Social Media Audio Teasers FAQs
What part of the song should we use for the teaser?
Choose the moment a first time listener will remember. That is often the chorus, a standout lyric, a drop, or a riff with a clear rhythmic hook. We test a few options and keep the tightest one.
How long should a teaser be?
Short is powerful. We aim for about 5 to 15 seconds so the idea lands fast and loops cleanly. Longer cuts are possible when the story needs it, but we always lead with the hook.
Do you add captions or on screen lyrics?
Yes. Captions improve comprehension on mute and help viewers learn the hook. We can supply subtitle files or burned in captions styled to match your brand system.
Can you resize for different platforms?
Yes. We deliver vertical 9:16 by default and can provide square 1:1 or 4:5 alternates. We also prep assets for Shorts if you plan a multi platform push.
How many versions and revisions are included?
You receive a master teaser with up to two alternates for testing, plus two focused revisions to fine tune timing, captions, or mix touches. Extra versions are available on request.
Will teasers cannibalise full song streams?
Teasers work best as appetite builders. They tease the hook, add context, and point to the full track. We design cuts that create curiosity rather than replace a listen.
