Microphones tend to come in two different form factors: headsets and stand alone. Microphones are grouped into how they pick up sound. The most common are unidirectional. Unidirectional picks up sound from one or more small, focused areas whereas the uncommon omnidirectional picks up sound from nearly every direction.<ref>http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/apr08/articles/technotes.htm</ref><ref>http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/may08/articles/technotes.htm</ref><ref>http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/jun08/articles/technotes.htm</ref> | ||

Vodcasting does not have to be a solo experience. Using such services as [http://www.skype.com/en/ Skype] or [https://plus.google.com/ Google+ Hangouts]<ref>http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/index.html</ref> a group can create a vodcast together remotely, over the internet. In the case of Google+ Hangouts', the Hangout can be recorded automatically without the need for further editing or software. Skype, on the other hand, does require a separate program like [http://www.evaer.com/ Evaer] to record the video and audio of the Skype call, which can then be edited in a different program.<ref>http://www.evaer.com/</ref> | Vodcasting does not have to be a solo experience.
