EQ for Dialogue Audio: Make Your Voice Sound Better with an Equalizer

Best audio channel I’ve found on YouTube! I’ll be watching this video again I’m sure... lots of knowledge here

Your channel is wonderful, Curtis. There's so much work put in it and I've learnt a lot. That's it, just wanted to chime in and say thanks.

Mannnnnn, Curtis! I've only recently started getting more into EQ. Previously the MOST I would do is roll off the low-end to account for any rumble or proximity effect type stuff. Hearing your example, I should have gotten into this sooner! But at least now, thanks to your video, I'm armed to better pull the best out of my dialog. THANK YOU!

Curtis, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when you had a -6dB cut with a Q of 2 and then saying "it's a subtle change" hahaha! You're the best man. A really helpful video, and an absolutely HORRIBLE sounding microphone on your voice. You definitely improved the sound on it a lot.

This is fantastic Curtis. Please more DAW/sound editing tutorials! Sound is so often overlooked in production houses that put out daily/weekly content. I wish there were 100 more people like you on YT!

Thank you Curtis, You are a benchmark for high quality (not only production quality) instructions and information on the industry. Huge respect.

It's amazing how much of a difference that EQ makes! Horrible without EQ on your voice, but *much* better with EQ

No lie, I've been waiting for you (specifically) to put out this video.

This sort of tutorial is exactly what most of tech youtube is missing. Thanks Curtis!

Just the kind of clear, concise and, most of all, useful tutorial the subject calls for. Virtually everyone has or deals with voices that might not be a perfect fit for this mic or that signal chain. Nobody has an infinite microphone locker. But everyone has ears. This provides a great guide for using them. It's also a nice antidote to the temptation of wasting time and money chasing some holy grail microphone. There isn't one. And while you obviously cannot turn a Blue Yeti into a U87, you can certainly make most voices fit most mics well enough to be pleasing and credible to most listeners. Thanks, again, for underscoring that sometimes overlooked idea.

Wow. You're right about the mic voice miss match lol. Dope video as always Brutha.

This is probably the MOST useful EQ tutorial I've found on youtube. Congrats Curtis!

This video was amazing Curtis. I can’t believe this exists for free on Youtube. You truly are such a great resource for filmmakers!

This is the best EQ lesson I've come across. Thank you for actually teaching how to do it rather than providing some prescribed formula! My ears are not yet trained but at least I have a starting point to try and listen for things as I am EQing!

Solid, simple, and to the point, love it. Great work as always Curtis.

I have seen this done many time by many great audio techs but this is by far the best example of the subject. You nailed it Curtis🏆 😉 Very well done.

A much needed tutorial on using EQ to improve voice audio recordings. You really are the guru of audio. Thanks so much for this.

This was a great quick overview of how the Parametric Equalizer works. It would be great to see more videos going over the other audio repair tools found in popular software.

Love this!!! I am working on my first audiobook... FINALLY found a way to sound legit!!! I bring the acting... but all this techno stuff is new to me... learning curve pegged! THANK YOU!!!

So great! I've been doing a ton of interviews and have been struggling with this exact thing. Thank you for the effort and expertise you put into your videos. They are VERY much appreciated!!
