I hope my journey from shame to shameless inspires you and others not to be ashamed of who you are and to share and celebrate that shamelessly. Here on my channel, you'll find videos on lifestyle, inspiration, fun transformations, techie vids for aspiring geeks, beauty, fashion, and so much more.

FIRST: Fran needs to create a home decor vid, because her space looks so comfy. I caught that vinyl player at the corner. Dope. / SECOND: Fran's hips don't lie. Not never. SHEESH! / THIRD: I've had my lights in the wrong position. Thank you for this! / FOURTH: I love you two together. Can't wait to see more collabs. / FIFTH: I know you've been busy doing the hustle, so I won't complain. I will say how great it is that you're back, and back w/ a Techie Tuesday vid. YUS! Congrats on 400,000+ subscribers!

If heyfranhey Hadn't asked I would never have known this was a question people ask
This was so informational. I also use natural sunlight plus a small ring light to film and I also use my iphone for my voice overs and I email it to myself and download it!
I'm really trying to be a better video maker so thank you so much for these videos :)
This video is a MAJOR KEY. i was taking notes like "okay, i just gotta work with what i got. (:
I learned so much from this one video. Thanks for sharing your tips. My channel needs all the help it can get. I have been using my umbrella lights so wrong. And I never knew about using my iPhone as a mic. WOOW! Thanks so much.
You're a game changer

This was very helpful thanks Maya,Your like very resourceful. I love the fact that you still remember how difficult it was for you when you first started making your videos and that you try and share the things that you've learned over the year to help others!
Maya, I love that you help other people and are willing to share your ways with us. I love that about you and absolutely love your channel! Keep it up!
Maya you are an inspiration, in case you haven't noticed because I seem to stalk you (not in a weird way) you have so much knowledge and I find you so helpful! My inspo x
the decor is gorgeous and the techie advice is awesome. makes me want to do youtube videos
I'm always so excited to see how knowledgeable and talented you are and how willing you are to share your techniques. Giving back gives others the chance at success they need and that's kind of you! May you continue to be blessed, Maya! Oh, and Fran, couldn't get the wax right but still washing face with almond oil and it works BEAUTIFULLY!! Thanks!
I'm distracted by this apartment! So much natural light! It's beautiful!!!

Good morning Maya!I am at work again! Soaking in knowledge from your AWESOME videos for future use for my blog/youtube channel (soon to start). Thank you for the realness and the actual BASICness of this video with you and Fran! Like I know ZERO about this stuff and I honestly learned! Thanks! You're amazingggggggg!
Love these!!! Thank you for Techie Tuesday!!! I benefit all the time!! Love you Maya!
I love how no nonsense and to the point your videos are. Thanks x
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! You are SO smart! sometimes I spend so much time on youtube/google looking for the answers to editing questions, but it's worth it. Then I write it down in my little book, learning how to film/edit is so exciting, there's SO much to learn!
You are awesome… so inspiring and helpful and supportive. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge, wisdom and adventures. :)
This was super helpful to watch and incredibly informative. Wow. Thank you!
This is so helpful! I dig it. I just bought lighting and really excited to try this!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for sharing this info. I'm trying to get myself started, so im searching for as much information as possible to get me on my feet so i can start up loading KZread videos. 😊
Oh Maya, you are the most genuine and helpful beauty I've seen on KZread! Thanks for being so real.
Great video Maya! Learned a lot!
Thanks so much for all the tips and help! These videos help so much!

