Awkward Saturday, the bride has three small girls readings and outside with chaos all around dogs barking festivals on local park etc My voice recorders close will not get them as they have small dresses on with no belts pockets etc.The podium is tight and all three will be separated by 2 meters each so the zooms i have will catch them but not the best for clear lovely audio i am used to. Any ideas? Maybe i get a microphone handheld and tie a voice to them. Steve

Get a dummy microphone (or a real one) and strap a voice recorder to it - make sure they pass it between themselves and speak into it

The simplest way is to attach a necklace style cord to an H1 or other voice recorder which they can hang round their neck and simply pass it on to the next reader. I've done that before with small children and it worked well.
