Content Creators Must-Haves!
My recommendations for content creators, offering a curated selection of must-have tools, software, and equipment to elevate their creative projects.
Content Creator Equipment
My recommendations for the best creator equipment from computers, cameras, and microphones to make your content for your livestream the best quality.

For excellent voice clarity or recording instruments, I recommend the Shure MV7 USB Microphone. This was gifted to me, and I have absolutely zero complaints! Sound your best without spending a fortune!
Lighting is everything when doing video work, therefore I recommend investing in studio lights to give the room just the right amount of light that it needs to project the best picture quality to the world!

My Livestreams
I highly encourage you to check out these livestreams. It is a way to get a general idea of how a livestream works on or off of the camera.
Here I am with a recent Livestream on Rumble.com. I recommend giving it a look-over to see how the flow works as well as enjoying the music of the saxophone.
Perhaps you are camera-shy and want to do a livestream without showing your face. Here is a recommended example of a way that you can livestream without ever being on camera and still have a great show!
Livestream Platforms
Youtube is the most popular and used livestream platform for watching lives or if you just want to watch videos.
Rumble is right behind Youtube as far as livestreaming. It is not as popular being that this is a newer platform, however it is growing very rapidly, and definitely a site that is making waves in the livestreaming world.
