Who this course is for:
- This course is for anyone who creates videos that aren’t silent!
- This course is for beginner and advanced videographers
- This course is not for professional sound recordists who already have experience working with lavalier and shotgun microphones
What you’ll learn:Â
- Improve the quality of your videos and get more sales, downloads, views etc.
- Record professional quality audio for your videos
- Feel comfortable with all of the relevant audio equipment
- Learn the best techniques and tricks for using microphones
- Understand basic audio recording principles
- Feel at ease with microphones and recording techniques
- Make your videos more immersive and realistic with good audio
Requirements:Â
- You will need a video recording device to make your videos
- You will need a small budget to purchase or rent a microphone (ideally $10 or more but can de done for less)
- You will need a willingness to learn and participate in the activities in the course!
Poor audio can make your video look and sound amateur. Good audio can make your videos professional and engaging.
By the end of this course, you will feel completely comfortable with audio equipment. You will know exactly what to do to get a great sound every time.
Just imagine that feeling when your videos become effortlessly professional thanks to amazing audio. No more second-guessing your use of microphones and recording equipment… and no more time wasted seeking good information online.
Before we continue, let me tell you a bit more about myself. I’ve worked on film sets as part of the sound team for adverts, short films, feature films and more. During my time I’ve worked with some of the top professionals in the industry.
I’ve worked with (and been taught by) boom operators and sound recordists that have worked on large budget feature films (such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Clash of the Titans, Layer Cake, Shaun of the Dead, World War Z) and popular TV shows (such as Ricky Gervais’ Extras and Gavin & Stacey). They, in turn, learned from some of the top Hollywood sound guys and legends!
Now I want to pass these techniques and tricks on to you in this course so that you can get a great sound in any location.
I want to transform you into an awesome sound recordist and microphone operator.
If you record any kind of videos you can benefit greatly from this course.
However, this course is not for you if you already have years of experience recording audio using shotgun and lavalier mics, or already work professionally as a boom operator or sound recordist.
And this course is not for you if you don’t appreciate the importance of high-quality audio.
BUT if you make videos and you care about good quality, I want you to join me. Take this course and shortcut your way to audio mastery!
After completing this course you will be able to focus on your content rather than worrying about the sound. In turn, this will get you more views, downloads, sales, streams – whatever it is you are after!
Everyone wins 🙂
Here is a taster of some of the things that you will learn in the course:
– The challenges that you will face when recording sound on location
– The different microphones and how to use them
– How to get a great sound regardless of your budget (even a $1 lapel mic is better than nothing!)
– What equipment and accessories to buy or rent
– The right way to set up your recording and record at the highest quality
– The recording processes that professionals use to prevent mistakes
– What to do when it all goes wrong and your audio sounds awful or is lost
– Why most people ruin their audio with EQ and compression (and what you should be doing instead)
– How to make sure your audio and video are perfectly in sync every time (it’s actually really easy when you know how)
– How to make your video more immersive with sound design
– and a whole lot more!
