How wide of a camera angle?

I have a 22mm prime, but it's maybe too tight?

The background blur from the 22mm is nice, though. Prime would be great.

15-16mm seems about right.

Brings more of my torso in the shot, allows for a bit more headroom, more opportunity to use the room to get a nice composition.

Conclusion: Try this lens.

Angled camera or straight-on?

I think I slightly prefer the angled look, as it cuts some of the clutter from my office background.

Lighting

I have the key lighting working great, but I need to control the overall brightness in the room.

  • Get a roll-down blackout blind to block light coming in from the door.
  • Get some low lighting down low behind the leather chair that can shoot up and illuminate the back wall.
  • Replace the string lights?

Audio

The Blue condenser mic is great for warm vocals and recording with the mic in the shot.

  • Get an audio interface set up so that I'm not using the Blue USB interface.
    I need a setup for streaming that allows me to move around and sounds better than my lav mic.
