Whenever I see an up-and-coming Youtuber I notice they often make the same mistake. When the time comes to increase production quality, the absolute first thing you should do is invest in improving your sound. Not the camera or the lens or lighting or set design. Audio quality trumps all of that. People being able to understand what you are communicating should always be the highest priority.

And the cool part is you can do this with a cheap lav mic. There are some that can just plug right into your phone. The next priority is learning how to set levels and make sure your voice isn't distorting from being too loud. You can even record a little quiet and bump up the levels later on. But if you record too loud to begin with, you can't fix that.

After that you can "treat" your room. Which just involves controlling echo and reverb. Foam acoustic panels are expensive and not necessary. You can do the same thing by just filling your room with stuff. Furniture, books, blankets, pillows. You want to eliminate large flat surfaces. If the sound has to bounce around on 20 different surfaces before it comes back to your microphone, it will have much less energy.

You can also figure out which wall is the biggest echo offender and hang a couple of heavy blankets in front of it. If you can score those moving blankets on the cheap, those work great. And if you can put a gap in between the blankets that will further reduce echo/reverb. You don't have to cover the entire wall, just the main area in front of where you are speaking. If you can reduce that very first reflection, the sound will have much less energy to bounce off other surfaces.

All that said, sometimes people will go overboard with sound and buy that giant phallic SM7B dynamic microphone. I see those things everywhere. Yes, Michael Jackson used it and it does sound great. But with so many quality USB mics that plug straight into your computer, it is a huge hassle and really overkill unless you just enjoy audio tech and want a cool toy. The SM7B requires extra equipment to make it sound good. It's XLR so you need a special interface. And most people add a "cloudlifter" because it isn't very sensitive and can be really quiet without it. Plus, dynamic mics need to be super close to your mouth and I think covering half your face with a giant mic isn't the best visual. There are lav mics in a wide spectrum of price ranges that can be hidden and sound great. Or you can do a shotgun mic like they use in movies. It can be hidden offscreen and pick up your voice from a distance.

Big dynamic mics are great for people with baritone voices. If you are James Earl Jones and you want to show off your voice, the SM7B or something similar makes more sense. Beyond that, most of your viewers just want clarity. Good room treatment and a $30 lav mic can achieve that pretty well. And if you watch a few tutorials on how to EQ and process audio, you can do a lot to make a cheaper microphone sound great. Reaper is a wonderful audio program with professional features and a reasonable price.

TLDR... fix your sound first!

keepsakes. Ghost: Polaroids. He’s a classical kind of guy, and he likes writing on the other side of it. He wouldn’t put them all over his walls though, he has a neat folder that sometimes he sleeps with. He’d show you a handful if you asked, but he has a private folder that will probably be buried in the yard. He’d laugh if you mention how serial killer like it is.

Gaz: audio. He loves loves loves your voice and he records you all the damn time. He spends way too much on microphones and sleeps with headphones on. USB after usb after usb. He’s saved every voicemail you’ve sent him and edges on being hard to reach just so you’ll send more. He wouldn’t have a hint of his collection until he asks you for a special recording.

price: he has more than a couple of tapes of you. Cameras in the corners, in the stuffie he hands to you, clipped to his shirt. He talks shop with you about cameras, the GoPro he uses on his bike and he thinks it’s funny you don’t know how acquainted you are with them. Would never tell you. dreams about wedding tapes. Also a big fan of solid media, vhs tapes and whatnot.

soap: he draws you. For a while you’re his only muse and his sketchbook is filled with your face, your hands. He steals photos when he gets the chance so he can put them to paper. He keeps his best drawings, and the ones he doesn’t want you to see, locked away. He’d draw you happily if you ever implied you wanted him to.

if you've ever wondered how to record/stream Nintendo DS gameplay and you have a Wii U collecting dust somewhere, consider Wii U Homebrew...

wiiu.hacks.guide <- do this

early on you'll be prompted to make a NAND backup (that's the Wii U's internal storage), so if you have a 32GB Wii U, you should use an SD card with more than 32 GB of free space. also be sure to:

install the SDCafiine plugin on the guide's "Finalizing Setup" page (or get it while downloading Aroma). this is a mod manager, so we'll be able to add a "pixel perfect" mod to DS Virtual Console games

download 01_sigpatches.rpx and place it in the wiiu/environments/aroma/modules/setup folder on the SD card. this allows unsigned games to launch

download + unzip NUSspli-x.xxx-Aroma.zip and move NUSspli.wuhb to the wiiu/apps folder

with the SD card in the Wii U, turn on the console and launch NUSspli from the Wii U menu. search the downloadable titles; if the DS VC game you want is available there (or here), take note of the 16-digit "title ID" associated with the game as you install it. if your game isn't there, you'll need to use something like the Ultimate Wii U Virtual Console Injector (for Windows):

