What dB level should dialogue be for film?
Usually, the dialogue is the most important component of your audio mix whether you are working on a short, documentary or a feature film so try to keep it around -12db on average.
Which Hz is for dialogue?
The centre speaker’s main job of playing back dialogue takes place mostly along the midrange of the frequency spectrum. For men, the fundamental frequency is between 100 and 125 Hz and between 200 and 250 Hz for women. However, while speaking, singing and screaming, the human voice can achieve much higher frequencies.
What dB should I aim for?
For safety, no peaks should be above -6db. Most video editors agree that the overall audio level of your audio mix (all of your audio combined) should normalized between -10db to -20db. I personally level my videos around -12db with occasional peaks to -8db. The trick here is to stay away from 0db as best you can.
How many Hz is a deep voice?
Two octaves down, we get the much deeper C2 at 65.4 Hz. C2 is indeed very deep and outside the speaking range of most men. The optimum F0 for men is around 100 Hz, and for women 190 Hz, according to our Associate, Dr Branka Zei of the Vox Institute in Geneva.
What Hz is human voice?
In general, the fundamental frequency of the complex speech tone – also known as the pitch or f0 – lies in the range of 100-120 Hz for men, but variations outside this range can occur. The f0 for women is found approximately one octave higher. For children, f0 is around 300 Hz.

How to write realistic dialogue in a screenplay?
You can only write realistic dialogue if your characters have realistic inner lives. Developing believable, fleshed-out characters with their own wants, needs, desires, and motivations is crucial to crafting realistic dialogue (and effective screenwriting in general).
When to use different shots in a scene?
Film Riot’s video correctly points out that these different shots should only be used when the dynamic of the scene changes, along with the subtext of the dialogue. If your characters suddenly realize something that makes them fearful or suspicious, you can indicate that with a close up, a slow zoom, or a unique angle.
