Bodymics for Youth Theatre

Microphones that actually fit young performers.

Kids aren't simply smaller adults—and one microphone size shouldn't have to fit an entire cast. Bodymics gives school and youth theatre programs more ways to fit microphones to the performers who actually walk onto the stage.

Better Fit

Small faces change the equation.

An earset that fits an adult lead beautifully may extend too far forward on a younger performer. Bodymics offers multiple boom lengths so your sound team can select a fit based on the performer instead of forcing every actor into the same microphone.

Fit the performer—not their age. The 3.3" Kids boom is a useful option for many younger performers, but face size and desired microphone position still determine the appropriate boom length.

Movement

Because young performers don't stand still.

Earsets

Lightweight and discreet. A good choice when a single-ear design provides enough security for the performer and choreography.

Headsets

A dual-ear design provides additional stability for dance, choreography, active performances, and performers who need a more secure fit.

Hairline / Lav

Flexible placement for productions where a visible boom isn't desired or where wigs, costumes, and character design create better placement opportunities.

Youth Productions

Sweat. Costumes. Dancing. Quick changes.

School theatre asks a lot from miniature microphones. Equipment has to coexist with choreography, costumes, wigs, makeup, backstage traffic, quick changes, and performers who may be wearing wireless equipment for the first time.

Keep the microphone secure.

Select a wearing style appropriate for the amount of movement in the production. Highly physical performers may benefit from the additional stability of a headset.

Plan cable routing.

Give the cable enough strain relief to move with the performer without tugging on the microphone or connector.

Think about costumes early.

Sound, wardrobe, wigs, and makeup should coordinate microphone and transmitter placement before technical rehearsals whenever possible.

Keep spares available.

A school production shouldn't stop because one performer damages a cable or microphone. Build backup microphone elements into your inventory plan.

Made to Disappear

Let them see the character.

A microphone shouldn't become the defining feature of a costume. Bodymics offers multiple colors, wearing styles, and boom lengths so the sound department has more ways to integrate microphones into the production.

Choose cream, brown, or black depending on the performer, hair, costume, and placement.

Building a School Inventory

Don't buy microphones one performer at a time forever.

Once your program regularly mics full casts, think of Bodymics as production inventory. Standardize your wireless connections, maintain several fitting options, and keep backup elements available.
