If Someone Has a Bazillion Umms and You Remove Them All…

If someone has a bazillion umms and you remove them all, the remaining audio can sometimes have a very different vibe/flow than the original vibe/flow. When a person uses lots of umms their pacing tends to be very slow, so if you remove all the umms the pacing picks up. But, the tone and flow of their actual words can still feel slow, and this could cause the listener to feel like something is incongruent.

  1. This is why the rhythm and pace of the dialogue is important.

    The goal of editing is to improve what has been said, to remove distractions and allow the listener to hear what is being conveyed/said.

    If the crutch words and inflections are distracting, then they should be removed. Pauses should be added, shortened or removed to get it sounding right.

    The aim should be that all editing cannot be heard and that the recording sounds better.