first, check this Wii U VC NDS Compatibility List to make sure the game isn't incompatible (DSi enhanced games won't work, for example)

follow the UWUVCI Nintendo DS Inject Guide-- you'll be prompted for a "Wii U Common Key", which you can get from your nand backup, and a "Title Key" for whichever random base game you'll be injecting your NDS rom into (googling "wii u title keys" should point you in the right direction)

now that it's packaged in the SD card's install/ folder, you should be able to use NUSspli to install your injected DS VC game! you'll have the option of installing either to NAND or external USB storage. (supposedly there's some risk in installing to NAND, but the other option requires USB storage that's fully formatted to Nintendo's proprietary format-- no partitioning-- so just do what works best for you 😮‍💨)

finally, for pixel-perfect screen layouts, get the Pixel Perfect Layouts mod by HEYimHeroic (download link). the SD card layout will be sd:/wiiu/sdcafiine/XXXX/Pixel Perfect Layouts by HEYimHeroic/content/... with XXXX being replaced with the game's title ID (no dash). if you don't know an installed game's title ID, you can check by finding the game in the SaveMii homebrew app.

now the game should have some nice and crisp display options, plus you can make great use of the Wii U gamepad's touch screen for games like Trauma Center and Ouendan! (keep in mind, though, that microphone features may or may not work depending on the game?)

hello hi hi..! could i ask what the best way to get into voice acting is? or your personal experience?

prepare for an essay, i got a lot for you!

- don’t let age stop you. i started at 14 and started getting my IMDB credits at 14 too. i started with a usb microphone and a pair of beats.

- Casting call club is your best friend. It has tons of projects that you can audition for, lots of them unpaid/fan projects but very good experience!! and they’re fun

- don’t get a bunch of crazy equipment just yet. all you need at the start is a simple USB microphone and a pop filter. I always recommend the Samson c01u pro. It was $60 USD when I got it but maybe that’s changed…

- Talking to yourself counts as practice.

- Use your body. It isn’t just speaking into a microphone. It’s like full body acting, just staying in the same spot. Your face will change and your arms should want to move!

- Impressions are NOT the same thing. If you can’t do any, it doesn’t matter! I can’t do ANY! It’s about emotion. Same thing with if you can’t make your voice higher or lower- it doesn’t really matter. It’s your emotional range that’s important.

- Lastly, try to have a decent standard for auditioning. Don’t audition for projects that don’t even give you lines, for example. Or something with no description at all. Besides casting call club, twitter is another good place to find calls!

There are many different types of microphones on the market, but when it comes to dynamic USB microphones, there are only a few that stand out from the rest. In this blog post, we will take a look at some of the best dynamic USB microphones available and review them for you.

We will also provide a buying guide to help you choose the right microphone for your needs, and answer some of the most common questions about dynamic USB mics. There are tons of USB microphones available but most of those comes with a condenser capsule, which is not ideal for some conditions.

So, dynamic capsule is pretty helpful in noisy conditions. So we’re specifically focusing on some of the top dynamic USB microphone for all budgets.

When you’re just starting out, USB microphones are a great option because they’re easy to use and don’t require any special equipment. Also known as digital or “plug and play” mics, they are one of the most popular types of microphones among podcasters.

My brother ransacked my room. I cost him a job, prevented him from sleeping, and jacked up his phone bill.

New account for anonymity sake. Let's set the scene. It's 2010, I had just turned 18 and spent a long summer week away from home enjoying my new freedom to come and go from my parent's house as I pleased. During the week I crashed at friends' houses, went camping with other friends, video games, and all the cigarettes and tobacco products and snacks me and my friends could afford.

My meth addicted brother (27), I'll be referring to him as Mack, who thought he was going to make it big in the music scene because of of all the different drugs he was willing to do. He thought being on acid made him play as well as Jimi Hendrix because Hendrix did acid. This is relevant because in one of his many drug induced rampages, Mack was convinced his USB microphone was in my room. So Mack knocks on the door while I'm away, convinces my dad that he was recording in my room and left it in there. It was never in there. He was never there. My dad was so wrapped around Mack's manipulative finger that he never questioned anything he did. I kept careful inventory of my room because my parents and siblings would steal from me all the time and try to use my bedroom as a storage room for all sorts of things. Thinking back, his excuse was likely just to steal from me like the rest of my family did.

