Hi Sandra,
Very sensible advice from Trevor. Don't adjust your singing, let the microphone be adjusted to you.
Any kind of feed back means that your equipment is ill advised to cope with your voice; for instance a cheap player/recorder. A sophisticated sound desk can cope with the various harmonics etc that the human voice can carry.
Also, when adjusting the sound levels yourself, it's just possible you're trying to record a 'bigger' sound than is needed. It's a common fault in students who think if I bump up the record level, they'll be more oomph. Yes, more oomph, but at the cost of good sound; result? The dreaded feedback.
Hope this is of some use, but as Trevor so rightly says, just enjoy your singing and never mind microphones. They are a blessing and a curse! Remember, Dame Clara Butt could be heard over a mile away in the open air, and there weren't microphones then!!
Best wishes,
Ian Voice technician, Bromley, Kent, England.
