How can I get the audio of only the dialogue of a movie, without any sound effects or music? I really need it for a fan edit.

But much dialog isn't mixed in the center in stereo. It is offset, to set the sound stage left and right.

This works well to separate sounds which are repetitive, like the background noise on a street from dialog, sounds like a steady electric hum, engine noise like a jet or vacuum cleaner, etc.

Beyond that, it isn't easy, and won't ever completely eliminate the music and background sounds.

Let's go in reverse order from easiest and most expensive to simple, cheap, and low quality. Dolby Atmos audio has separate tracks for all sound sources. If you can afford a proper Dolby audio and video editing software suite, you can extract each of these sounds from the mix.

Get the original master audio track from the movie production. They will have that for any recently produced movie from the surround sound era. Audio is recorded in many separate tracks, and dialog routinely uses many tracks - sometimes multiple tracks per actor.

Back to the most perfect, but potentially most expensive method.

The simpler surround sound formats, 7.1 and 5.1, have a single monophonic center track. In any audio editor that can separate these tracks, you can easily get just the center track. If all of the dialog is mixed there, without any sound effects or background music, this will work well. But not all mixes do that, especially if some dialog is intended to come from the sides of the screen.

This process can also extract only the center. If you're lucky, you'll get mostly vocals and dialog.

The cheapest method uses simple audio frequency filters, to reduce parts of the sound spectrum. This can make the dialog louder relative to the other sounds, but won't eliminate them.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

Whether you can afford this, or even get permission, is another matter. But it is guaranteed to work perfectly.

In a stereo mix, the monophonic elements will often be balanced in the center, equal in both tracks. A trivial vocal removal effect inverts the phase of one track, then adds them together to produce a monophonic version of each track with the monophonic center reduced.

It's not that great at separation of music, vocals, and random sound effects.

That leaves other means to reduce the sounds and extract the dialog. Modern AI audio processing uses filters and pattern recognition to identify elements in the sound.
