Bad vs Good Audio Quality

Poor audio quality affects video performance. So, give your video a chance to be heard with professional, high-quality audio and voice-over.

In a recent experiment, people rated a physicist’s talk at a scientific conference as 19.3% better when they listened to it in high-quality audio vs slightly distorted, echo-prone audio.

So, you can now understand that when audio quality is high, people judge the content as better and more important. They also judge the speaker as more intelligent, competent, and likeable.

Since the audience associates the message with the speaker, a hard-to-understand speaker lowers our impression of the message, let alone the product.

University research revealed that people think that when you sound native, you also sound smarter!

Even if this statement is bias and based on stereotypes, it reveals the unconscious thought process of consumers. It might also reveal the reason why videos with voice-overs perform so much better than subtitled ones.
