Resono Pro
I am not kidding when I say that this straw saved my vocal health. It brought my voice back after having had vocal nodules and I still use it almost daily to keep my voice in shape. This tool is amazing at teaching your voice to be as efficient and sustainable as possible. I truly believe that every singer should have the Resono Pro, as it is the best on the market!

Vocalitea
While no tea or cough drops can make you a better singer, I really like the Vocalitea by Rayvox. It tastes delicious and doesn't leave a lasting coat in your throat (like Throat Coat Tea). If you're looking for a great tasting tea that also feels soothing for your voice, look no further!

Shure SM7B (Recording Microphone)
This is the microphone we use for our podcast, as well as singing recordings. This mic is great all around and very versatile. Because of its integrated pop filter, no additional pop filter is needed when using this mic for recordings.

Shure SM58 (Live Microphone)
This is microphone is one of the best (and most budget friendly!) for live performances. I've been using mine for over 12 years, have travelled to many gigs with it and it still works great.

Scarlett 2i2 Interface
I've been using the Focusrite Scarlett interface since day 1 and absolutely love it. You need an interface if you want to record your vocals using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation like GarageBand, Logic Pro X, Protools, Ableton, etc). This is how I record all of my vocals and I couldn't need anything more.

Recording Bundle
If you're looking for an easy and budget friendly way to start recording vocals, this Focusrite bundle is perfect! It comes with a mic, an interface, headphones and an xlr cable - everything you need to record vocals. Please note, the recording software (like GarageBand, Ableton, etc) is not included. This is just all the hardware you need to record vocals.

Microphone Cables
If you need a cable for your microphone, this one is great. It comes in different lengths and will last you a long time!

Pop Filter
If you're recording vocals with a microphone that doesn't already have a pop filter integrated (like the Shure SM7B) then you'll need a pop filter. This one has two layers and is well worth the extra $10 dollars, as single layer pop filters don't work that well... So if you're getting a pop filter, let it be this one!

Headphones
I have used these headphones while recording for years and really like them! These are a great value for a medium budget.

Mackie DLZ Creator Mixer
Looking to start your own podcast? I can't recommend the Mackie DLZ Creator enough! It's super easy to set up and is perfect for podcasting and recording. You could even use this mixer instead of an interface to record vocals and other instruments.

Yamaha CP88 Keyboard
As someone who grew up playing on an upright (acoustic) piano, I always struggled finding an electric keyboard that would feel great to play (weighted keys). I bought and sold many keyboards until I found the CP88. It came with me to every gig I played and I still use it every time I need a keyboard for our podcast/other content. It's not cheap, but it's a really great piece of equipment that you won't have to replace anytime soon.

Gibson Les Paul Standard
This is the electric guitar you see in the background of all of my videos. While I am no guitar expert, I love this guitar. I used it at all my gigs and it never failed me.
