Meet Your Guide — Sara Dietschy
I know how overwhelming it can feel to get your setup right. The gear. The lighting. The camera settings. The YouTube rabbit holes that leave you more confused than when you started. I've been there — trying to make everything look pro, sound great, and just work.
I'm Sara Dietschy — a YouTuber and podcaster who's spent the last decade building every kind of studio setup you can imagine, from scrappy desk rigs to high-end multi-cam podcast sets. I've interviewed people like Mark Zuckerberg, Garry Tan, MKBHD, and Linus Tech Tips — and trust me, even then, the tech stuff didn't always go smoothly.
After years of trial and error, I've figured out how to skip the confusion and build setups that look amazing and run smoothly — whether it's for Zoom, YouTube, or a full-blown podcast. I've spent years figuring out what gear actually works, how to set it up fast, and how to use that setup to create content that gets attention and pays off — literally.
Studio Setup is exactly what I wish existed when I was starting out — for myself and my small content team.

Real Creators. Real Results.
Content Creator
“I found studio setup after I'd already tried to "figure this out" on my own, and realized I simply wasn't going to get there without some expert advice. Not only did the course teach me about camera angles, setup, and lighting, but I was impressed by the commitment Sara had to making sure we got more than our money's worth out of the course. Whether it was feedback on how to improve my framing and lighting, ideas on how to reduce reflections, or ideas on how to fix my color balance when using my new setup for live streaming, Sara has been committed to making sure I was successful. The discord community has been a great value add as well, because not only can I get feedback from Sara but from other folks who're on a similar journey - we're all learning from each other.”
Terrance Washington
YouTuber / Podcaster
“I never thought my setup would come close to the setup and look I hoped for as a young (In YouTube years) content creator. Your tutorials gave me an excellent base to dial in the recommended gear I needed for my studio whether it was helping with my lighting for my background setup, your patience and care with not just me but all of the creators with questions, built confidence within myself and the community among other creators with diverse backgrounds, all moving towards a common goal of improving our setups. Thanks so much, Sara.”
Podcaster
“Sara's Studio Setup course paid for itself in the first hour. With just a few adjustments, I fixed the problems I was having with my key lights, added a hair light, and changed a few of my camera settings. I had been trying to fix these issues all year but couldn't find simple solutions until Sara's course. Her video lessons as well as the written instructions are focused and detailed, making it easy to find what you're looking for. I also really appreciate her gear recommendations (just the right amount, not a laundry list). I'll be coming back to her course content often as I continue to upgrade my studio!”

“I am not a professional vlogger, podcastor or YouTuber. I am just an old guy (age 72) who wanted to learn more about looking professional in meetings and in videos. Enter Sara’s Studio Setup. I learned some little tips and big tips that have already made my appearance on camera look more professional. I learned about equipment that helps, about lighting, camera settings and more.
For example when doing videos I had my camera set to auto for all these years only to discover that going manual makes a big difference just like it does for photos. To get the most out of the course not only watch the Sara’s videos but carefully read all the written information then go back and forth to absorb it all. Now that I have absorbed much of the “Zoom Ready Studio Setup” information I will upgrade to the “Overkill Studio Setup” to learn even more. I want to dial things in to look even better.
Even if you think you know a lot I bet you will learn a few tricks and gain comfort in having what you know affirmed. Check out Studio Setup.”
Author / Content Creator / Cybersecurity Leader
“Before discovering Sara Dietschy's program, my videos looked amateur despite having decent equipment. I was that person who thought buying an expensive camera would automatically make my content look professional—I couldn't have been more wrong. Sara's course completely transformed my understanding of what makes videos truly cinematic, especially through her 'Overkill Setup' module which was a game-changer… The transformation in my video quality has been dramatic, and while the Overkill Setup showed me what's possible with high-end production, Sara also taught me how to scale these concepts to my budget. Her teaching style is refreshingly practical and ego-free… Studio Setup isn't just another course—it's a comprehensive masterclass that takes you from basic to 'overkill' professional level, giving me the confidence and skills to create content that finally matches my creative vision.”
