Comment Comment by weswilson Vox had a good video on why dialog sounds terrible in movies/shows these days.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYJtb2YXae8It boils down to a combination of:- Actors speaking naturally instead of projecting toward a microphone- Smaller microphones- Dynamic range - big explosions have to sound loud, so dialog gets pushed quieter- Downmixing from Atmos to 7.1, 5.1, stereo, mono- TV speakers have gotten smaller and mounted on the back due to thinner TV's (and also poor quality speakers on devices)I guess the solution is to buy a surround sound system and hope it's good enough. parent weswilson 3 years ago

It boils down to a combination of:
- Actors speaking naturally instead of projecting toward a microphone
- Smaller microphones
- Dynamic range - big explosions have to sound loud, so dialog gets pushed quieter
- Downmixing from Atmos to 7.1, 5.1, stereo, mono
- TV speakers have gotten smaller and mounted on the back due to thinner TV's (and also poor quality speakers on devices)
I guess the solution is to buy a surround sound system and hope it's good enough.
