Home / Home & Office Studio Setup

Home and Office Studio Setup for Talking Head Video in Louisville, KY

Plenty of Louisville business owners know they should be recording regular talking head videos: updates for clients, explainers, sales messages, answers to the questions they get asked every week. Then they try it on a laptop in a bare office, and the echo, the flat light and the cluttered background quietly undercut every word they say.

Studio setup is my answer to that. I come to your office or your home, look at the space you actually have, and design a permanent recording corner that fits it. The right camera, lens, lighting, microphone and backdrop for that room, spec'd to your budget, then installed and tuned, so when you sit down and press record you look and sound like a professional production, because the setup already is one.

You do not need a spare room, and you do not need to be technical. Most of my setups live in a corner of an office or along one wall of a spare bedroom. I dial in the camera presets, leave you a simple start routine and a one page cheat sheet, and recording stops being a project and becomes a habit.

Who this is for

Business owners, consultants, attorneys, realtors and coaches around Louisville, KY who record, or want to record, regular talking head videos for their website, their social media and their clients.

Common questions

Do I need a dedicated room for this?

No. Most of my setups live in a corner of an office, a spare bedroom or along one good wall. What a camera actually needs is a backdrop, controlled light and decent sound, and all three can be built into a corner. On the assessment I will tell you honestly whether your space works, and most spaces do.

What gear will I have to buy?

That depends on your room and your budget, which is why the assessment comes first. I spec one list, camera, lens, lighting, microphone and backdrop, sized to what the space actually needs, with buy once, buy right guidance so you are not replacing cheap gear within the year. I do not sell gear, so the list carries no markup and no house favorites, just what fits your room.

How long does a studio setup take?

The assessment comes first. Then, once your gear is on hand, one setup visit covers the install, the tuning and a test recording, and most setups are finished that day. If your space needs something built, painted or treated first, we will know it from the assessment and plan around it.

I am not technical. Can I actually run this myself?

That is the whole point of the service. I set the camera presets for your room, give you a short start routine, leave a one page cheat sheet for your exact setup, and we shoot a test recording together before I leave. If you can sit down, press record and talk, you can run it.

What if I would rather you just film me?

Then the fit is my talking head homepage videos service, where I bring the mobile studio, film you at your business or on green screen with a virtual set, and handle the camera, the coaching and the edit. Plenty of people start there and add their own setup later, once recording becomes a habit. You will find that service on the Talking Head Homepage Videos page.
