Why does good sound quality matter for videos?
You know that your business needs a boost, and creating videos that showcase what you do is a great way to start since YouTube is the #2 search engine after Google. It may seem easy to use your iPhone or even ask a friend with a nice camera or camcorder to help you out, but you might not know how to make sure your video has the best quality. Today we’re talking about why having good sound quality is important. Watch the video filmed by Photo by Skeebo below, or read on to catch the highlights.

The difference between microphones
In the video, we’ll demonstrate the difference between the microphone on your camera or iPhone versus using a boom mic or lavalier (lapel mic). This video hasn’t been edited to change the sound quality in any way, and you can tell the difference not only in volume levels but also in the sound quality. Although the iPhone was louder, you’ll notice an echo effect that you’ll get in a large room. Using professional mics and knowing how to sync the recordings to your video is key to get the best sound quality possible.
Tuning out the background noise
Another good reason to use a professional videographer to shoot your video is that the microphones used will help capture only what you want the viewers to hear. Using a phone not only looks unprofessional, it also records more background noise that will be more difficult, if not impossible, to take out in post-production. You can’t edit out that coffee grinder or interruption entirely, and trying to drown it out with cheesy music or other effects is distracting to the viewer.
Make sure your message is heard loud and clear
