That’s because I’ve switched to a Sennheiser wireless lapel microphone hooked up to my computer via a Focusrite Clarett USB interface.

Second, you’ll notice that the recording doesn’t have a big microphone in the way. Because of the hassles, I abandoned it for several years. I’d used floor-standing green screens in the past, but they were really frustrating for a lot of reasons: wrinkly, tough to get crisp background separation, had to light them separately, took up a lot of space on tripods, etc. I picked up an Elgato retractable green screen that mounts to the wall so that I can pull it down when I’m doing a training class, and roll it back up when I’m doing normal client work: I’m now doing green screen effects on the recordings.

I’m constantly looking for ways to raise my game, so I made some investments this month to take my video class audio & video to the next level.
