Job Description

This role involves post-production audio engineering for a 20-second German-language commercial adapted from an original Swedish version. The project requires working with supplied German voice recordings, each provided as a separate track per speaker. The scene features three friends moving a sofa up a stairwell, with dynamic dialogue and sound effects, including a moment where the sofa hits a ceiling light and glass slides down a marble staircase. The engineer will be responsible for editing, spatial treatment, and final mixing to ensure the audio seamlessly matches the existing picture cut and delivers a convincing, immersive soundscape.

Responsibilities

• Select and edit the best takes to fit the existing video cut, ensuring dialogue timing aligns with on-screen action.
• Clean all tracks for noise, clicks, and breaths, and balance levels across three speakers for clarity and consistency.
• Apply spatial audio techniques, including reverb, early reflections, and panning, to convincingly place dialogue within the stairwell environment and match camera perspectives, especially for the off-floor voice.
• Integrate the dry dialogue with the existing music and effects bed, maintaining natural transitions and sonic cohesion.
• Normalize the final mix to meet platform loudness standards.
• Create a 6-second cut-down version from the same material, preserving narrative clarity and audio quality.
