Every time I do a Facebook Live from my new(ish) studio, I get requests for details on my set-up. Without further ado, here you go!

Microphone.

Audio. Is. Everything. Make sure to invest in a good one. This one blows my mind again and again. I reported from the center of Times Square, New York City and you could hear every word I said clearly with this mic. Worth every penny.

Lighting.

After audio, lighting is essential. I love this kit. It’s a little bulky, but if I can make it work in my 95 square foot space, you can likely make it work anywhere for you!

Backdrop.

I love my backdrop paper. If you have a bigger space you could use fabric, but I think the paper looks sharp and it’s very flat (no wrinkles). If you’re going to have a permanent set-up, I’d really suggest going this way. I’m using “Fashion Grey” as my color. There are many others. But this is the exact roll I bought.

Other Backdrop.

I just ordered a green screen backdrop to go on the other wall, in case I want to get more creative. Here’s exactly what I ordered (same paper and brand, just a different color).
