Improve the sound

More frames per second
There are 2 video recording systems: PAL (European) and NTSC (American). The PAL system works at 25fps and 50fps while NTSC works at 30fps and 60fps.
My recommendation is to work at 30fps for a typical YouTube video in which you talk to the camera. Those extra 5fps that you gain from the 25fps of PAL can sometimes be very useful when editing.
And if you plan on shooting a scene in slow motion, whether indoors or outdoors, record at 60fps. This will always give you smoother motion and a more professional finish to your YouTube channel videos.
Sound represents 50% of the final quality of our video and one way to achieve very good sound quality is to use a lavalier microphone, also known as a lapel microphone.
lavalier microphone
This is the best option for several reasons:
Affordable. A good lapel microphone, such as the Rode Smartlav+, can be found for between 40 and 50 euros.
It is placed very close to the sound brazil phone data source and goes completely unnoticed.
You can connect it directly to the camera or, if you want to record shots that are far from the camera, you can connect it to an external recorder and carry it in your pocket, maintaining the highest sound quality at all times.
Reduce echo
Echo is something that can be very annoying and that reduces the quality of YouTube videos, so it is something that, although we cannot eliminate it completely, we should try to minimize it as much as possible.
To reduce echo, fill the room or space around the camera with soft items: cushions, pillows, blankets, etc. This way they will absorb the sound and eliminate the reverberation produced by the walls, ceiling and floor of your recording set.
