How To Make A Live Show

Posted on by Sarah Austin | This entry was posted in Videos and tagged , , , , , . Bookmark the permalink.

I have been getting a lot of emails recently asking me how I make my live show. I’m lucky to have the help of Mogulus and their studio. I also use an N95 phone which I broadcast on to Flixwagon when outside of the studio.

Some of the equipment I use for the live show is not necessary, but adds an extra layer to the production quality compared to streaming right off your laptop (which I also do sometimes as well)

What are some of your favorite gadgets, accessories and software for live streaming?

    I wish someone would pay me to do the “justin” thing. I would lifecast 24/7 if my life would allow it.

    Clintus, O no you wouldn’t! I was 24/7 and OMG it’s a lot of work. It’s soooo much harder than doing edited videos. To do this 24/7 is crazy.

    I bet we will see a lot of people go 24/7. Will we ever see a new Jenni CAM? I bet we will!

    Check out my camera:
    Sony Handycam

    What do you use? I used to lifecast with it too! Sometimes I’ll lifecast from it, but now I usually use a web cam for lifecasting and the handycam for live shows. ;-)

    This is one of my favorite videos of yours Sarah. I love behind the scenes stuff. Thanks for sharing.

  5. sarah says:

    Aww Scott, thanks! My poster got bent! I hope you don’t notice.

    I love the behind the scene stuff too(especially about video production), a Sony Handycam for lifecasting…thought that’s kind of overkilled lol

    BTW, I am still not used to hearing “Sarah Austin”, “Sarah Meyers” roll off the tongue so much easier for me :-p

    Hi Sarah,
    thanks for showing us the gear you use – interesting to see the work that goes into this stuff. The results are pretty slick.

    @cl191, if the camera is overkill then check out my mic: Sennheiser lav mic

    @nomisimple, There are a bunch of mixers, mackies and lights I didn’t get into!

  9. Techman says:

    Great show Sarah! Why are you using the name Sarah Austin now?

  10. sarah says:

    Hey Techman,

    My Dad suggested Meyers a couple of years back ;-)

    It was just a stage name.

    I like Sarah Austin a whole lot better. Hope you all do too!

  11. Nice “behind the scenes” episode, Sarah! :D

  12. FTW Bears says:

    What audio mixer do you use?

  13. FTW Bears says:

    I mean, when you say midi; what do you mean?

  14. FTW Bears says:

    I mean… In the video when you say midi; what do you mean?

  15. Tim says:

    Hey Sarah great show!

  16. steve says:

    Sarah Austin?

  17. Lawrence says:

    you look more like a Meyers, than an Austin

    lol – you change your name, and it seems like everything wrecks into havoc

  18. sarah says:

    @steve that’s my real lame. @lawrence, sorry, it will be just fine in 6 months right?

  19. sarah says:

  21. Jess says:

    What kind of cable do you use to bring the camera and background together with the websites behind you?

  22. dale boyce says:
