For those with a background in audio production, audio engineering or music, Sound Design for Video Games offers a great career opportunity in a fast growing industry.
On this course, you will learn:
- To create game sound effects both from your own recordings and sourced from commercial libraries.
- How to use inexpensive and readily available field recording equipment to produce atmospheres, spot-effects and Foley.
- Technical skills like creating and implementing Foley, weapons, impacts and vehicle sounds.
- Business skills to help you produce a winning portfolio that will help you into a new career.
- Collaborative and remote working skills, vital in such a connected global industry.
- To imagine a sound world that fits perfectly with the ethos of the game.
I wanted to focus on learning practical skills and developing my portfolio... I chose ThinkSpace because there aren't many places that teach that.
Right away, from the start of the course, you design sounds - and this is what it's all about!
