Being a standout virtual speaker doesn’t require high end equipment, but it does require a few good tools, new skills and a lot of practice.
Microphone - a lapel mic will give you the freedom to back away from the computer and use some body language to communicate.
Boya BY-M1 lapel mic - Affordable, simple to use, 20 ft cord allows you to move around, and good sound quality for the price. If you are using this with a cell phone, you will need this adapter
OPSO Lighting to 3.5 Adapter
RODE Wireless Go Wireless -- this is the higher end option
Lighting -- natural light is always the best -- but if you need some additional light (and most of us do) check out these options:
Newer Ring Light with stand and cellphone holder - great option for virtual speaker
QIYA Ring light - this desktop, smaller version ring light is great for small spaces and comes with a remote. Fun feature
LituFoto Light - this is the lighting I use. I love using two of these for maximum light.
Camera - laptop cameras are not known for being outstanding. Here are a few of the best in various price ranges:
Logitech Brio Ultra HD webcam - a little pricey, but typically considered among the best
Wansview Webcam 1080p- good camera for a low price.
AverMedia 1080p Webcam - a great mid range webcam
