Dialogue editing is an under appreciated art, and highly employable skill. Here’s my process on how to be ultra fast in @avid.protools .
I’ve actually condensed this workflow into two clicks! DM me the word “DIALOGUE” and I’ll show you how!

😱 Giving it away - here are all the plugins that are on my dialogue chain.

Don’t know how to break into film sound? Start here.👇🏽
❓How do I get started in film sound?
You’ll need 3 things: a computer, headphones, and a DAW. MAC or PC will do (studio employment your goal? 95% of them run Mac)
🎧 Any mid-range headphones will work; know their strengths and weaknesses. Run lots of translation tests (car, laptop/phone speaker) to hear how your mix is playing back.
Pro Tools is the industry standard for audio post. Can’t afford it? Use Reaper (technically free) so you can start practicing. Once you have the money saved, get PT Standard/Ultimate.
Take a 10-15 second scene from your favorite movie/tv show/commercial, strip the original audio, and add your own take. Try your best to recreate the original mix. As you gain a better ear, put your own unique spin to it.
❓How do I learn post audio in Pro Tools?
After training your ear for sound editing, you have to stay organized. The best free tutorial on Pro Tools for Post Audio is on Tom Boykin’s YouTube Channel. Use his lessons as a base, you’ll develop your own taste for session layout as you gain more experience.

❓How do I find paid projects to work on?
Having clientele is a must, no matter how much of a beginner you think you are.
Essentially, there’s 3 ways to find work:
1️⃣Job Postings online (sites like StaffMeUp and Mandy)
2️⃣Networking with your ideal client (join local film groups)
3️⃣Referrals from your network (deliver great results and a seamless client experience. Eventually majority of your work will be referral-based).

❓How do I find good sound effects?
Sound libraries can be expensive! Start out with sfx that is free. Search sites such as Freesound,
UK FreeSFX, Zapsplat, Blipsounds Community Library, and Free to Use Sounds Freebies.
Use a sound library manager. Tight on budget? Use Basehead. Have $15/month to spare? Get Soundly, can’t recommend it enough (free month promo code: vanessa)
Start here and have fun in your journey. Don’t forget to save!
I had to keep recreating #3 so now it’s permanently in my template 🙌🏽
BTW comment “MIX” if you want my template 🤗

❌ Never going back to Izotope…
…RX’s default color map 😜
Blue to Purple has been the best for quickly identifying tonal frequencies for surgical edits. And in my everyday work, it’s a TON of what I do.
Shake things up and give it a spin. Maybe you’ll like it better 😎
