In this episode, I wanted to share with you some of the tools and equipment I use to create this podcast every week. As a fellow wedding industry professional, I know how important it is to have the right setup to run or grow your wedding business.
First off, I introduced the Elgato Stream Deck, a nifty little panel that allows me to control various aspects of my podcasting setup with just a touch. From starting and stopping different software to controlling my lights and music, this tool has been a game-changer for me.
Next, I talked about the Rode NT USB microphone, specifically designed for podcasting. This microphone is easy to use, simply plugging into the back of your computer via USB. It comes with headphone and volume controls, making it a convenient choice for podcasters.
I also highlighted the Elgato key lights, a set of lights that I can control through my computer, adjusting brightness and color temperature to suit my needs. These lights have been essential in creating the right ambiance for my podcast recordings.
Moving on, I shared my experience with the Sony ZV-E10 camera, a versatile camera that I've set up as my permanent webcam. With excellent video quality and the ability to adapt to different setups, this camera has been a great addition to my podcasting arsenal.
I then discussed the Elgato prompter, a tool that allows me to read my script while maintaining eye contact with the camera. This has been invaluable for presentations and webinars where I need to engage with my audience while staying on track with my content.
Lastly, I mentioned the Audio Engine speakers, compact yet powerful speakers that enhance the audio quality of my recordings. Whether connected via mini-jack or USB, these speakers deliver crisp sound for a more immersive podcasting experience.
