Prefects VS Hall Monitors | British VS American

Today I sit down to chat with Heather about prefects in the UK and hall monitors in the US!
Sorry for the weird audio in this one; this is the final video where I use a convoluted audio setup of 2 shotgun microphones off axis with a "Mix Assist" to switch mics. It's a great setup when I'm sitting further away from my friend, but when so close, it falls apart hard. The video I shot with my mom a couple weeks back is actually my new audio setup for "collabs" and I'm much happier with the sound. I use an SM7B boomed out of shot which has a cardioid pickup pattern perfect for capturing 2 people sitting close of similar dialogue volume. Next week's video actually features 3 different mics in 8 different setups (I had a lot of fun with it) including some experiments with my new lavalier recording setup. I'm pretty happy with how that one's turning out.

Anywho, thanks for reading up on some little technical difficulties I've had :) I hope you enjoy the video regardless x

Also today's video was guest edited by Luke Cutforth! :D THANKS LUKE    / luke

If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:
