Place it immediately before the reveal cut, then follow it with a reaction sound once eyes open, such as the Yaaaay Cheer after a gift reveal or the Scream Meme after a prank reveal, keeping the reveal itself as the visual payoff after the instruction.
Über diesen Sound
This is a short Italian voice clip lasting just under four seconds, built around the phrase 'chiudi gli occhi,' meaning close your eyes, spoken as a direct instruction to the listener. It feels playful and conspiratorial, like being let in on a secret just before something is revealed, with a teasing warmth that makes the pause that follows feel charged with anticipation.
