Hi Sandra, I can relate to your problem. I am being trained to sing and project without the assistance of mics. But when I sing at church, where mics are used, I have had some problems. In my case, it is usually the inexperience of the sound technician in dealing with my technique or my inexperience in using the mic to my advantage. Most singers in my church are untrained and need to be amplified. The choir is also the same situation. My choir director, who is a trained singer, can sometimes stick out of the choir- not because he is trying to shine, but because he is projecting and most choir members are not. If your voice teacher has not told you you have a technique problem, and he has heard you use a mic, then don't worry about it. Like you said, you can blow out the mic by projecting in the small studio space, where the tape player is unequiped for you needs. I think you're most likely fine, enjoy your voice and don't worry about trying to adjust for the mic, let someone else adjust the mic to you.
