How To Look And Sound Great For Under $700 — Podcasting, Zoom Meetings And Beyond
<p><strong>Here is my final plea…</strong></p>
<p>It has never been easier (and cheaper) to look and sound better on any kind of <a href="https://zoom.us/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Zoom</a> call, podcast, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Teams</a> or <a href="https://www.skype.com/en/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Skype</a> call.<br />
I’m frustrated with how many guests on my podcasts (both <a href="https://www.sixpixels.com/category/podcast/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Six Pixels of Separation — The ThinkersOne Podcast</a> and <a href="https://www.notreble.com/podcast/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Groove — The No Treble Podcast</a>) are using terribly antiquated gear (if they even have that).<br />
I’m frustrated when I’m a guest on someone else’s podcast and they have sub-par audio/video gear.<br />
This also includes doctors using telemedicine, lawyers, accountants, and, essentially, any professional that truly needs to be “present” while online.<br />
In the past few weeks, I’ve had to turn down multiple potential guests who wanted to record via their <a href="https://www.apple.com/iphone/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">iPhone</a>, the mic in their laptops, or those <a href="https://www.logitechg.com/en-ca/products/streaming-gear.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">USB Yeti</a>-terrible mics.</p>
<p><strong>Ugh! Yuck! No! No more!</strong></p>
<p>I’m going to rattle off some gear, and if you can afford it, don’t think about it, just order it.<br />
I promise, it will not only make your life better, but it will open the door to more and more opportunities.<br />
Most humans really don’t understand that the better you look (and sound), the more people pay attention.<br />
That may sound trite, but it is true (and, yes, humans are that simple).<br />
I am also choosing gear that is easy and portable to travel with.</p>
<p><strong>Here we go (and I will provide some context to my choices, let you know what I am using, and newer/different alternatives).</strong><br />
<em>(As an aside, you can get much better gear than what I listing below as well, but I am providing this list as a “bare minimum”/let’s go list).</em></p>
