Tapping the microphone. Microphones are not
your enemies love them. They are expensive
professional mics, not the karaoke mics.

Whistling!

• You are not from the forest looking for somebody?

31
Using Tongue for Testing

32
Shouting to the microphone at a very close
distance. They are not human being but they may
get angry with you.

Clicking fingers. Microphones are not dancers
they perform according to the command

Blowing into the microphones. Microphones are
not hot why blow into them? Doing so destroys
the diaphragm of the microphone.

They are not lollypops
