Would you like to add a more professional presentation on your YouTube videos?
Have you admired the audio backgrounds on other people’s channels?
Did you wonder how you could get audio, too, but without worrying about getting a copyright claim?
Good news! Adding audio is easier than you think.
Did you know that there are copyright free, royalty free audio tracks that you can access and download within your YouTube Studio?
Many people, including myself, like having background music behind the talking videos.
.
To find the audios in YouTube Studio, you actually have to scroll down on the left hand menu to access the free audios.
Once you are in the audio interface, you can see the lists of sound effects and audios. You can search for length, genre, mood and artist.
Some audios require attribution with a link required on your video, while others do not. Make sure you copy and paste the attribution in the description of your video.
You can listen to the audios before you download them. When you find ones you like, mouse over the date added and you will see the download button. Click and it will download into your download folder.
I actually like adding an audio background track for when I’m talking a lot. It keeps things pleasant and calm, especially when talking about technical things. Have fun experimenting!
