[ Michael ] I use Alclair Audio in-ear monitors.
[ WM ] And for your live vocal mic on stage?
[ Michael ] For live vocals, I use the Audio Technica ATW-C5400.
[ WM ] For the studio?
[ Michael ] In the studio I use a Telefunken C12 and an Audio Technica AT-4947.
[ WM ] What advice do you have for worship leaders, team members and tech teams who serve week-in and week-out at their local church?
[ Michael ] Lead with humility. Make sure your posture is pure and beautiful. And remember, it’ s not about you. For the worship leader and team, I believe your assignment is to change the atmosphere where Abba meets his people( the Church), through the songs you lead and what you say.
[ WM ] What is a current worship album you are listening to?
[ Michael ] Not sure I have a go-to. I usually have a playlist of many styles of worship. Lately, I have been listening to the Church in Nigeria singing with everything they have through the extreme persecution that they are enduring. Convicting to say the least. And extremely powerful!
[ WM ] Yes, we need to pray for and remember the persecuted church. Michael, thank you for giving of yourself to answer these questions for us.
[ Michael ] You are welcome, Bruce. Good connecting again …
