Fun with cameras, mics, streaming, and podcasting! Hi, my name is Tom! I'm a lifelong audio/video enthusiast and I started this channel in 2017 as a project to explore everything related to audio and video production! All videos on the channel are made by me, a human, without the use of AI generated assets, editing, or production. The only AI here is my own Average Intelligence. It's my goal for each video to be interesting/helpful/entertaining, but I don't claim to be an expert. You can check out my About page linked below to learn more about my background, both personally and professionally. As a former high school Digital Media teacher, it's fun to help people get excited about creating and learning more about the tools that can help level things up along the way. My channel is open and welcoming to people of all races, ages, genders, and orientations. I’m glad you’re here.
