How can I improve videos where I'm talking over background music?

Increase your voice volume and decrease the music volume so your voice is clearly audible. Additionally, always add closed captions. Most people watch reels on mute, so without captions, your talking video becomes just a silent slideshow with no context. Closed captions ensure your message gets across whether sound is on or off.
