From Novice to Broadcast Master - 7 Stages of Building your Home Studio - Teacher: Junaid Ahmed

Hello Useful Content Creators, and this intro today is mainly for the people who will be listening to this in audio only. Why is that important for me to mention? Because today we're going to look at Home Studio Buildout. And there's going to be a section in the middle. Where there's going to be a lot of visual references. And the only way you're going to see that is if you go check the video out. Now, this is going to stream to LinkedIn and my personal Facebook, as well as the Relate Studios YouTube page. So go check it out there if you're listening to this audio right now. But if you are content with only hearing and not seeing what we're talking about, you could do that as well. Or you could listen to it twice. You could listen to it here, then go and check it out. In visuals thereafter, but we're going to be talking with a home studio expert and we're going to explore his seven stages of home studio build out and the five things you need to focus on when building out your own home studio. And in the middle, there's going to be a really cool lighting demonstration. So if you want to see that and not just hear it the episode is dropping at noon on the day of release of the audio. So you could hop across at that time to see it live, or you could check it out thereafter. But in the meantime, let's talk about home studio build outs and let's make useful content. Hello and welcome to the Useful Content Podcast, and today we have a new teacher in our useful content classroom, Junaid Ahmed. Hi  Junaid.  Hey, Jima. So awesome to be here.

Uh, so it's, it's great to have you back on. I know you've been doing good stuff in the studio building space. So we came to talk today about some of that, but before we get into that, could you tell the people what you do and how you help your clients make useful  content? absolutely. So what I do is I'm a home studio architect, meaning I help you figure out your lighting, your camera, your microphone, your audio treatment, your room treatment, all basically it's all around. Hey, what gear do I get? There's a ton of questions people throw around. Hey, what camera are you using? What microphone should I get? Uh, what do you have going on with the lighting? Like people are always asking these questions because number one, they're stepping into the space or they've been doing it, but they've been doing it, you know, on their phone because they wanted to get the reps in and get. So I helped them figure out the gear. I helped them design their space. So it resonates with who they are and. Where do they want to take it?  I saw that when you were helping, um, a guy, well, people wouldn't know who this is, but I'm going to call his name anyway. Andy. Andy, with his home studio, you asked a really interesting question. The question you ask is, if you got invited to speak, uh, on the news in 10 minutes, Would you be able to join and look your best?
