0064: Make Your Equipment Come To You, Not You To Your Equipment

Hey there, hero!

I usually run all of my private VO coaching calls on Zoom with both of our cameras turned off. That way, I can save bandwidth to get clearer audio.

But sometimes, I'll hear something odd about the sound I'm listening to, and I then ask my clients how their gear is set up.

And sometimes, it's so weird that I'll ask them to fire up their cameras so I can see how they are addressing their microphones, where their mouth is in relation to the pickup and what position the mic is in.

And I've seen some pretty contorted talent, trying their best to work in small closets, scrunch under stairs or even trying to adjust, through their own twisted and awkward posture a mismatch in the height of their mics and tables and chairs.

Let's bring an end to this unnecessary and painful nonsense right now - your gear was mean to serve you, not the other way around. You and your final output will be the better for it.

Do you suffer from any of the situations I talk about in this episode? Watch or listen then let me know in the comments below.
