The Science Behind Engaging your Supporters

SEPTEMBER 7, 2018

I noticed that in your videos, music helps progress the storytelling. How do you think about sound when you’re creating a video? Sound inspires me. I’ll be inspired by something visual and then I find the music for it. A lot of the musical elements I include have tried to inform real-life elements.

The next technique that I am exploring in my screencasting/videocasting skill set is the addition of music. I've resisted adding music for three stupid reasons: 1.

This may sound hard, but a clear, concise, key message is vital to creating a successful video. Use the first column for imagery and the second column for audio.

No reason to be afraid: the important part of this definition is that the audio content is syndicated. For sound effects, check out the Freesound Project.

An effective nonprofit video can be as simple as a Flickr photo stream set to an audio track or a really great interview. However, one aspect of quality, sound quality, did warrant mention. Videos should be clear to understand if employing dialogue or music.

Song Reader didn''t come as a CD, or an LP, or a bunch of digital audio files. It is what it sounds like: a book of original sheet music, beautifully designed and complemented with artwork and text. Sheet music is a beautiful analogy for this. The music he listened to on the radio "got its power" from studio techniques.

The reviews of Windows phones were intriguing, but the OS doesn't sound mature yet. Great video and audio. Maybe in a few years. So I bought an HTC Rezound (only available for Verizon). The Rezound is my first Android device. While I'm not finding the OS as intuitive and elegant as Palm's OS, I like it better than Apple's IOS.

Speaking of good audio, I raised this question on the video bloggers listserv and David Tames (who took the photo stills in the video) offered some great tricks here. How to make smooth transitions between music and talking. So, I like let them know.

I particularly like the MP3 experiments , events at which Improv Everywhere distribute an audio file to people for free as a podcast. Participants gather in a physical venue with their own digital audio players, and everyone hits “play” at the same time. The recording starts with two and a half minutes of music without talking.

When you enter, you start the visit by "logging in" at a kiosk that records your name, your voice, your photo, and your favorite color and music genre. When you make an audio mashup, your voice is part of the mix. This may sound gimmicky, but it's incredibly emotionally powerful.

But what works best, music, humor, entertainment, surprise, relatability. It’s focused on music and video effects. And what I do love is that TikTokers, they take trends, they put their own spin on them, and the linked music and the hashtags are kind of the common thread pulling everything together. That sounds cool.
