Claim 10:
11. An alignment device for use with a microphone, the alignment device comprising:
an attachment piece configured to attach to the microphone;
a tendril extending from the attachment piece,
the tendril having a curvature configured to maintain a spaced configuration with respect to a grille of the microphone when the attachment piece is attached to the microphone,
the tendril terminating in a bulge configured to interface with a user's face at or above a bottom of the user's chin,
the bulge situated proximally of the grille when the attachment piece is attached to the microphone and configured to contact the user's face at a distance from the grille,
wherein when the microphone and the bulge are in use, the bulge is configured to move with the microphone, independently of the user's face, as the user moves the microphone to cause contact of the bulge with the user's face at or above the bottom of the user's chin, and
wherein a maximum longitudinal cross sectional area of the bulge is greater than a maximum longitudinal cross sectional area of the tendril.
