What's up y'all?
Welcome back to my channel.
Today I'm going to show you a two person podcast set up.
I'm actually setting up a new podcast for Norris and his brother Nolan.
It's gonna be a good one.
I'll be sure to link it down below.
You should check it out if it's live by now, which hopefully it will be
'cause I'm producing it for them.
That's another thing I have to edit, but I wanted to, um, make sure that
their first episode looked really good to be recorded on video.
As a lot of you know, I've been kind of preaching the importance of video
podcasting, not just audio podcasting, and I think it turned out really well.
And since I just do a solo show, I thought it would be fun to show you what
the two person video set up look like.
So you can either replicate it for yourself or reach out to me if you need
help, uh, creating something similar.
And if you've been watching my channel for a while, you know that in addition to
recommending creators put their podcasts on YouTube, I'm also a big advocate for
creators having something of their own to sell or to promote like a course,
like a membership, like a community that their audiences can find them on.
And today's sponsor, you screen knows a little of something about that.
Hosting a podcast is a lot of fun, but serious creators know that
you've gotta get creative when it comes to making money from one.
One of my favorite ways to expand the potential of my show is by hosting a
membership community to go alongside it.
You screen allows you to launch a paid membership complete
with your own mobile apps.
As well as TV apps like Apple tv, Roku, and Fire tv, which has
a Netflix like look and feel.
You can host private live streams for your members.
Use the built in community feature to chat with your audience and keep them
updated on all of your new content by using the push notification features.
And since all of this lives in your own branded mobile apps, your
membership is in their pockets.
All of these amazing features come together to help you build predictable
recurring revenue that you can rely on to come into your business Month after
month, use screen is perfect for any creator looking to turn their videos
into a true business, from daily vloggers to yoga instructors, educators, news
channels, entertainment based creators, and yes, even podcasters like you and I.
So if you're interested in learning more about memberships and building
recurring revenue, check out you screen.
I'll leave a link down below.
Okay, so this studio actually might look familiar to some of you who've
been watching for a really long time.
This used to be my studio.
It's a pretty small space, but I am really happy with the end result
that we got from this, actually.
So keep that in mind.
If you wanna create a podcast, you don't have a lot of space,
you absolutely can do it.
So first up over here we've got chair one.
So this is the host's desk.
So he's got his nice background with all of his like soccer stuff.
eSports stuff, gaming stuff, whatever.
For the microphone, we've got a short MV seven, which is the
same microphone that I use for my YouTube videos most of the time.
It's a really good, uh, mic.
If you're looking to become a podcaster, I highly recommend it.
It's really easy to use.
And then over here we've got, um, this one's a little bit.
Dusty, but it's a road caster Pro two.
So this device is what the, um, short MV seven plugs into.
And it's, it's essentially a mixer.
Um, it, it records both.
Audio tracks, combines them into one and allows you to edit the audio.
It's a little complicated.
I have a whole video all about that that goes into detail about what exactly
that is, which I'll link up here.
But that's what's in the host station really.
And then he is got his computer and stuff where he has his notes.
So how I went ahead and decided to frame him is I'll hop
over here and we've got my.
Canon R 10 camera with a Sigma 18 through 35 millimeter art lens.
I absolutely love this combo for cameras.
The R 10 is really good if you do podcasts because, so there's
no recording minute to limit.
I guess a lot of other D S L R cameras they.
They, um, zonk out at 29 minutes.
I think it is.
It's a long story why, uh, this one you can record for hours
and hours on end if you need to.
So if you're gonna be talking a lot, R 10 is really great to also contribute
to that or to maximize that power.
I have this thing, it's called a dummy battery.
It looks just like a regular battery, but it's attached to power.
So this means that we can record.
Forever, we can record until the lights go out.
Literally.
Uh, this is something I definitely recommend you get if you're, again, doing
podcasts in particular, but really any YouTube videos, I, I use the dummy battery
route when I record my YouTube videos.
Anything that I know, I'm gonna be talking for longer than 20, 30 minutes.
And then we've got, uh, this shot basically, I think it
looked really nice and, uh, we got a beautiful shot out of it.
