sound editor
Film audio specialist
A sound editor is a professional who assembles and refines the audio elements of a film, television show, video game, or other media production.
The work involves selecting, cutting, and arranging dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise to create a cohesive soundtrack.
Sound editors work closely with directors and sound designers to shape the auditory experience: The sound editor spent weeks layering footsteps and background noise for the chase scene.
