Listen "Uplevel Your Audio (Which Mic to Buy)"
Episode Synopsis
We've all been on that Zoom call when that one guy unmutes himself and suddenly you hear a litany of heavy breathing, explosively loud typing, background noise, popping and clicking. Maybe we don't want to admit it to ourselves, but we definitely get a certain idea in our heads about somebody who has bad audio on a Zoom call, right?I think the opposite is true, too. When somebody has really good audio quality and/or video quality, we start to subtly think of that person as being a little bit more professional, a little bit more reasonable...and maybe even having a little bit of star quality to them.
