How I Run a Solo Live Show (Behind the Scenes of My Production)

You've got the gear. You've planned the show. Now what actually happens when you hit Go Live and you're doing everything yourself?

By Week 4 of building this show from scratch, I'm pulling back the curtain on the real-time production side of running a solo livestream — scene switching, managing overlays and graphics, keeping one eye on the chat while staying present on camera, and handling the unexpected moments that no run of show ever prepares you for.

Whether you're using Ecamm or any other tool, solo production is a skill — and it looks a lot messier from the inside than it does from the outside.

In this episode:

🎬 How I'm switching scenes and managing my layout live
💬 Balancing chat engagement with staying focused on the show
⚡ What to do when things go sideways mid-stream
🛠️ The Ecamm features I'm actually using (and leaning on hard)

This is part of an ongoing series where I'm building a live show from scratch in real time — with plenty of help from the Ecamm Fam.
