1. 00:00AI Voice, Music & Sound Design. Audio is half the film — and the cheapest half to get right.
2. 00:07Audiences forgive imperfect visuals and never forgive bad audio.
3. 00:12A generated clip with clean voiceover, a music bed and three sound effects immediately reads as professional.
4. 00:19Voiceover: text-to-speech with pacing punctuation — commas and ellipses control breath.
5. 00:24Music: generate or license a bed; duck it 8-12 dB under the voice.
6. 00:29SFX layers: ambience (room tone), spot effects (footsteps, doors), and transitions (whoosh, impact).
7. 00:34Loudness: master to roughly -14 LUFS for web platforms.
8. 00:39Reference table: Layer, Typical level, Note.
9. 00:44Note: Continuous ambience across a cut is the single strongest trick for making unrelated AI clips feel like one location.

Audiences forgive imperfect visuals and never forgive bad audio. A generated clip with clean voiceover, a music bed and three sound effects immediately reads as professional.

• Voiceover: text-to-speech with pacing punctuation — commas and ellipses control breath.
• Music: generate or license a bed; duck it 8-12 dB under the voice.
• SFX layers: ambience (room tone), spot effects (footsteps, doors), and transitions (whoosh, impact).
• Loudness: master to roughly -14 LUFS for web platforms.
