Is It Time to Re-Record My Intro?
When you first start out, you are not as confident on the microphone, you may be using some "not so great" equipment (like your camera's microphone) and you haven't mastered mixing audio (so your music bed is too loud).
Now 10 episodes later you sound better, and it is noticeable when this great-sounding voice follows the "not so great" intro.
Now, I realize this is not a deal-breaker, but my point is, it's easy to fix. If you're going to use the same script, you just need to re-record your intro, and if you're using a music bed, adjust the volume to an appropriate level (vote with your ears).
My Ideal Intro
For me, the ideal intro has the following format:
- Introduce the SHOW
- Introduce the host
- Introduce the episode
Then GET TO THE CONTENT as quickly as possible.
