If so it would be a good idea to put a pop screen in front of the mic to suppress plosives. If desperate you can make one with a wire coat hanger and a bit of a nylon stocking. Are they speaking one at a time or in groups? If singly hang a large duvet behind them to deaden echos. In any case go for the larger room, and try to position people and the mic to give the longest possible return path - avoid 90deg to walls like the plague! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
