Voice-overs are everywhere! News reporting, story telling, slide shows, training videos, web presentations, and advertisements are just some of the productions that use voice recordings as an essential element.
Producing a good voice-over isn’t difficult, and the equipment you need is inexpensive. The quality of your voice-overs, however, will only be as good as your ability to control the sound and your techniques for capturing the audio.
In this course, you will learn about basic audio recording techniques, equipment options, acoustic treatment, and how to properly use the gear.
You’ll get over an hour of video, in which audio and video expert Dave Bode takes you through the whole process for recording the best possible audio, whether you have a simple setup or a well-equipped studio.
You’ll learn how to control the sound so that you get the exact results you need, without too much noise or distractions.
In addition to the technical aspect of this course, you will also learn about how to prepare for the read and how to work with clients to make sure expectations are met.

What You’ll Learn
Color grading might seem a big, intimidating, costly process—and it definitely can be—but it doesn’t have to be that way anymore. Just a little bit of grading can go a long way to creating a compelling look in projects of all sizes, without breaking the budget!
In this 1.2-hour YouTube course, you will learn some of the secrets of color grading. You’ll start by learning how to shoot your initial footage in a way that will set you up for successful color grading.
You’ll also learn how color enhances and shapes perception. You will learn how to push colors away from the accurate and neutral into something that has more pop and punch, while maintaining continuity throughout your project.
You will learn how to create some specific looks and how to use vignettes, grain, and more! You’ll even learn how to use color grading to communicate certain moods and messages to your viewers and enhance the storytelling.

Learning how to use CSS Grid Layout doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, you can do it just by watching a single YouTube video.
Don’t believe me?
Try watching A Quick Introduction to CSS Grid Layout by Adi Purdila, and see how much solid information he manages to pack into 53 minutes of video instruction. By the end, you’ll be confident in using CSS Grid Layout for your next web design project.
What You’ll Learn
For a long time, web designers have been used to creating layouts with CSS by using floats. Floats, however, were never meant to be used to create grid layouts. The introduction of Flexbox was a big improvement, but it didn’t address all the layout challenges. A layout displays elements along both axes, and Flexbox is mainly a one-directional system.
Thankfully, CSS Grid Layout is gaining traction and has been adopted by all major browsers, which means you can use it in your projects today. CSS Grid Layout is the most powerful layout system currently available. It’s a two-dimensional system, and in this video, you’ll learn the basics of working with it.
The course may be called “A Quick Introduction to CSS Grid Layout”, but it’s actually very long and detailed compared with most of what you’ll find on this topic on YouTube.
You’ll get a full introduction to what CSS Grid Layout is, how it works, and some of the terminology you’ll need to know. Then you’ll see how to create a grid container and define rows and columns.
You’ll also see how to place elements on the grid and build useful layouts for your websites. The video also covers the all-important topic of browser support, so you can see how well CSS Grid Layout is supported by major browsers.

CSS Grid Layout is a powerful tool for web designers who want to create flexible, creative layouts. This single video will take you through everything you need to know to get started using it.
