Of course you'll pick up his dialogue. I don't understand the concern. They are not speaking at the same time. In the editing room, you replace the crap sound of his dialogue with…

Some years ago I made a short. It is entering its fourth year of sound design. Yep, I said 4 years. Not that every second of those four years has been devoted to sound; the sound …
