What does a Dialogue Editor do?

A Dialogue Editor is responsible for editing, cleaning, and enhancing the dialogue in films, TV shows, and other media productions. They remove background noise, sync dialogue with visuals, and ensure consistency in sound quality. Using specialized software, they prepare dialogue tracks for mixing, often collaborating with sound editors and re-recording mixers. Their work is crucial in making speech clear and natural for the final production.

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

To thrive as a Dialogue Editor, you need expertise in audio editing, keen attention to detail, and experience with sound production, typically supported by formal training or a degree in audio engineering, film, or a related field. Proficiency with digital audio workstations (DAWs) such as Pro Tools, noise reduction software, and familiarity with industry-standard workflows is essential. Effective communication, problem-solving abilities, and strong organizational skills help Dialogue Editors collaborate smoothly with directors, sound designers, and production teams. These attributes ensure dialogue tracks are clean, consistent, and seamlessly integrated, which is critical for delivering high-quality audio for film, television, or other media projects.

What are some of the daily responsibilities for a Dialogue Editor in a typical post-production environment?

Dialogue Editors are responsible for cleaning up and assembling dialogue tracks, removing unwanted noises, matching audio quality across scenes, and ensuring lip-sync accuracy. They often work closely with sound supervisors or re-recording mixers to address creative requests, manage ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) sessions, and prep material for final mix. Daily tasks can also involve collaborating with other audio departments, maintaining detailed session notes, and reviewing picture lock updates as edits evolve. This role requires managing multiple deadlines and adapting quickly to creative or schedule changes in a team-oriented environment.

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.
