Unless you go into the fine details and really explore the full process of developing the sound, Id recommend making this into a short series. If you can show the software you use and the full process then this would be HUGE

I was planning to do a few of these videos, so turning it into a series wouldn't be hard. I was originally thinking of showing the basics, but not a full in-depth guide. But it seems like that would be more useful, so perhaps I will change my plans.

I agree with KP that the full process could make this much stronger. The interesting part isn’t just “pot equals sword sound,” it’s showing how the raw sound becomes believable after layering, timing, reverb, EQ, and syncing it to movement. That would make it useful for audiobook creators, editors, voice actors, and indie filmmakers.

I was hoping to do that in a shorter video, but I see your points. It is a long and detailed process, so having a full how-to would be helpful for those wanting to learn

This is a good Shorts premise because the payoff is immediate. I would make it a guessing game instead of just a list. Play the sound first, let people think "that cannot be a sword", then reveal the household item. The loop matters here. If the reveal is surprising enough, people may rewatch to hear it again. I would keep each item very fast and save the weirdest one for last.
