Panasonic Lumix: amzn.to/37P3Mo3
The camera I use Expensive & high quality. You do not need one. You can shoot with your smartphone camera. I prefer a DSLR camera.
Zoom H6: amzn.to/34z7wIl
High end sound quality. I plug my microphone into this recorder and connect the recorder directly to the camera. You do not have to do this shoot a decent self-tape. It's my personal preference. Expensive.
ATR 2100: amzn.to/35PcEbg
Excellent USB microphone

Great DSLR camera. Reasonably priced. I own one as well as the Panasonic Lumix.

You can shoot with ring lights. I prefer softbox lighting. It offers me greater control over how I look on camera.
Elgato Green Screen: amzn.to/2R3TZog
I shoot everything in green screen and choose a appropriate background image color for my auditions. Definitely not necessary. But, it's the way I roll.
Amazon Tripod: amzn.to/2OSu00g
Awesome tripod. Best bang for your buck. I own four of them.

Was designed for external use with a smartphone. Good. Right now, the Blue Yeti (below) is my preference.
