I think most native speakers wouldn't include a "subject" [pro]noun at all in OP's construction...
That's because "Here goes" is an idiomatically standard expression equivalent to "Here I go", used as an exclamation calling attention to the fact that you're about to start doing something. It's often used in contexts where whatever you're doing is spectacular and/or risky.
Including the discourse marker so (or alternatives such as okay, right) is completely optional. But one function of such terms is to give the audience advance warning of a more significant utterance to follow. Since "Here goes" performs much the same role in OP's context, it's quite natural to use both methods (to make absolutely sure you have the full attention of your audience).
