Video tours - heavy breathing and crappy music

6 replies

Anyone else barely able to watch estate agent video tours for irritation at heavy breathing into the mic and/or ghastly music? Or is it just the ones in my neck of the woods that do this? 🙈 Pleeease somebody give these guys some basic video editing guidance, it’s making me irrationally angry.

Not come across the heavy breathing! There's a couple of agents who always use the same dreadful royalty free music, but my favourite is the one who has a bloke presenting the videos. He's all "and here we have a beautiful aspect on this charming staircase" when he's on the landing of a bog standard 2 up 2 down terrace Grin

Yep, I've not seen any heavy breathing ones, but the ghastly music - for definite!

My teenage daughter and I have bonded considerably over laughing ourselves silly at the "car salesman"-like cheerful chap desperately trying to make the best of a room you couldn't swing a cat in, or ignoring elephants in the room like hideous wallpaper Grin

Though with the walkthrough ones with no presenter, which aren't nearly as fun, I wish they'd stop waving the camera around so much and pan a bit slower, and there's usually no need for vertical panning at all with a standard height ceiling. I feel quite travel sick with some of them!

Oh consider yourselves lucky to have been spared the breathing, round here they are like Darth Vader gasping and rasping their way round the house, especially if there’s stairs!

The ‘charming staircase’ guy sounds like fun Grin

I watched one today where all the audio was recorded outside on a windy day, it was mainly noise.

There is one lovely chap who waves so adorably at the begining and end of his videos, I find myself waving back.

They drive me mad, they move so fast you can’t take in the house at all, they really don’t help sell a house.

Mind you virtual tours are alsp annoying when you keep trying to go up the stairs and keep landing back down the bottom
