🔊 Get our Ultimate Podcasting Gear Guide: https://www.thepodcasthost.com/resourceguide I walk you through my complete video podcasting lighting setup - even a few tweaks can make a huge difference to the quality of your recordings. I demonstrate two different setups - one for my main recording area with a colorful background, and another with a black backdrop for a different visual style. I show all the equipment I use, from professional LED lights with soft boxes and grids to affordable DIY solutions like standard lamps and custom bulbs. You'll see how I use Philips Hue smart lighting to create colorful backdrops, Ikea strip lights for highlighting shelving, and how I position each light to create the perfect illumination. Whether you're doing online calls or in-person podcast recordings, I share practical tips on lighting placement, color temperature, and creating depth in your recording space - all with options for various budgets. - Gear mentioned - Neweer LED Panel Lights - https://amzn.to/3Dd4Iak Softbox Attachment - https://amzn.to/41LKwpH Grid Attachment - https://amzn.to/43cjNDG Ikea strip LED lights - from Ikea!
