Hi Ganesh...

The audio sounds great to me

You are softly spoken in the video, but everything sounds nicely balanced.

As for the quality of the video - it's a little difficult to tell, as the depth of field seems quite shallow and I'm not sure that the focus is 100% accurate on your face. Your beard comes in and out of sharpness at times, which makes me think you can get better quality with more depth of field and/or more accurate focusing.

Definitely moving in the right direction, though

Thanks Mike. It feels weird talking into a lens so I was on the quieter side of things. I'll try again with the aperture decreased and after a shave as well.

Ha ha

I'm not disrespectin' the beard, Ganesh... I tend to run with a week or two of hair growth myself

In fact, it's quite useful for confirming focus at this stage

But, yeah, I think a little more depth of field to allow for your own movement (assuming a fixed camera position) might help a bit...
