How To Make A Live Show
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
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?
iTunes
Miro
RSS
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.
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!
Great show Sarah! Why are you using the name Sarah Austin now?
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!
Nice “behind the scenes” episode, Sarah! :D
What audio mixer do you use?
I mean, when you say midi; what do you mean?
I mean… In the video when you say midi; what do you mean?
Hey Sarah great show!
Sarah Austin?
you look more like a Meyers, than an Austin
lol - you change your name, and it seems like everything wrecks into havoc
@steve that’s my real lame. @lawrence, sorry, it will be just fine in 6 months right?
@ftw bears brb while I go look up that information. I can get it and post it here soon. I have to go get ready to film the live show, but after the live show is over today ill post around 4pm.
How do you green screen?
What kind of cable do you use to bring the camera and background together with the websites behind you?
good stuff like usual.
