What gear does Paul Rogers recommend for enhancing audio quality without high costs?

Paul here.

To boost your audio without selling a kidney, here’s what I recommend and use in my content:

• Affordable wireless lav mics – Systems from brands like Hollyland Lark, RØDE, and Sennheiser give you a huge jump in clarity versus your camera or phone mic.
• Simple USB or podcast-style mics – Great if you mostly record at a desk.
• Free software tools – Adobe Podcast/Enhance Speech can turn rough, echoey audio into something close to studio quality in seconds.

Want recs tailored to your setup (phone vs camera, indoor vs outdoor)?
