Why Audio Quality Matters More Than Video

• The truth most creators miss: Viewers will tolerate poor video quality, but they'll click away immediately from poor audio.
• Bad audio = Unprofessional, hard to understand, annoying
• Good audio = Professional, engaging, easy to consume
• For AI Content: If you're not using your own voice, you NEED professional-quality AI voiceover. Robotic voices kill viewer retention.
