July 4, 2016by AnnaNo Comments

Shooting your first video and uploading it on YouTube or your website is a big deal. Most people are used to expressing themselves on the web in written form (email, facebook, twitter, blogs) or maybe in the form of pictures (instagram, pinterest, tumblr) – video, however, is still new to most of us. And while video has a lot of benefits, these benefits come with a downside: it takes some courage to create them. So how can you stop being nervous and start recording videos?

You’re nervous? It’s normal!

Video aren’t only more personal, they also make you more vulnerable. They reveal what you look like and the way you speak. They showcase your personality, your body language, your quirks. You’re showing more of yourself, which makes videos feel much riskier. People will judge you if you publish a video of yourself.

And not only that – you will also judge yourself. If you ever recorded your voice, you might know how weird it feels to listen to yourself. And watching yourself can be even more cringe-inducing.

The most important thing to know: it’s completely normal to be nervous. If you are just waiting for the nervousness and discomfort to subside, you might wait forever. So if you really want to shoot videos, you need to come to terms with the facts that:

11 Royalty Free Music YouTube Channels (Free to Use for Your YouTube Videos)

royalty free music youtube channels

You have the perfect video script, the recording went well, but during the editing process, you notice something is missing: the music. However, you already know the YouTube audio library by heart and have a hard time finding what you need on other royalty free music websites. Luckily, there are plenty of YouTube musicians that have decided to grant other YouTubers the right to use their music for their YouTube videos for free. A lot of these tracks are “fresh” and haven’t been used as much as many of the other tracks from royalty free libraries.

Disclaimer: although these channels offer royalty free music in general, please check each individual video for which rights the creators grants you and whether you have to credit them. Many of the tracks are free specifically for the use in YouTube videos. If you want to use the tracks in somewhere else (for example a game), make sure you have the permission first to avoid legal trouble.
