Bad audio ruins even great visuals, especially in a short film where every second matters. I don’t just “clean noise” I rebuild the audio so it feels balanced, clear, and consistent from start to finish. Here’s how I’d approach your 15-minute film: – Noise removal: eliminate background hum, hiss, or distractions without damaging voice quality – Volume balancing: even out dialogue levels so nothing feels too low or too loud – Distortion control: reduce harsh peaks and clean clipped sections where possible – Final polish: subtle EQ + compression so everything sounds natural and film-ready I work with tools like Adobe Audition and handle audio with a film-first mindset, meaning clarity, consistency, and immersion come before over-processing. You’ll get a clean, polished track that sits well with your visuals and doesn’t pull the viewer out of the experience. You can send over the audio so I can get started on it right away.

A short film like this works best when the cleanup process preserves the natural character of the dialogue and ambience instead of overprocessing the track to the point where it sounds artificial. The way I would approach this is by separating the workflow into restoration, balancing, and final mastering. Background noise and distortion would be treated first using targeted cleanup tools so the dialogue remains clear without introducing artifacts, then volume inconsistencies would be leveled through careful gain staging and compression to keep the listening experience smooth from scene to scene. After the restoration pass, I’d fine-tune EQ, dialogue clarity, and overall loudness so the final mix feels polished and consistent across speakers, headphones, and streaming playback, while keeping enough dynamic range for the film to still feel cinematic rather than flattened. The final delivery would include clean mastered audio synced properly to picture, with organized exports so future revisions remain straightforward if needed. Do you have separate dialogue, ambience, and music tracks available, or is the cleanup being done from a single mixed audio file??
