Positioning your microphone
The New User Wizard first explains how to position your microphone:

Position the microphone
Positioning the microphone is important. If the microphone is out of place, Dragon
NaturallySpeaking may not be able to hear you clearly and may make more
mistakes.
Consistent position is also important. Make sure that you position the microphone
the same way each time you use Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
Using a headset microphone
Position the microphone about a half-inch (approximately the width of your
thumb) from your mouth and a little off to the side. The microphone should not
touch your mouth, but it can be almost touching your lips.
If you need to move the microphone out of the way, you can lift the "boom" up
and over your head, rather than bending it out of position or removing the
headset.
