Dialogue editing is arguably the most important part of the post-audio chain, ensuring that speech is clear and continuous in terms of quality, environment and tone so edits and other artifacts of the recording and editing processes are no longer evident, completing the illusion that what we see on screen actually took place in the location and the sequence that is presented.

 

In these examples you can see the result of a dialogue editor's work before and after processing and editing. The 'before' examples are the raw recordings from the studio and on location.
