The hands-free headphones you get with your mobile phone has a really good microphone that you can use
You can record the audio on your phone and add it to the video when you’re editing it
Always test the sounds and video quality first before doing the real thing
Put your phone on silent and in airplane mode before you record video or audio so you don’t get interrupted half-way through!
If you wear glasses take them off if possible so there is no reflection in your eyes
Lots of video sharing platforms have their own music library
And did you know @BBC has a free sounds effects library for non-commercial content use
