Let’s Talk Audio
Don’t overlook sound—it’s just as important as the visuals! Bad audio can really turn people off, so here are a few microphone options and tips to consider:
You can find our microphone recommendations in our Content Day Cheat Sheet!
Lavalier Microphone:
Great for interviews or presentations, these little mics clip onto your clothing and are pretty discreet, perfect for hands-free usage.
Handheld Microphone:
If you’re hosting an interview, a handheld mic lets you engage directly with your subjects.
Boom Microphone:
If you want a cleaner look, a boom mic positioned just out of frame is perfect. It’s fantastic for interviews where you want to keep things tidy.
The “Deadcat” Windscreen:
Filming outside? Wind noise can be a real hassle. To tackle this, consider using a “dead cat” windscreen. It’s a funny name, but it works wonders at reducing wind noise, so your audio stays crisp and clear.
On-Camera Microphone:
For quick shoots on the go, a microphone mounted on your camera can capture decent audio without much hassle.
