Video Webcam
While you can use your computer’s built-in webcam, we recommend a high-quality webcam. The Logitech Brio is a 4k webcam that gives you great results at an affordable price.
Pro Tip: Put your webcam at eye level. This will look the most natural and make you look your best.
Microphone
Audio quality is critical for any podcast. You can’t rely on the built-in microphone of your computer or headphones. That’s why we highly recommend the Audio-Technica ATR2100x microphone. It can easily plug into your computer and will give you high-quality audio without needing to make any complicated adjustments.
Pro Tip: Have the microphone be about 2-3 inches away from your mouth. Put it on some books if needed to get it closer to you.
Lighting
Now that you have a high-quality camera and audio, the last thing to think about is lighting. If your office has poor lighting then your video podcast won’t look good. That’s why we recommend this desk lamp as it will help reduce any shadows.
Pro Tip: The key with lighting is to make it even across your face and barely noticeable – so you don’t turn it up full blast.
