"Studio Mastery with Junaid Ahmed: From Home Setup to Pro Presence" "134

Junaid Ahmed Home Studio Architect Host of Hacks & Hobbies podcast Father of 4 Kiddos I’ve been creating videos for the past 3 decades, on camcorders, point & shoot, DSLR, and Smartphones. In 2020, like the rest of the world, I started working from home which enabled me to bring all my knowledge around video production, setting up stages and scenes for short films into my own home studio. Within months I had my studio set up to create live streaming content, video podcasting, and showing folks how to set up their home studios from the ground up. I now help others in bringing out their amazing personalities and getting camera-ready. The hardest part of building your studio is learning how to talk in front of the camera. Building my home studio has given me an unfair advantage that you might not be thinking about. When folks see me on their screens in a zoom call they immediately feel my level of sophistication. I automatically command authority and attention from my audience. April
