You're busy.
Youβve got stuff to do. I get it.
Which is why Iβm obsessed with only including the most valuable info in my courses, so you can learn what you need as fast as possible.
#02 ββββββ
Youβre lost.
You know what a microphone is, but thatβs about it. Sound on point? Good. Youβre in the right place.
This course starts with the fundamentals, then digs deep into practical tips and products.
#03 ββββββ
Youβre on a budget.
Whatβd you have for lunch? PB&J? Or was it something with truffles?
Doesnβt matter. Either way Iβll show you a mic setup thatβll fit your budget and make your audio sound pro-fesh.

Hands down one of the best instructional videos I've seen.
Clear, cogent, intense β and funny. Mary, you're like that teacher at school you never forget.

OK, I'm gonna simp out a bit.
After watching 10 million tutorials, hands down you're the smoothest and did the best job explaining. πππ

This is the best, no-frills explanation on YouTube.
You have no idea how annoying it can be (or maybe you do) when you just want a quick and helpful tutorial with great humor. SO THANK YOU.

Meet your teacher. π
Hey, y'all! I'm Mary. I'm a creative director who especially loves video.
Right now I make YouTube documentaries investigating shady money-makers, but in the past I've run a wedding-video business called Thick & Thin Films and a marketing agency called Forward Films with my husband Myles.
And on a personal note, I'm highly excitable by mockumentaries, rescue animals and BeyonceΜ.
