Most AI-generated videos look stunning and still feel "off." This book explains why - and it's almost never the visuals.
Sound Like a Director is a practical, no-fluff system for directing voice, music, ambience, and mix in AI video, using tools creators are actually using right now - ElevenLabs, Suno, Udio, HeyGen, Sync Labs, and more.
Inside, you'll learn the four-layer Sound Stack every professional uses, how to direct AI voice so it sounds like a performance instead of a text-to-speech demo, how to build ambience and foley that make a generated scene feel physically real, and how to mix so dialogue always leads. You'll also get genre-specific playbooks for ads, narrative shorts, explainers, and trailers, plus real before-and-after case studies, printable checklists, and a current toolkit guide organized by category so you always know which tool to reach for.
No recording studio. No sound engineering degree. Just a repeatable, seven-step workflow that turns sound from an afterthought into your biggest creative advantage.
While everyone else competes on visuals alone, you'll have the one skill almost nobody else is building.
