Article Comment – Placing Lav Mics on Talent Can Be Super Awkward: Here's How the Pros Do It

I can't count how many times I've said, "Can you drop this down your shirt for me?"

I always have the talent drop the cable down their shirt/dress/whatever, then plug it into the transmitter. While they are distracted trying to attach the transmitter to their belt, I adjust mic placement for the best sound and least visibility.

This has worked for hundreds of interviews with heads of state, CEOs, and normals of both sexes.
