Music For Vlogs

Two of the most important factors in content creation are content quality and entertainment value. After all, if what you’re watching or listening to isn’t very entertaining, then why would you want to spend much time watching? And if it’s low quality, why not find something better? These are often times something that we all work out in our heads relatively quickly when we’re looking for things to watch, and before a minute has even passed, most of us have already moved on to the next vlog if we aren’t happy with the one we were just watching.

With this in mind, it’s a good idea to start looking for ways to improve your vlog! In this article, we are going to talk about how music for vlogs can be a great, affordable way to both increase the quality of your vlog, and the entertainment value!


Background Music

First we will talk about the relatively simple to add but entertainment increasing background music! Even with how easy often times, it is to choose, this type of track can go a long way when livening up your vlog! For example, travel vlogs are often times filled with moments where the camera is showing anything from unique cityscapes to beautiful countrysides without much talking. These shots can benefit great from the right sort of track that goes with what’s being shown on camera or even the theme of the vlog! 

This can help to avoid dead air in the content that might in some cases create a sort of boring feeling atmosphere, and while there are times where dead air can be good and serve a purpose for certain types of content, you don’t want your viewers getting bored at a portion of the vlog where dead air really shouldn’t be occurring. 

Another great use for this sort of track is helping to add to the feel of your vlog that you want your viewers to experience if it’s themed which can do wonders for both the quality and entertainment value of your content! It’s important though that for this particular reason you take your time in picking the right track because you can end up throwing the experience completely off if you don’t stick with the theme you’ve created when choosing the background music.


Intro Music

The most important part of your vlog and videos is often said to be the beginning as it gives people an idea of what it is going to be about and if it might be something that they will enjoy watching! Intro music can play an important role at the start of the project. It can be very effective at helping to set up the right sort of feel for your vlog, especially if it's a track that fits the theme of the project!  

For example, more intensely themed videos like sports and outdoor activity vlogs can benefit from the intro song being energetic and lively, while business vlogs can benefit from a more positive or high-tech themed track. With the right track, viewers more effectively get a feel for if your vlog is something they're interested in and can even help them reach the right frame of mind for enjoying it!

 

Professionalism 

Every viewer appreciates a professional sense and well put together content, even if your vlog is a laid-back series, and music can be a great way to achieve that sort of content! For example, scene and segment transitions can be made much smoother with transitional music, and a good strong outro track can help end each vlog on a strong professional and enjoyable note!

Consistently using the same tracks in your vlogs can also add the benefit of helping your viewers remember to come back for more of your content if they enjoyed it! For example, using the same intro and outro songs with enjoyable and catchy music can remind your viewers to keep an eye on your YouTube channel to see if you've uploaded a new video! 

 

Overall, music for vlogs can be a great way to take your project to the next level and if you find the right sort of tracks for the right moments, it can make your content more easily and comfortably viewed which everyone watching will appreciate and enjoy!
