So many T-Shirts in this country. When most new videographers have to interview someone wearing a T-Shirt, I think they get embarrassed and just clip the mic to the front, letting the nasty wire crawl all over the place. Me, in most cases, I pull out the stick mic. But in those cases when the subject has to walk around or the framing is really wide, the lavalier mic is essential.

The problem is lavaliers don’t fare well on T-Shirts. They often flop over and nuzzle up against the shirt instead of pointing up toward the source’s face.

To avoid that, this is what I do.

	Thread the mic through the shirt from the bottom. This can be awkward, so ask the interviewee to do it and turn around and adjust your camera while she does.
	Grab the wire just below the mic, pull it up and thread it inside of the clip.
	Gather a fold in the T-Shirt right at the collar, and clip the mic to the fold.
	Voila! The wire should come up through the clip in front of the fold and go back down into the T-Shirt.
