Microphone/Voice Over techniques?

[TerryByte]

Just got a microphone and I'd love a couple of tips on what would be good mic work to get a clean crisp sound.

Don't need an essay, just point form or whatever, so everyone can benefit of this post!

Also, try to position your mic near your face but about 45 degrees to either side rather than directly in front of your mouth. This will help with plosives, aka "pops".
