Cairns creators… this one’s for you.
Filmed at JB Hi-Fi Cairns, I’m sharing my all-time favourite smartphone microphone, because clear audio is the fastest way to level up your videos.
Most people think it’s all about the camera.
But the truth is simple: your audience will forgive average visuals… they won’t forgive bad sound.
Why a microphone matters:
• Makes your voice crisp, clear and professional
• Cuts out background noise (hello busy stores, offices and outdoors)
• Helps keep viewers watching longer
• Instantly boosts trust and authority
• Perfect for Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, interviews and online courses
If you want to create stronger, more engaging video content right here in Far North Queensland, start with good audio. It’s the smallest tweak with the biggest impact.
Small tweaks = big leaps.

I was thrilled to join the Digital Future of Work panel in Cairns, hosted by Business Chamber Queenslandand Australian Retirement Trust.
My key takeaway and the audience’s favourite tip was simple:
🎓 Get yourself a State Library of Queensland card. It gives you free access to LinkedIn Learning with thousands of courses to boost your digital and creative skills.
It was great to see so many local businesses eager to keep learning, experimenting and leading in this new digital era.

🎥🧡 Behind every rescue is a great story, and our State Emergency Service - Far Northern Region volunteers are now trained to tell it.
Over the weekend they took part in a hands-on video training course, learning how to capture the teamwork, determination and spirit that make the SES what it is. From setting up shots to editing on the go, they’re ready to show what happens behind the scenes.
These new skills will help our Media Team share the action, the emotion and the moments that matter, celebrating the people who keep Queensland safe. 💪

eMotion Video Training & Production
eMotion Video Training & Production was born when two work colleagues and best friends were wanting to leave the pressured life of broadcast media and begun seeking self-employment. When they discovered many Cairns small businesses and entrepreneurs were not promoting themselves via online videos they decided to do something about it; Kirsty Nancarrow and Suzie Cray combined their enormous wealth of international broadcasting and video creation knowledge (after a combined 55 years of experience) into eMotion Video Training & Production.
What sets eMotion Video Traning & Production apart from other courses is the real hands-on experience and mentoring each participant receives during a workshop, whether that be face-to-face or online training. They cover an enormous amount of video concepts from creating story ideas and how to write a script to filming and editing the video on your mobile device.
You are given time to get creative on your own business productions as well as shooting and editing an entire video during the workshop. With free templates and tools to take home after every workshop, your marketing campaign explodes with eMotion Video.
