So if you do not want to talk, then just don't talk?...
Tape over the microphone? Usually seems to work for me at least.
it's odd how Nintendo never includes useful little functions like disabling features. It's a habit they need to get out of >_>.
The only game I've ever seen that uses the mic for talking is Metroid, and even then you have to hold down a button to get it to turn on.
