Using the right background music to make your presentations pop If you’re going to use background music for your business presentation or video, you need to ensure it’s there for a reason, and that you are using to have a specific influence on your audience. Hitting business cliches with your synthy 80s music and bizarre slide transitions will instantly turn off an audience, distracting from the message you’re trying to deliver, no matter how relevant or interesting what you have to say actually is. There’s nothing worse than a cheesy corporate video or presentation. On the other, it’s important to also show a little vulnerability, so your audience can connect with you on a human level, and buy into the messages you’re trying to share with them. On the one hand, you want to look smooth and professional, like you know exactly what you’re doing and are completely confident in everything that you’re saying. Whatever business you’re in, pitching your presentations just right can be tricky.
