Normalize several audio clips

[swpowe]

I'm trying to come up with the best way to normalize all of my voice over audio. I've got a several pieces of audio that are all from different sessions and different characters that I need to normalize. I've also got music that sometimes plays along with the dialog. Any ideas on an effective efficent way I could normalize all of this? Thanks.

Normalize each region individually to the same decibel level, then mix by ear so that all of the regions sound equally loud to one another, regardless of what the meters show. You might need to use some light compression on some regions.

before i normalise, i look at the begining and end of each region
open your wave so you can cut where there are o db,
sometimes when you normalise there could be clips at the begining or end
of your region, also if you have little clips before normalise
they´ll be stronger afterwords.
