You’ve watched a YouTube video right?
Let me ask you a question – which matters more, video or audio quality?
… Surprisingly many people think that video quality matters most, but it’s not true.
There’s nothing more annoying than a video with poor audio and nothing more boring to listen to than a speaker who drones on and on.
We’re far more likely to watch an amateur video with great audio than a professionally shot video with poor audio.
In fact, a great sounding voice can make the difference between backers buying into your vision and pledging to your crowdfunding campaign, or just simply clicking off the page.
Don’t get me wrong, I struggle with the quality of my audio and speaking style as much as anyone else out there!
I’ve given boring interviews that probably put people to sleep (Funny, I once got a message from someone who listens to my podcast as they’re falling asleep.).
But, that’s why I decided to bring a voice expert on today!