Mack goes into my room, tosses the place like out of movie scene during one of his notorious benders. He flips the mattress. Empties out every dresser drawer onto the floor. Nothing was left the way I had left it. After all was said and done I had to spend 3 days cleaning and reorganizing my room because of how badly this tweaker destroyed everything of mine. Things were broken, clothes everywhere, bins and boxes dumped on the floor. It was like a tornado had rampaged through a trailer park in Iowa. My dad had heard all of this going on and did nothing.

I showed my dad the mess. Dad just shrugs at me and says "He's in his 20s, what do you expect me to do?" "How about fucking stop his strung out ass from tossing the place? How about at least calling him to have him clean up his mess?" I replied. He practically ignored me and before walking off says "He was looking for his microphone and you need to just deal with it." Going to my mom was no different. Mom was so terrorized by him that she wanted no part of anything involving him because she felt unsafe. I can't blame her. He became aggressive when challenged on anything he did wrong.

Realizing nothing was going to be done by my parents and this was no matter to call the police over since Dad let him in the house, I did exactly what my dad said and dealt with it. I tried to be 'diplomatic' at first and asked him to come clean up my room. He laughs, makes fun of me, then says "I needed my microphone." I asked if he found it, I know he didn't because I knew where it was. Over in my dad's garage. He never answered. I scooped up the microphone to hide it even better. Stuffed into the rafters of an old shed on the outskirts of the property, inside of a large PVC pipe stacked up with other pipes. It's where he went to smoke his meth sometimes so I knew he wouldn't be looking for it there due to the paranoia of being caught by any of us. I gave Mack one final warning text to 'Clean it up or else'. He again made fun of me, "Crybaby bitch! How difficult is it to clean your own room? You're just a lazy piece of shit!" The last one really torqued me because he was a thief and did everything he could to get out of work.

Later that night I decided to do my best Tom Petty impression.

I leave my parents' house to sit around a campfire at a friend's house. I waited until I left because then Mack couldn't find me, neither could my dad. I knew my dad was going to simp for him and defend him yet again. I waited until Mack would've been nice and comfortable at home. I lit my first cigarette of the night and promised myself that nothing would stop my ensuing plan until I smoked the whole pack. I had recently learned how to SMS bomb. At the time, you could add the same contact into your SMS app multiple times for a group chat. I believe it was up to 30 on the phone I had. For every 1 SMS/MMS I sent him, he received 30 in total. I spent hours sending messages to Mack. If I had a cigarette in my mouth, I was text bombing him. I spent from 9pm until 4 am sending Mack thousands upon of thousands of text and picture messages. I have now dropped a Hiroshima sized text bomb on the fancy Blackberry he was so proud of buying a week or two before this.

For anyone wondering, it was simply a copy and pasted text that said "This stops when my room is clean" and a picture of the mess he had made. I alternated back and fourth. This took very little effort and left him inundated with notifications every 1-3 seconds. This effectively DDoSed his phone into oblivion. It was locked up tighter than New York subway car. He could not call, text, or even open anything on his phone other than my text messages.

Dad starts frantically calling me around 1am. I ignored it. Then my mom calls me and leaves a voicemail for me to call him. Worried it's an emergency, I call dad back. Dad picks up the phone, screaming at me "His phone is locked up and he can't use it! You need to stop this RIGHT FUCKING NOW!" I replied "He needs to go and clean up the mess he made of my room RIGHT FUCKING NOW or just deal with it like I have to." The argument continues for a while longer, the entire time he's defending Mack tooth and nail. Eventually I broke it to my dad that there was nothing I could do to stop the flow of messages and notifications. He hung up and never brought it up again.

After the smoke had cleared (pun intended) I found out Mack had his Blackberry locked up for 10 days. He wasn't able to respond to a job offer and wasn't smart enough to leave an alternate contact means. The job went to someone else by the time Mack was able to return their call. He was still going to be stuck at the job he loathed for a while longer. His phone plan had a monthly SMS/MMS and data limit that I absolutely destroyed. The month's bill was over $300, I wanna say closer to $400. His live in girlfriend was also pissed because they had to leave the phone on and plugged into a charger to let it process the messages from my mass messaging campaign the night before. The notifications made the phone unusable and they were stuck listening to the notification sounds for those 10 days. They tried stuffing it inside of a blanket but the phone would get too hot and they were worried it would start on fire. On the counter, plugged in to an outlet it sat. Keeping them awake and annoyed constantly.

Another 2 months roll past, I finally decided he could have his microphone back... Kind of. I took it out of hiding and stuffed it in his keyboard box that was also stored at my parent's house. He found it there not too long after and never even apologized for what he did, not that I ever expected him to. He even bragged about finally finding it. He never went into my room again without my permission out of fear of his phone being locked up again.

