AHA! The mike is popping and the gain is way too high, it sounds like
they're trying to work it too close. That mike is supposed to be a foot
or so away from your mouth...


Please explain to me how to do that.


You tell the speaker that the mic is "very sensitive" and
that they shouldn't get too close or people won't be able to
understand them. Or, as you suggest, you use a more
appropriate mic. Or put up a pop screen.
