Equipment Recommendations and Training

Going the DIY route is an investment if you want your auditions to look good.  You may be starting from scratch, or depending on what you already own or can compile through your actor network you may only need to add a few things to your arsenal.  Wherever you are in that process CEL Studio offers consulting on what products might be best for you.  In addition, once you’ve purchased equipment we offer training to get you started.  Please see our Equipment Consultation and Training rates.

Equipment

When considering gear always keep in mind your budget, your needs and the space in which you are recording.  More gear doesn't mean better results.  The following components are provided as options, depending on your situation.  Some of them are intended to work together and some are not.  To get a better idea of how these components can best serve you, please contact us via our contact page to set up a consultation.  We can then speak with you about the principles of self taping at home or on the road, as well as your specific needs and solutions.  If you are not located in the Twin Cities area we are happy to work with you via Skype or Zoom.
If you decide to purchase any of these items either after a consultation, or without having one, please do so via the provided links.  As an Amazon Associate, CEL Studio benefits from having researched and provided these options to you.
