Sound is half the picture! Use these tips, they will really help!

[StevenSmith-nqxe]

No one delivers essential info with more clarity and fun than you. And sound is a topic that I can never, um, hear enough about. Thank you!

[GarethWentzel]

That technique of EQing and bringing down specific frequencies in the music (so they don’t compete with dialogue) is called Notch EQing. A great technique and one that I don’t see used often enough. Combined with ducking, it will help ensure dialogue is the most prominent thing in the mix. Nice video with some great tips.

[leisemedicina]

This is the single most helpful tutorial for audio I've come across in months. Thank you!!

[tim.exalted]

Hugely underrated tutorial - I consider myself a professional but I'm always humbled by these videos and reminded that I can always learn more! Thank you 🙏

[KarthikRaghavarapu]

Wow, Kelsey! Thanks to your tips, my audio is so clear that I might finally hear my cat judging me in the background. Also, I didn't know I needed a mic as close as Billy Eilish until now—it's time to whisper my way to podcast stardom!

[kevin_m]

Shift D - thank you so much for that time saver!

[Darftey]

Incredibly awesome tutorial! Very well structured and informative. Huge, huge thanks!

👍 Audio in Premiere Pro is a nightmare. DaVinci is much easier, but not as technical. Premiere is forcing me to learn video production on a whole other level. This helped a lot.
The TUBE MODELED-COMPRESSOR 5:40 and the PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER 11:19 will help me finish this YouTube short that has a Friday deadline. Looks like I will be early.

[gigapede]

Thank you as always. I'm about to cut footage I shot 20 years ago on my XL1 in SD that I managed to record on a Sennheiser shotgun with a friend on boom so I'm looking forward to using all sorts of techniques you talk about to enhance the sound and video. I appreciate how you used a soft fuzzy ((sound)) for the video sync loss glitches so that they weren't jarring!

[DstickSpearfishing]

Thank you so much Kelsey! This helped me tremendously. Stay safe, have fun!🤗👍

[rodburnette]

I always learn a thing or two. Thanks for taking the time!

[Foodgeek]

I like to add subtle reduction in the in 90 to 150 Hz range (good for my voice) on the background music so it doesn't crowd my voice even when ducking 😊

[tonystizza]

Surprised you didn't include adding "mastering" and from within that "subtle clarity." Learned this from you in a previous video and it is remarkable how just doing that adds sparkle to audio. Terriffic video as always.

[michaelpoczynek]

Very well done, as usual, and very interesting. Thank you so much for the time and energy you put into these videos and for sharing your knowledge. 😀

[MrMel]

Great final fade to black! (and great tut too!)

[maxmagnus]

Pre-selection always beats post production.
First tip we gave voice actors/guests is: smile while creating an audio. It really doesn't work well with the podcasts of today. Too many "Joker faces".
The second one was speak with your diaphragm.
The third one was not going drunk to a gig, but we never really managed to enforce that one.

Back to the topic of the video: all of the settings that you mentioned, they really need to be exported into an external file. (See advice #3 above for more details)

[pumpas]

Great video. Commenting for algorithm and boost of channel. Peace ✌️

[Talkiesart]
