Editing Dialogue

Posted on July 15, 2008 in Sound Design | No Comments

A question and answer session from FilmSound.org with many helpful tips on improving less than perfect dialogue tracks.

…Ari: I’m working on a feature film and the dialogue is not that bad but not fantastic (probably not as bad as I think). There is a scene where 2 people are being filmed and the camera is filming 1 person talking and then the other. The level of volume between the 2 people is different. I know that this is just a matter of adjusting the volume level of one of the actors voices to match the other but I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how the best way to edit this would be?

The audio is just on one track so I didn’t know if it would be best to separate it in to 2 tracks so that I can adjust the volume easier. I’m using Sonic Foundry Vegas 4 software. This is the first project that I have had to work on dialogue so I really want to make a good go of it and learn as many helpfull tips as I can for future projects.