These have helped me more with my channel than the KZread Creator BootCamp!!Love these! Thanks Maya
Yasssssssss I love how it's an actual conversation!!!! More videos like this would be so much helpful I love tech talks❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad I found your channel!! I'm a fairly new youtuber in Korea and I was worrying about my setup alot as my place in Korea is super small, and I don't even have a table!! My Korean friend actually sent me your other video (about mics). Your videos are SUPER HELPFUL (by far the most clear and thorough explanation on tech I've found). Thanks so much
Woohoo! I'm so glad you showed and explained the lighting setup! Thanks Maya!!!!!
You both are so gorgeous and this was infinitely helpful, what a beautiful room you two filmed in! This makes me want a lighting kit asap
You are the reason why I purchased mine, it coming in soon, I hope it gives me this great result as yours
Love your channel, and these techie videos are so helpful! Thank you.
Thank you for the advice! You girls are great together!
thank you maya for all the info!! i so needed this
I absolutely love the vibe of all the videos on your channel!!
I love these type of videos from you, keep them coming please. They're so helpful.
Thank you so much for this video b/c now you convinced me to go ahead and get a light kit for my videos and using the voice recorder on the iPhone. You are the best!
Awesome video thank you sooo much for sharing Maya!!! I absolutely love all your videos but these Techie Tuesday ones help us all sooo much!!! Many many many thanks!!!! xoxo
OMG! I love your personality sooo much!! You such a wonderful person! And your videos are so helpful! Love from UK!
Awesome info Maya, so simply explained. Fran's space is so beautiful, as is she.
Lmao when you don't have any windows in your room bc your room is in the basement
I love your personality !! It's so dope and , easy to follow. I'm starting up my KZread channel soon and your videos have been the holy grail I needed !
Omg the end of the video about the setting changing after you edit was so helpful. I always wonder why it would change. Now I know
Thank you so much these videos are so helpful :) I can't wait to use these tips !
This was so helpful. Thank you both very much.
These video are so helpful thank you for sharing this!
This was so helpful! Hopefully I'll be able to purchase a good camera and lighting for my videos in the future
Another great informative video! I learn so much from your channel. Thanks!
This is so helpful! Thank you Maya! Never would of thought you used the iPhone voice memo for your voice overs, i generally thought you had a super expensive mic. Such good quality! Thank you so much! Love videography because i am such a creative person i want to try it, but always been confused by how much technyness is involved but your tech tuesdays help me so much! Thank you from a British shameless! :)
Thanks so much. I have been waiting on this video. Also, thanks for the product recommendation, I just received my lighting kit from your amazon page. It works wonderfully. Thanks for helping us be shameless in all that we do. You ROCK!!!!

Thanks to you, I have to call into work today because I stayed up aaaaaalllll night watching your videos! :) Thanks for sharing your gifts and I look forward to meeting you one day soon!
Maya i love your videos! They are always so heplful! Thank you
Thanks I was just wondering about lighting yesterday. I usually use my desk lamp and the lamp from target that looks like a desk lamp but it's a stand and the room is really bright but not me lol. Can't wait to try these tips.
Thank You...I've been wondering about the umbrella lights.
Thank you for theseee! They help me so much!
Yay!! Super helpful and right on time! Thank you for this video!!
Loving the tips xxx thank you Maya
Maya I incorporated your tips into all of my vids had some challenges with the Yellow one using the custom setting on my camera but thanks so much, Basically how it works is I want to learn something and then next week you do it!! Your willingness to be TRANSparent is helping others to TRANSform!!
I have been waiting for this video! Thanks, Maya and congrats on 400K!
This helped sooo much! I know a lot of youtubers who have the lights behind their camera facing directly at them, which I've tried and it hurt my eyes after filming so I just used natural lighting instead
This literally helped me SO MUCH! THANKYOU XXXXXX
LOVE Techie Tuesday and you! Thanks again Maya, you're amazing girl! :) xoxo
I stumbled across your channel last week and instantly remembered you from the 3EG Live Event last year (you must have left a BIG impression)! Anyway, these vids have been SUPER helpful. Self teaching and feeling your way through this stuff has proven tedious. Thanks for all the tips!
Learning so much. Thank you, never leave KZread!
I love Tech Talk, it's so helpful.
Oh my God! Thank You! That audio tec. was everything. I have an audio class and when we did projects I had to use the boom mic and etc. It was so much for me because I had to do it by myself. No bueno...One day I decided to use my phone recorder but when it was all said and done, I didn't know how to get the sound lol...I was so upset. Now I know I can e-mail it to myself...I didn't even know that was an option. Thanks Gurl!
This is actually really helpful! I am planning on getting umbrella lights now
Oh, this helps me out so much! Thank you.
So helpful as always! xo Thx love! Jelly of those huge windows! Such an amazing space! heyfranhey
This has nothing to do with Techie Tuesday BUT your skin looks so dang amazing in this video!!
waking up to see you answered my e-mail AND you posted a video that's gonna help me to film my videos. thank you Maya !
I have these lights and love them!
This was a really helpful video definitely need to invest in some lights. Thanks for this xo
