For our entry level classes we are not expecting students to have an existing home recording setup or top shelf webcam. If you have a laptop or iPad with webcam and microphone included that will do just fine for business classes or Foundations classes. If you do have a USB microphone or home studio setup then that just means the instructor can get a better understanding of your voice and delivery. If you plan to take a few online courses it’s highly recommended that you invest in some basic gear including a microphone, headphones, mic and music stand, maybe even some recording software.
