7 simple ways to remove distracting noises and sounds using tools in Adobe Audition, for clean and professional voice overs, podcasts or film dialogue.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to remove or reduce:

Background hum
Mouth clicks and pops
Sibilance
Plosives
Echo

As well as learning:

Best practices for ‘fine tuning’ your audio before you export it
Time-saving hacks

Left unchecked, distracting sound issues will take your listeners out of the story you’re telling, and could even irritate or annoy them. Learning how to deliver clean sound can also be the difference between a one-off gig and getting re-hired by impressed clients.

Who is this course for?

Actors and voice over artists
Editors and sound producers
Anyone looking to improve the quality of their audio and learn how to correct sound mistakes as described above

To get the most out of this class

This course jumps straight into tackling sound removal techniques and isn’t a complete walkthrough of how to use Adobe Audition. So, ideally students should have some prior knowledge of Adobe Audition or very basic editing skills, as well as their own copy of Audition to work from.

Why should you learn from me?

I’m a BAFTA-nominated filmmaker and actor with over 25 years experience in sound and picture editing. As a voice actor I’ve frequently used these tools to get myself out of some otherwise time-consuming and expensive re-recording. I like to make learning fun and simple so you’ll get as much value from learning from me as possible.