TLDR; Bro ransacked my room looking for his microphone that wasn't there. I sent him literally thousands of text messages that made his phone unusable. I cost him a job, 10ish days of sleep lost to constant notifications, hundreds of dollars on his phone bill, and a terrible home life with his GF because of all of that. I also hid his precious microphone for an additional 2 months before giving it back.

Hi, Kat! Fellow UK simmer here - been following you for a while here on tumblr (love your MCC posts), and am currently binging all your YouTube content after recently stumbling across your channel! I have a quick question related to YouTube, if you don’t mind answering, as I’m interested in potentially making some videos of my own. May I ask what software and setup you use to record your videos? As your audio is very good, I presume you use a mic? Your screen recordings are very smooth so I’d be interested in what programme you’re using, although I’m sure your computer has a lot to do with that. I hope my question makes sense! Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello! I don't mind answering at all, I am answering it publically in case anyone else is interested but do feel free to message me if you want to chat in more detail, I'd be happy to talk shop :) I wish I had people to talk to when I started out, I was too intimidated to approach anyone lol!

(and aaaa, I'm flattered to hear you are binging my channel, thank you!! its funny (but nice!) hearing a compliment on my audio bc I am self-concious about it and think it is not the best, hahaha)

I use OBS Studio for recording, which I think is pretty standard. But I do my video editing in Vegas Pro which idk if its common (I think people usually use adobe these days?) but I used a pirated version of Vegas to make AMVs back when I was a teenager so that was what I went with XD

I do have a decent PC but also play with low cc when I am recording for Youtube, as the game runs a little smoother and doesn't lag too much, which I think looks nicer on video! I also delete all my raw footage after I have finished editing/rendering as the files can get pretty big

edit: forgot to include this (idk if useful) but my OBS settings are set to recrod at 60FPS at a resolution of 1920x1018

I do use a mic! My first few videos were just recorded on a cheap bluetooth headset I used for work but the sound quality was pretty bad, haha. TBH I don't know much about mics, my partner is a musician and has a bunch of mics & equipment so I just borrowed his stuff lol! The mic is an Audio Technica AT2020 condenser microphone and its plugged into a M-Audio M-Track Solo USB audio interface (as the mic wouldnt plug into the PC otherwise, the interface also lets you adjust the gain which is nice) but idk if you really need something that fancy. I usually see people reccommend the Yeti mic for YouTube, which doesn't need an audio interface, idk if it is actually good or not but it seems like a popular choice?

Although if you are just starting out, I would not invest in any expensive mics or anything right off the bat - since you want to see if you actually enjoy the process of making videos first before spending any money on it! (For me at least I spend a LOT more time editing footage than recording it, it's very time consuming, although I think some creators do a lot less editing so its a style preference maybe). IMO Just start out with whatever you have and you can always upgrade later.

Also, the main thing I learned quickly which I think helped me about as much as using a better mic was having good "mic discipline". That's like, making sure your head/mouth is always the right sort of distance away from the microphone, making sure its positioned properly, trying to keep the volume you speak consistant, etc. I am still not always the best at this tbh! but am getting better :D

Hope this was useful!! Like I said, please feel free to msg me if you want to chat more about YT stuff :)

#FAQ #oh & the mic has a sock over it. thats the pop filter

Choosing the Best Speaker Phones for Your Conference Needs

Whether you’re conducting a meeting from the office or working remotely, having the right tools can make all the difference. Speaker phones are at the forefront of communication technology, providing a seamless way to stay connected with teams, clients, and partners.

These devices come equipped with advanced technology, such as noise-canceling microphones and high-definition audio output, ensuring crystal-clear conversations. With a good speakerphone, there’s no need to worry about background noise or muffled voices, making it ideal for both small meetings and large conference rooms.

Benefits of a Speakerphone Conference Setup

When setting up a speakerphone conference, having a reliable speakerphone is critical. These devices allow for:

Clear audio quality: The high-quality sound ensures that all participants can hear and be heard without interruptions.

Hands-free operation: Allowing participants to engage in the conversation without the need to hold a device.

Multiple connections: Many speaker phones support multiple call connections, so you can easily bring in different participants from various locations.

Wireless options: Some modern speaker phones come with Bluetooth or USB connectivity, making them compatible with laptops, smartphones, and other devices.

Choosing the Right Speakerphone for Your Conference

When selecting a speaker phone for your conference setup, consider factors such as audio quality, microphone range, and ease of connectivity. A speakerphone with a wide pickup range will ensure that everyone in the room can contribute to the conversation, while wireless options offer flexibility in setting up your meeting space.

For businesses in India, investing in high-quality speaker phones can make a significant difference in communication efficiency. Headsets India offers a range of top-notch speakerphone solutions designed to meet the needs of any business, ensuring smooth and productive conference calls every time.
