Tech Setup:
Please read the important notes below, it will…
- Save you considerable time
- Vastly improve the event
- Create a better user-experience
- Get more viewers
- Be better for your business
Mic
Please use an external mic!
Solution below…
Put simply, a mic needs to be within 6-8 inches of your mouth to perform at it’s best.
That rules out laptop, desktop computer mics, and in-built mics on cameras.
Options include (in order of preference):
- USB desktop mic
- Lapel mic
- Smart phone (positioned well)
- Headset (some of these can be low quality – the price will be a clue)
Camera
Please use an external cam!
Solution below…
Put simply your laptop / desktop built-in cam / web-cam isn’t going to cut it!
The camera in a modern smart phone will vastly outperform any of the above – so use it. And you already own it!
You will need to use an app (software) to enable your Mac or PC to use your smart phone camera. I use “Camo Pro”. See below…
“Camo Pro” Software
There is a Free and Pro version and you will need the Pro version for the better resolution it provides but at less than $5 for a month it’s worth investing in at least for one month. Because as L’oreal says ‘You’re worth it’. Use with your original or good quality USB lead.
I have a professional external camera (~ £1000), but for most events I just use my iPhone 13. As long as you plug it in with a good cable it’s reliable and great quality.
