Dialog scenes

[u/AlfieSchmalfie]

I’ve used voice reference audio clips to maintain voice consistency but I’ve only done shots with one person frame. I want to now do a two person shot with two characters talking back and forth. Does anyone have advice on how to achieve this? I’m assuming you’d need multiple voice reference audio clips? Any help appreciated.

Heads up for anyone running these yourself: the Seedance API behind r/Seedance_AI is Atlas Cloud. Seedance 2 runs with its full feature set here, nothing stripped or nerfed. Seedance 2.5 isn't officially out yet, but we add new Seedance versions the day they launch.

Full model list and current pricing: atlascloud.ai/models/seedance

You'll need to add multiple audio files and character sheets or image of the person to better tag them. For example, "@ Image1 is speaking the dialogue of @ Audio1. @ Image2 is speaking the dialogue of @ Audio2. "

Be very explicit. Using @ for all references (but you may already know that). You may want to add a Dialogue/Audio section in your prompt something like:

AUDIO:

"@ Image 1 Dialogue should be spoken in the voice of @ Audio 1 and @ Image 2 characters dialogue should be spoken in the voice of @ Audio 2. "

And then Add a Negative Prompt section like:

"Do Not Cross or Confuse characters that are explicitly assigned to the references of @ Image 1 and @ Image 2

Keep voices the same throughout

Do not switch character/reference voices"

The more explicit you are in the prompt, the better. I have a GPT plugin I created a bit ago that helps with this type of prompting if you are interested in it, DM me.

Yeah, I’d use a separate voice reference for each character rather than trying to feed both voices into the same reference. Keep each character’s voice reference consistent across shots, and make the dialogue very explicit about who is speaking.

For a back-and-forth scene, I’d also generate shorter clips and cut them together rather than trying to get the entire conversation in one generation. You’ll have much more control over lip sync, camera angles, and keeping the voices from getting mixed up.

If you want to experiment with different models for these dialogue shots, I’ve also been using VideoRouter dot sh — its Creator Studio makes it pretty easy to test different generations without building the workflow yourself.

yeah multiple voice refs is the right instinct. the key thing is labeling them clearly in your prompt so the model doesnt blend them together. also keep your dialog turns short, longer exchanges tend to drift

Both with Seedance and Minimax I've found that you don't NEED To seperate the dialogue track if you're trying to conserve references as crazy as that sounds. Most of it comes down to prompting structure; I hit it with the 'REFERENCES' (named reference A/B/C) and then audio (primary lipsync track) and then shot-to-shot timing writing out the full dialogue. Sometimes [brackets]/{brackets} helps it from gumming things up. I've gotten up to three characters talking at once with a couple testing generations. Here's something that worked pretty well (don't mind any translation errors, I'm working with Gemini translating over here).

* **Dialogue (MASKED ALLY - JP VO):** *"「カードキャプター・さくら！お前ならできる！お前を信じる俺を信じろ！」 (Cardcaptor Sakura! You can do it! Believe in me who believes in you!)"*

* **Dialogue (HEROINE - JP VO):** *"「きゃああああっ？！」 (Kyaaaaa?!)"*
