What is dialogue editing?

Dialogue editing is the process of cleaning, organizing, and enhancing dialogue audio tracks for film, television, or other media productions. This involves removing unwanted noise, matching audio levels, syncing dialogue to the picture, and sometimes replacing or repairing poor-quality recordings. Dialogue editors ensure that the spoken words are clear, consistent, and seamlessly integrated with the rest of the soundtrack. Their work is essential for creating a professional and immersive audio experience for audiences.

How does a dialogue editor typically collaborate with sound designers and re-recording mixers during post-production?

Dialogue editors work closely with sound designers and re-recording mixers to ensure the spoken content is clear, consistent, and integrates seamlessly with other audio elements. This collaboration often involves sharing session files, discussing creative directions, and addressing any technical challenges such as noise reduction or ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) integration. Regular communication is essential, as dialogue editors must ensure their edits align with the broader sound design and the final mix, often participating in review sessions and providing quick revisions as needed. This teamwork helps achieve a polished audio track that supports the story and meets the project's artistic goals.

What is the difference between Dialogue Editing vs Sound Editing?

AspectDialogue EditingSound Editing
Primary FocusEditing and cleaning dialogue recordingsEditing all sound elements, including effects, music, and dialogue
Skills RequiredAudio editing, noise reduction, timing synchronizationSound design, mixing, editing various audio components
Work EnvironmentPost-production studios, film, TV, animationPost-production, film, TV, gaming

Dialogue Editing primarily involves refining and cleaning dialogue recordings to ensure clarity and synchronization, while Sound Editing encompasses a broader range of audio elements, including effects and music. Both roles are essential in post-production, often overlapping but with distinct focuses.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Dialogue Editor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Dialogue Editor, you need expertise in audio editing, a strong ear for detail, and knowledge of sound post-production workflows, often supported by formal training in audio engineering or film production. Proficiency with digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Avid Pro Tools, noise reduction plugins, and synchronization tools is typically required. Excellent communication, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with directors and sound teams set standout editors apart. These skills ensure clean, cohesive dialogue tracks that enhance storytelling and maintain audio quality in film, television, or other media.

Job description

This position is for a temporary engagement through our staffing partner Yoh Enterprise Solutions.  

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States for this position.

This is a hybrid/ onsite position.

For nearly 40 years, Naughty Dog has been crafting best-selling, critically acclaimed games that constantly push the boundaries of narrative, gameplay, and technology. We've been busy at the Kennel, most recently releasing The Last of Us Part I, a complete and faithful remake of the original game, rebuilt from the ground up and fully optimized for the PlayStation 5 and currently in development for PC. As a part of the Naughty Dog legacy, you'll be continuing the development of extraordinary and enduring experiences for a broad, global range of audiences.

Naughty Dog games have long been lauded for their evocative, character-driven stories and attention to detail. We are committed to innovation within our games and as such have curated some of the top creative and technically innovative minds in the industry. We welcome diverse candidates and believe that a broad range of cultural and life experiences contribute to the overall well-being and success of the studio and the titles we craft together.

The Dialogue Editor is responsible for ingesting recorded dialogue, editing, and selecting takes based on notes and direction from the Creative Director and/or Dialogue Lead. The takes are then passed onto the Dialogue Designer for implementation. From there, the coordinator is expected to level and master the files and do any work necessary to support the dialogue team as the files move through our pipeline.

What you will do:

        Edit VO sessions and select takes based on notes within the scripts

        Collaborate with Dialogue Designers to ensure assets are correctly implemented in-game

        Prepare and manage materials needed for recording VO sessions

        Provide assets and audio stems for the animation department

        Help master combat, story, and in-game cinematic voice assets

        Ensure the overall quality and implementation of all voice assets

        Support the localization team to make sure collaboration between the various territories runs smoothly

        Additional responsibilities may be assigned as needed

What skills you will use:

        High degree of proficiency with any DAW (Pro Tools or Reaper preferred)

        Strong familiarity with spreadsheet applications (Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers)

        Understanding of dialogue production pipelines in game development

        Must be extremely detail oriented and be able to manage tens of thousands of audio files

        At least 3 years of experience in professional audio editorial and at least 1 shipped title

Bonus Skills:

        Experience with creative processing on dialogue files

        Knowledge of VBA, Java, Python or other scripting languages

        Audio scripting and implementation experience

        Experience with Sound Design

As a part of the Naughty Dog application process, candidates will be expected to provide a portfolio or demo reel of their work and may be asked to complete a test.
