The Best Royalty Free Music for Training Videos

Make your training videos more engaging! We’ve rounded up the best music for training videos to drive your projects and captivate your audience.

Training videos tend to get a bad rap. Many people think of training videos of dull, painfully corporate presentations with hilariously bad acting. Well, times are changing. Training videos not only need to look good, but they also need to sound good too. Many companies are now focused on making creative training videos that are not only filled with practical but are entertaining and engaging to rival the content being produced on YouTube.

Using fresh music is one-way successful training videos are better connected with today’s audience that is used to seeing top-tier content every time they look at their phone. Training videos need to be quicker and more to the point.

What should training music sound like, though? One of the most important aspects of a good training video is for the viewer to feel engaged without losing attention and retaining all the information being conveyed. So music-wise, it shouldn’t overpower the instructional dialogue that plays over the video. You never want someone struggling to hear what’s being said because one single part of the song suddenly got too loud and overpowered everything else. It happened to me a few times when I didn’t listen to the whole track and found it didn’t quite fit too well because parts of the song overpowered dialogue.

How to Search Our Library

If I could pick a specific Genre to look through from our library, I’d recommend looking through our “Corporate” genre. Within that genre, we have subgenres that would fit your training video perfectly, like “Inspirational” and “Motivational” as well as “Underscore.” These subgenres will give you hundreds of options featuring wildly different types of artists, instruments, BPMs, and lengths to listen through. As always, you can filter these even further by selecting the Instrument, Length, and BPM of the track, which should help you match the specific sound of the brand you’re trying to convey.

One of the best features on our site that will help pick songs for your training video is that you can permanently remove vocals if the piece has vocals. The songs should be instrumental only, so ensure the little microphone icon on the track is unchecked, so the vocals are removed.

It’s easy to say that the music shouldn’t be cheesy and should age well, but sometimes it’s hard to predict what the right sound will be years later, so keep the beat simple, upbeat, and entertaining.
