It appears face-masks are not going away anytime soon. Biden and Harris have called for a nationwide mandate-- "Every single American should be wearing a mask when they're outside for the next three months, at a minimum.” (The fact that 3 months falls just after the election is purely coincidental, I’m sure. )
My own personal observations have seen an increase in people (adults and children) wearing masks since I’ve begun doing shows again in early July. And so has the expectation that I wear a mask also. Not to complain, but I exert a lot of energy during my show, as I’m sure most of you do also. Even though I’m in fairly good physical condition, I have noticed my breathing has become very heavy at times with a mask on, and I find it hard to catch my breath at times also. The next issue will be what masks are acceptable and which are not. Note this article: https://www.studyfinds.org/worst-face-ma......no-mask/ I’d be most grateful for some recommendations. Ideally I’d like a mask that: -Will be effective in stopping the Corona Virus. -Will give the appearance that I respect others. -Is easy to take on and off and works well with my Samson Airline microphone that I use. -Allows me to breathe while exerting a good amount of energy. Thank you and Stay Healthy!

I recommend a Rorschach mask.

An option you ithe consider for performing is a face shield. Solves breathing problem, will work with a mic, and stil allows your face to be seen. Some studies show them to be effective. Of course there are other studies that say they are not.

They do not fall under most mask guidelines though.

Interestingly, the CDC does NOT recommend face masks while engaging in high intensity activities. I think my show qualifies as a high intensity activity, but its all about the perception.

FYI I ordered this one for now:

"High Intensity Activities" means activities strenuous enough that you would not be able to hold a conversation.

I recommend a Rorschach mask. Amusingly, Alan Rorrison actually made a few of these. He had them for sale a few days ago. Current style, not full face like the comics/movie.
