Make sure the webcam camera is centred atop your display/monitor. To adjust how the webcam software 'sees' you, tilt the screen (or your stand-alone webcam).
Headphones deliver a spatial audio experience, enchantingly different from the 'sweet spots' you will find moving around a display/monitor with fixed speakers (bend your knees — stand on tippy-toes — listen to the sounds shift; also move toward & away from the screen to gradually adjust the volume up & down — you are inside an evolving soundscape built with responsive & independent sonic elements — go to whatever attracts your ear).
go slowly...
move tai chi-like around story trees...
To get a sense for how the sounds can be shaped & blend together watch the video below
