The Podcaster's Guide to a Visible Voice

Buying Podcasting Mics and a User Guide - EP 30


Listen Later

Most mics can be plug and play for podcasting, but you do need a user guide before you make that investment and to even know how to use it properly for optimal sound.

In this episode, let's dive into some general ideas on mic techniques, which mics I would recommend and why, to ultimately have you sound optimal with the mic you’re using!

Resources mentioned in the episode:

  • If you’re in Canada, check out your local Long & McQuade store to find your podcast equipment!

  • My Top 3 mic recommendations are:  (1) Samson Q2U, (2) Shure MV7 (Shure SM7B is the big brother mic), (3) Shure SM58
