[00:00:00] Speaker 1: For someone just getting started, my setup is probably overkill. A USB microphone like the FDUCE SL40, the Shure MV7 Plus, or something similar makes this much simpler. You can plug it directly into your computer without needing a separate interface, and you can get great audio for much less money. But whatever microphone you're using, just make sure it's close to your mouth and it fits comfortably with your setup. You don't want to be adjusting that for your entire stream. Another great choice for audio could be a wireless microphone. I'm planning to do a whole video that covers wireless microphones, because we get so many comments about it. But something like the RØDE Wireless GO 3 or the DJI Mic Mini can connect directly to your computer over USB. Then you can just wear the microphone on your shirt. I think that's a great option. But keep in mind that you're probably going to get the best sound quality out of the microphones that I mentioned earlier.

USB microphones such as the FDUCE SL40 or Shure MV7 Plus offer a simple, affordable option because they connect directly to a computer without an audio interface. Regardless of the microphone, proper placement close to the mouth and a comfortable setup are essential. Wireless options like the RØDE Wireless GO 3 and DJI Mic Mini can also connect over USB and be worn on a shirt, though the previously mentioned USB microphones will likely deliver better sound quality.
