Scoring for presentations
Presentation music is one of the few briefs where being forgettable is the goal. It exists to fill the dead air while a slide changes or an audience settles, and to give a corporate video a sense of forward motion. Anything more assertive works against the speaker. Keep tempos moderate — around 100 to 120 BPM reads as purposeful without hurrying — and keep the arrangement thin: a piano or guitar figure, light percussion, one sustained pad. Avoid dramatic builds, because the music will inevitably peak while someone is making a minor point about a quarterly figure. Room acoustics deserve more thought than they usually get. Conference rooms and halls are reverberant, which smears low frequencies into a rumble that competes with speech far more than the same track does on headphones. Generating something sparse in the low end and clear in the upper mids survives a bad PA system, which is the actual listening environment rather than the one you mixed in.

Music for presentations — questions people ask
What music suits a business presentation?
Understated, instrumental and consistent — around 100 to 120 BPM, a thin arrangement, and no dramatic builds. Its job is to remove silence, not to be noticed.
Why does presentation music sound bad in a conference room?
Rooms and halls are reverberant, which smears low frequencies into a rumble that competes with speech far more than the same track does on headphones. Keep the low end light.
How loud should music be during a presentation?
Quiet enough that the speaker never raises their voice. If anyone adjusts their posture to hear the presenter, it is too loud.
Should presentation music build to a climax?
No. It will inevitably peak while someone is making a minor point about a quarterly figure. Flat dynamics are the safer choice.
Can I use AI music in a corporate video?
Yes, under your plan's commercial terms. Internal and client-facing corporate use both count as commercial, so check the tier.
Should I loop music through an entire presentation?
No. Music under the whole talk becomes fatiguing; use it to cover transitions, the opening and the close, and leave the substance in silence.
