yes you are correct about reinforcement, not recording… as far as your other suggestions, many of our performers are trained professionals with years of theater experince, the problem is not projecting, the problem is that our main venue is a large restraunt, not a theater… so you have the added noise of the bar, the wait staff, people enjoying their meals… it is a lot of extra noise that drowns out what we are saying before it makes it to the people in the back of the room… on top of that, the regular sunday night crowd is getting so big that the owner is wanting to move us to the banquet hall that seats 300 people… when that happens we will most deffinately need mics… we are having a production meeting this week, i will bring all of your imput to the table and suggest that we increase our budget for sound… all of the larger improv groups i have been researching lately seem to use lapel mics, so i will look into those as well

thanks to everyone for your imput

would there be a better way to put 2 or three mics on stands to pick up the vocals? they have 2 up there now, but they are about 2′ off of the ground, which is virtually pointless… the stage is about 12×8, its not very big, but we are also starting to be picked up at a lot of local restaurants and christmas parties… just trying to find the easiest and most efficient way to get our voices out there without yelling

Thanks for the advice, do you have any other ideas on how to amplify our voices?? maybe something other than wireless mics? we have to mics on stage right now, but they dont seem to pick up anything
