1) Choose the right room.
Clap, can you hear the sound come back to you? You might be in the wrong room if you can! Rooms that are smaller, with soft things like carpet, rugs, cushions etc will help. Even a Closet filled with clothes is a good idea!
2) Mic Placement (this applies even to your built in microphone)
Does your mic pick up sound from one direction or from every direction? Directional is better, but if you do have this kind, make sure it is pointed at your mouth.
You also need to be close to your mic. The difference between 6 to 12 inches is a big deal! Get close! It is normal to see a mic in the shot so dont try to hide it.
Pro tip! Have your breath or air go right over the mic rather than directly into it to avoid plosives (Bs and Ps) from putting too much pressure on your microphone and causing that annoying pop sound.
3) Use headphones to monitor how you sound and to avoid your guest callers bleeding into your microphone.
