Attracting viewers to LiveMe broadcasts is not an easy task, and music can both help and harm this process. Let’s consider the pros and cons of using music in broadcasts.
Benefits of music:
Creating atmosphere. Background melody can set the right mood and complement what is happening on the air. For example, dance rhythms will emphasize movements, and calm music will create a relaxing environment.
Filling pauses. If you are temporarily silent, a quiet tune will prevent the broadcast from becoming boring and alienating viewers.
Engaging the audience. Playing familiar songs can encourage viewers to sing along, comment, or share memories associated with those songs.
Harms of music:
Distraction. Audience members come to the broadcast to hear your voice, your thoughts and emotions. Loud or intrusive music can drown out your words and alienate your audience.
Copyright Infringement. Using popular songs without permission from copyright holders can get your account blocked.
Differences in musical preferences. What you like may not appeal to your viewers, causing them to quickly leave the airwaves.
For a successful broadcast on LiveMe, it’s recommended to use music in moderation and with the situation in mind. A background tune can create an atmosphere, but should not overpower your voice. Performing songs is appropriate if it engages the audience, but don’t abuse it. The main thing is to remain yourself and be interesting for the audience, and the music should only complement your communication with them.
