With all of our churches closed, many have turned to YouTube or live-streaming of church messages. After listening to many of them, there is a sound quality issue I want to bring up. Many of the videos I have seen and heard, sound like there were recorded in a cave – a bad room. If you are limited in the quality of the room, perhaps you can use cardboard tubes to get the best sound quality out of your message. Adding carpet on the floor will quiet the room down, but often it makes the room bassy sounding. To balance that out, add the tubes on all the walls, as shown in the photo below.
You don’t have to be as fancy as this, but getting the best clarity in your voice is important in communicating such an important message online.
This is the most effective to make the space you are working in to have a sound quality that most people are accustomed to hearing every day. If you are like me, when the sound on my favorite shows is of poor quality, I switch to something else in the first 30 seconds. Good sound is more important than a good picture.
