To
Getting
Started

Get a Good Mic
A USB mic that connects directly to your computer

For 2+ Mics, Get a USB Mixer
To adjust each mic separately, mix them together and send

Get an audio recording program
Like AUDACITY (it’s FREE)

5. 6 Steps to Getting Started
• STEP#4 Edit Lightly
We live in a YouTube world. The “imperfections” give it character
and make it seem “genuine”, “authentic” and “real”.
So keep it real. Just give it a clean beginning and end. And take
out some of the “umms” and “uhhs”, especially those of your guest
(if you want them to look good and push it out to their community.
Perfect shows are perfectly boring.

Get an Online Storage Account

online storage account.
