I’m filming myself to gain exposure… but not too much!
Huh? Huh?!

I do run from the soundboard whenever possible. Unfortunately some clubs don’t want you to and since their review of me determines if I work there again, well… I don’t push it.
The lav works really well 90% of the time.

Thank you all for your replies. Very helpful!
Re: audio, I actually have bee using the lav into my phone method for quite some time, coupled with a zoom recorder in the audience. For the most part it works well, and the lav surprisingly picks up the audience well on its own. The drawback to this is sometimes the monitor speaker that is pointed toward myself on stage causes echo.

Thank you for your response. Of course I didn’t provide enough information. I travel extensively doing comedy, and can’t hire someone to shoot in every town. Also, these clips are to send to booking agents and manages and some light promo – so video quality doesn’t have to be impeccable. Most bookers say “…as long as I can see your face I don’t can’t what it looks like. I really just need to be able to hear it.”
So I’m thinking of picking up a DSLR camera at Best Buy or possible a camcorder – if I can’t grind a DSLR that can film 30-mins. Any tips on helping my face not show up as a white blob? ISO settings?
Thanks and sorry again for the lack of initial info.

Everything has already been recorded, and is as descrbed above. So now what im trying to determine is what audio should I focus on improving? Clear audio with low volume or audio with a lot of background noise but normal volume levels?

The lower recording is very clear but peaks at about -30db. The average recording is from the internal mic of the camera, so it comes with the quality you’d expect (slight echo, a little tinny).

Thank you, I will try both… as soon as I can find the editing forum.
