fuzzy. there are a variety of different microphones that have a lot of different sound quality for the nicer ones one will often buy them in peron so that they can test them and make sure that they are the ones that are suitable for a crowd.
Also microphones are typically black they are always cooler when they are gold or silver though. My friend has a microphone that is covered by a circular screen that will protect the sound quality, and h

He stands with the microphone in his hand. Controlling the stage. Dominating. Sexy. His voice flows through the speakers. His music filling the room. All eyes are on him. He is incredible. Perfect. Wonderful.
[Kelli]
I'm drunk. This keyboard is my microphone. Amplifying the words I speak. Making everything I say gorgeous and important. Am I drunk on vodka or am I drunk on the gorgeousness of life? I'll never tell. I'll never tell.
[theseasons]
Susan walked slowly up to the microphone. She was wondering why she had let her friends talk her into coming to a keroke bar in the first place. She certainly didn't have any singing talent, and now she would be making a fool of herself. THe music bagan and Susan took the micropnone in her hand. Just as she was beginning to sing, a loud bell began to ring. It grew louder and louder as the music faded away. Suddenly the room was filled with smoke and flames began to dance across the back of the stage. "saved by the bell," thought Susan, as she made a dash for the door.
[Ida Richardson]
he wasn't exactly thrilled, but he always wanted to be in front of a crowd. his jokes straddled the line from yo mamma to a promenade into a bar by multiple cultural groups, nothing too fancy. the only ones that ever laughed were his stoner friends.
but this microphone was magic.
or he had a contact high.

A microphone is an electromagnetic devices that is used to convert analog sound, such as a person's voice, into an electrical signal, which can then be amplified or processed by a variety of electronics.
[nick jacques]
Public speaking and embarrassment. id rather eat hair than speak in front of anybody. i'd feel like a fool. I'm always afraid someone will discover I have no idea what I'm talking about. the only time i enjoyed speaking in a mic was in high school when i did prom annoucements.

as i steped to the microphone, my nerves left me. they were the ype of nerves that can only lead you to the type of life i've had. artist, busnessman, lover and the rest.
[j]
a microphone is black some times and you hold it and sing into it or talk whatever you want. and people use microphones to make their voices louder so people can hear them. presidents use them and so do rappers. its cool.
