Narrative Audio Editing & Mastering

I’m producing a story-driven podcast and need a skilled editor to turn my raw voice tracks into an immersive listening experience. The work centres on three pillars: 1. Story editing – tighten pacing, remove flubs, and arrange the narrative so every beat lands naturally. 2. Voice-over preparation – apply precise noise reduction and consistent volume leveling so dialogue sounds clean and professional. 3. Sound design – weave in tasteful ambient background music and spot effects that elevate each scene without overpowering the narration. You’re free to use your preferred toolkit—Adobe Audition, Audacity, Pro Tools, Logic, etc.—as long as the final files meet these acceptance criteria: • One mastered stereo WAV (48 kHz/24-bit) and high-quality MP3 for each episode • Loudness-normalized to −16 LUFS (podcast standard) • No audible hiss, clicks, or clipping • Ambient bed mixed under dialogue at an intelligible level • All stems or session files included for future tweaks If you love shaping stories through sound, I’d love to hear how you’d approach the first episode.
