How to add music to a coaching session

For a coaching session, music should only accompany client-approved recaps or exercises, never private material without consent. Mark the exact opening, transitions, background sections, and ending before choosing a track.

Use original, commissioned, public-domain, or properly licensed music. Read the license for commercial use, podcasts, social platforms, attribution, and redistribution, then keep proof with the project.

Remove retakes and mistakes through the transcript before mixing. Preserve deliberate pauses and export or save a clean voice master so the music decision remains reversible.

Start the music lower than expected, fade it around entrances and endings, and reduce it further beneath important words. Avoid abrupt loops and check that quiet speech remains intelligible.

Listen on headphones, phone speakers, and at low volume. Confirm the license covers the destination, then export a master, delivery copy, and any required attribution.
