+1 to audio quality being important. It's even more important than video quality!

[@ArielBissett]

This is a great series! I know so many people are going to find it super helpful! I kind of wish people didn't feel so stressed about it all, haha! I didn't know anything about filming or editing when I started and I was just like WHATEVS LET ME TALK ABOUT BOOOOKS

[@LeDavidMorris]

Thank you. I discovered Booktube yesterday. I did a serch on You Tube on How to Use booktube, This vedio was in the top ten. I am retired, I appreciate your suggestions,

[@JashanaC]

Omg so helpful! I legit JUST started posting... only two videos in... !

[@labeba]

thank you for the advises i just open my channel i learn new things every day and the audioe will be my priority

[@reeselansangan]

Thanks for being so informative and detailed about your equipment! I haven't really seen anything on RUclips that talked in depth about the details of their filming process. This is really helpful for me as a musician who's also trying to do a bit of Booktube! Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge!

I film all my videos on my iphone 6 plus and I think the quality is fantastic for sitting down vlogs, though I would love to get a vlogging camera in the future if I ever vlog outside. I have a $20 tripod from Officeworks and I use the natural light from my window as living in Australia there is a lot of sunlight most of the time haha Thanks so much for making this series Lauren I'm really looking forward to the rest of the videos! :)

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing all this information! You are wonderful!

[@paperbackstacksss]

Thank you for the pointers, I'm really looking forward to the color grading video!

[@tamara_anne]

Couldn't come at a better time!! I literally just now uploaded my first Booktube video :D

[@mementomoriadam]

Fantastic video ! I've had my channel just under a year and have finally just this week ordered a high quality camera and mic (been using webcam) -- Looking forward to the better quality but you are right - especially with something like booktube that is more conversational than visual, it's all about starting slow and working with what you have .

[@laure-annelatinier2971]

Lovely video as always! And even though I'm not interested in starting a RUclips channel, I found it fascinating how much work goes into it! Makes me appreciate your videos even more!

[@kaya5377]

Thank you so much this was very helpful and gave me enough courage to start my own channel!

[@paradiselostinbooks5076]

I love this video. Even if someone already has a channel, you give AMAZING advice and thoughtful comments about the filming process and how to create quality content.
