About this service

Summary

I craft sound design and original music specifically for explainer videos—turning complex ideas into clear, engaging stories. The focus is audience understanding: crisp narration, supportive music, and smart accents that make information memorable and on-brand.

Process

Discovery & Brief We align on goals, audience, script, brand guidelines, references, and key moments. You’ll get a clear plan for tone, palette, and milestones.
VO-First Mapping I build the timing map around your narration and animatic so beats, transitions, and section breaks feel natural.
Design & Composition Custom SFX and musical ideas are created to highlight structure—chapter openers, reveals, lists, and comparisons—while keeping the message front and center.
Review & Refine You’ll receive a preview placed to picture. We gather feedback and fine-tune accents, pacing, and textures until everything clicks.
Final Mix & Delivery Polished, sync-ready masters plus stems and alternate versions tailored for your platforms and cut-downs.

FAQs

  • What kinds of explainers do you handle?

    Product demos, onboarding and training videos, app/website walkthroughs, motion-graphics explainers, and hybrid 2D/3D pieces.

  • How do you keep the narration clear?

    The VO leads. Music and SFX are arranged around it, with intentional space and accents that support comprehension.

  • Do you provide platform-ready versions?

    Absolutely—stems to fit social, web, and presentations.

  • What do you need to start?

    Final or near-final script, VO (or casting plans), animatic or cut, brand guidelines, references if any, and your timeline.

  • How do revisions work?

    Feedback rounds are included to polish timing, tone, and emphasis until the soundtrack supports your message perfectly.

He understood the assignment well, did an amazing sound design for our video, then due to some changes on our side, he re-did it again, no questions asked. Amazing experience!
