You basically made a television show all about audio!!! This is super helpful and you’re a boss for making a 21 minute video

[wrstlingyoda]

Thank-you! I have been searching for at least a year to find this specific video! Wish it would’ve shown up in my YouTube feed.

[Acdrop]

Hey! I want to say thanks for making this video especially the effects you use for your audio, I’ve been looking for something like this for sometime and I could never find a video that hooked me like yours. I’m stoked to make the audio on my videos a lot better

[ericdelmar]

I've been following your posts for a year or so, and I've always loved the audio quality--it's simply better than most of the other channels I watch. So even though I don't produce video content, I still wanted to learn how you do it. You break down the issues and the solutions in an easy-to-grasp style. Good stuff, Todd, and thank you.

[dryerasesports]

I just wanted to say thank you for this incredible video. Your explanations are so comprehensive and in depth. I can't thank you enough, best wishes to you!

[Joonudschi]

Real quality audio/video. I love your stuff because I learn a lot from you.

[refuzek]

This has to be one of the best audio videos I've seen on YouTube, well produced video there!

[MrAyrit]

Nicely done. I haven’t spent a lot of time on my audio with filters and such, but this makes me want to play around a little bit more.

[allidyne]

It's amazing because I'm working on this area this month, it's such a great channel, thank you.

[tareqbzour]

U are such a great man ... so humble and informative

[iNblD]

Great video! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Have been hopping around to different videos trying to learn about how to do voiceovers in Premiere for this purpose and this was the best guide on it I've seen.

[JacWilliamsVideo]

Insane quality video sir. Gives me 'Masterclass' vibes + you have a great voice haha

[FullTimeRookiee]

Gosh this audio is so clean and just satisfying to listen to....I love this video.

Thanks so much for making this video. I've been on a search for how to improve my YouTube audio. Now I can finally stop searching and apply this video's lessons..

Gosh...I cant tell you how happy i am right now.

[tonymckeage]

Great Audio Vlog, Great advice & options as always thanks a lot for sharing, have a wonderful week

[DrwGuitarGuy]

Thank you 🙏 sharing your experience is more then needed for me, because I’ve just started working on different ideas for my music channel. And to actually try them I need to record my voice (not the vocals, cause for vocals I’ll probably go for some effects or use natural reverb of the room) and edit it to achieve cleanness and smoothness, so you helped a lot! Cheers!

[airgunsandstuffyorkshire]

This video was super helpful. I will be implementing these tips in future projects. Thank you so much. 😊

[amroz]

Great video Todd, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I am about to start with my first narration and I find your tips very helpful.

[StarWarsTransmissions]

Thanks for this video. Great explanation, tips, and demonstration!

[RicoManila]

The best sound enhancing tutorial. Thank you

Imagine editing a video about editing video. Todd, you're a gem bro - Doing this is easy or fun for nobody.
