Patch the leaks that make viewers leave in the first 30–60 seconds.

✅ 1. Opener Checks

• [ ] My opener has motion or subtle movement
• [ ] No silent, empty screen
• [ ] Clear text tells viewers what’s happening
• [ ] No long “Starting Soon” with nothing visible
• [ ] Streamer becomes visible within 5–10 seconds

Why it matters: Cold openers cause the highest viewer loss.

✅ 2. Camera Checks

• [ ] Camera is close enough to read my face
• [ ] Lighting is even and bright
• [ ] No shadows hiding expressions
• [ ] Background is not distracting
