Got questions? We're here to help.
Do you provide lighting and camera equipment?
No — gleamtalko is a guidance service. We help you plan, set up and troubleshoot the equipment you already own or hire, rather than supplying gear ourselves.
Can you help with a single episode or only full seasons?
Both. Our Single Session package suits a one-off shoot, while Production Partner is built for teams recording a full run of episodes over time.
What kind of studios do you work with?
From spare rooms and home studios to full television sets. Our recommendations scale to the space, budget and camera package you already have.
How do I book a consultation?
Send us a message through the Contacts page with a little detail about your show and studio, and our team will reply to arrange a time.
