What I use to record

Disclaimer: These are not products that you need to have, they are just what I use. Starting a podcast recording on your phone is a perfect way to start out (that’s what I did)! You don’t need fancy equipment to be successful.

These are the exact products I use to record and edit The Girly Girl Podcast. #podcasting

Shure SM7B Vocal Dynamic Microphone for Broadcast, Podcast & Recording, XLR Studio Mic for Music & Speech, Wide-Range Frequency, Warm & Smo

While it is a little pricy, this microphone has been great! At around $400, you can get great sound quality and little to no background noise. I love how customizable it is and the sleek look.
