Sound is king!
We all watch a lot of tutorial videos, don't we?
I've just clicked on a WA link to a video tutorial and cancelled it after 10 seconds.
Why?

The SOUND was absolutely terrible! It was like listening to someone gargling underwater!
Guys - if you're going to make a video you MUST have GOOD sound. Your laptop's built in Mic is almost certainly not up to the job. It may be fine for skype but it just doesn't cut it for video!
Research has shown that the most important part of a video/movie is the sound. We can put up with poor video quality as long as we can hear what's going on but it doesn't work the other way around! HD video and poor sound = dire video!
So this is just a heads-up if you produce or are thinking of producing a video whether it's a tutorial, a series, a review - yes. particularly a review!, a YT vid or whatever. No matter how high a quality the video is, if the sound is poor, people WILL switch off. I did!
I'm not gonna get into Mics here but you can get a good quality Mic for way less than $100. Apart from pleasing your viewers you'll also retain them! :-) And that's what you're after.
