Advanced Dramatic Podcast Audio Editing

I have a podcast that’s already recorded; what it now needs is a professional polish. Beyond the usual clean-up of ums, stumbles, and dead air, I want each episode shaped with well-timed music beds and impactful sound effects so the listening experience feels dramatic and intense from start to finish.

You will be free to source or create the music and SFX yourself—the brief calls for a bold, cinematic tone, not stock jingles—so a good ear for royalty-free libraries (or your own composition skills) is important. Please balance spoken-word clarity with the added elements, ensuring dialogue always cuts through.

Deliverables for each episode:
• Edited, mixed WAV (24-bit, 48 kHz) and a final loudness-compliant MP3 ready for hosting
• A separate stems file for music/SFX in case I need future tweaks
• One round of minor revisions after my listen-through

Preferred tools include Adobe Audition, Pro Tools, Reaper, or similar; as long as the final files meet broadcast specs I’m flexible. Let me hear a sample of past dramatic or narrative work when you respond so I can gauge style fit.
