Hi, maybe you can help me with some tech suggestions. At my local scouts troop I’m one of only a few guitar players. At camp fires I play the guitar and provide lead vocals, so that others can follow (which is important especially for songs, that are not well known). Because only a few can sit directly beside me and others might talk in parallel, I need to sing very loud, to give an orientation, which makes me hoarse way faster.
I would like to have something, that amplifies my voice, with decent quality (so no megaphone), a microphone fixed to my clothes or my head (as I need to play the guitar in parallel) and being portable (easy to carry, relatively small and powered via battery). I am able to spend like 200€ for it (300€ would be the hard upper limit). I can also build something myself, though I would need orientation on what to build exactly. I don’t have experience with audio electronics, but with microcontrollers.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Sorry, you totally overestimate how loud they will sing, how much people already sitting are willing to move and underestimate how loud the surounding talking can be. If it where that easy I wouldn’t ask this question here. I’ve often received feedback, that they really like, that I push the singing in the group, though that doesn’t mean, that many people would step up and sing loud with me (at least as long as there is no huge crowd singing, or where they can just bawl instead of sing). Peoples inertia is unbelievably big. And in 2 months I will be at a camp with 120 people, so not as small as normally.
