Recording for a project takes the right tools, especially when it comes to audio. There are many types of audio recorders for instance, boom mic, shotgun mic, just plain ol' camera mic that in the camera itself. Then there is a lavaliere mic.
A lavaliere mic is a mic that is small, can be undetectable and can still record good audio even for its size. A lavaliere mic is Omnidirectional, meaning that it covers sounds from all angles/areas. They work no mater where you are pointing it at, as long as it is by the the persons fave. Of course putting further distance between the mouth and the mic or the persons head turning will lower the audio. To be perfectly hones, that was pretty obvious but anyways.. Lav mics come with a clip that can be used to hook onto cloths. The lav mic is a bit of an eye sore if you don't place it correctly. Most of the time the actor have the mic hidden within their cloths. For instance, if a guy is wearing a suit they can hide the wires in their shirt but hook the mic to the back of their tie. Another example would be for woman is that it can be hidden in between their bra. I don't know how to stress this properly, ask the actor if they would like to take care of the mic themselves, by god they're humans too. Luckily you don't have to have them wear the mic at all, if it is possible. you could hide the mic in a plant or behind something large enough to where it cant be seen.
These mics are wireless but not in the way you might think. These mics are wireless in the fact that the receiver is not directly connected. There will be problems with this though, nothing substantial but you could possibly have the receiver muted by accident and that will cause problems down the road in editing.
