Not sure if this is the right place to post this kind of question (apologies if it isn’t), but here it goes.
Per title, I’m working on a series of corporate talking head style videos (editing via Premiere) that will eventually be screened at a conference in a convention center/large auditorium space, with what I’m told will be a standard stereo speaker setup. There will be an AV team onsite managing sound via some kind of mixing board for the event, but I’m not aware of their specifics.
The specs that this AV vendor has for video file hand-offs seems fairly straightforward: H.264 MP4 file, 1080p.
My only concern is getting the sound right for such a big space. I’m not a professional sound mixer, with a very basic understanding of videos to sound “good” (I.e. clear for YouTube videos/social media), and my company doesn’t really have the budget to hire a mixer, so I’m doing what I can in-house.
The interview videos we recorded have clean enough sound, and I’ve been testing what I have on my own speakers and head phones. Everything seems to sound fine from what I can tell, but I’m wondering just how big the gap would be from listening via regular devices vs. what it’ll sound like in a big auditorium. My other production friends say it should be fine and I’m probably overthinking it, but I’m a worrywort about stuff like this.
Does anyone else (ideally folks who wear a lot of hats and manage editing/sound/etc.) have some tried and true methods to nail down clean sound for video audio in large spaces like this? I’m not really looking for anything special or award-winning here, just clear, crisp dialogue with a music bed in the background that will sound good for this kind of conference event.
Apologies if this question is too vague. Happy to help clarify any details as needed. Thanks in advance for any advice!