So that is camera one.
Okay.
So we actually, the camera that I'm recording this video, it's
a little meta is what we use to record this video or this setting.
So we have this camera.
Which is the Sony Zv one camera.
We have this on top of this little monopod thing.
I'll link all the equipment down below for you.
This is a, it's a really handy little device.
It's like a monopod that you screw onto your desk.
I used to use it all the time for a webcam and just for my vlogging camera.
I sometimes use it.
And we have this propped up on Norris's desk.
Just out of view.
Just out of frame from his shot.
And we have this zoomed in a little bit on where Nolan was sitting.
This camera also does not have a recording limit, I don't believe, and
I also just bought a dummy battery for this as well, so that we can use it.
Um, you know, as long as we need to, same microphone.
This is something that I think is really important.
If you're gonna do a multi-person show, if you can at all help
it having the same microphone.
This one is actually my microphone from my office.
It just sounds a little better.
I think if you have the same exact microphones.
And you're recording in the same recording environment.
Obviously it's not always possible, but luckily we had two of these
and we just have this on a boom pole, which I got from Amazon.
It's pretty cheap.
Um, but we have a couple of these hanging around.
So that's that.
And then this is the setting that we chose for him.
It is pretty basic, but I think it looked really nice, like we've just
got this bright white background, a nice little loveseat couch thing,
and then we have a little bit of.
You know, whatever fake foliage in the background, just to kind of break
up all of the boring white, I think it looked really nice, actually.
He was wearing all black and I think it looked good, you know, against
like the dark colors of his clothing.
Just to have like the bright white background and then something we
did to jazz it up a little bit.
This is a, this is also very cheap.
I think I got this on Amazon like years ago.
Uh, and just left it down here.
Do you use this in your own time?
Yeah.
No, I just left it down here.
It's like a little l e d light and I think that you can do diff different
colors too, uh, with the app, but we just left it on whatever this is.
It's kinda like an ory peachy pinky.
It looked nice, I thought, and it just added a little
bit of dimension to the shot.
This is something that you always wanna think about when you're.
Recording videos is just things that are gonna break up the shot and not
make them look so flat, I suppose.
So, you know, it lit up the side of his face a little bit and gave
it a, gave him a little glow.
He loves to see it.
And then we also, it's daytime right now that we're recording this
kind of behind the scenes, but.
When we recorded the episode, it was evening, so the sun was going
down it, the lighting was a little different, so we just used a
little, let me get up and show you.
This is not per Latasha's safety standards, but Norris just put one
of these l e d panels on a bookshelf.
I would've put it on a stand, uh, to not blow up the house, but this is just
a little l e d light panel by newer.
And you can adjust the dimmer.
So you can make it super bright, not so bright, and you can also adjust
the temperature so you can make it more yellow or more or more white.
We left this on pretty white and kind of like in the middle, I would
say, in terms of brightness, but you just gotta play around with it.
So I think that's it, right?
Um, I went ahead and pressed record on both of the cameras.
Record on the road caster, and then we were left with the two files to edit.
And that's kind of like I said, I have whole, whole video all about the kind of
post-production, which I'll leave up here.
Um, but that's how you set up a two person podcast.
What do you think?
Do you think it looks good?
I think it looks good for our first attempt.
Go check out their new show.
It's all about, actually, let me, let me have Norris tell you what it's all about.
Uh, our show is called Football Furioso.
It's all about, uh, soccer, mostly focusing on the Premier League.
Obviously the Women's World Cup is coming up.
Uh, so really excited about that, covering the Women's World Cup as well.
Uh, and it is just me and my bro just chilling, talking about soccer and.
It's our favorite sport.
We play it a couple times a week.
So, uh, we just figure we spend an hour talking about soccer after we're
done playing, so we might as well just record those conversations.
And that's it.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Let me know if you need help setting up your own show, and I'll leave
links to everything down below.
Thanks again to you screen for sponsoring today's episode, video, whatever this is.
You screen's a really amazing tool.
I highly recommend checking them out.
Make sure to let them know that I sent you, if you did.
And I'll talk to you in my next video.
Bye.
