May I take a moment to write about microphones?
Amateur videos are easy to pick out for an array of reasons, but one of the easiest ways to spot one is bad audio. How do you know if your audio is bad? The number one way is if you’re using the built-in microphone on your camera.
You might be thinking… I don’t know… sounds pretty good to me.
No. It doesn’t. Investing just a little money in a good quality microphone will improve your videos big time.
