Nice to hear somebody speaking about the audio industry as something even worth pursuing in 2024. I dreamt of getting into game sound for a long time but all the talk of layoffs, failing studios and people being unable to find work turned me off of it and I'm now pursuing work more related to digital marketing despite my passion being in sound. Would be curious to hear you talk in more detail about the industry and how one can break into it in this day and age.
I feel you. The industry can seem tough with all the layoffs and changes, but there's still space, especially in indie games, VR, and even immersive sound work. Your marketing skills could actually help you stand out if you ever want to merge those worlds. If sound's still a passion, don’t give up on it-it’s evolving, and there are more ways than ever to get in.
What do you think is the best way to enter this career path? Would it be better to advertise yourself as a freelance noise sound designer or maybe search for a direct contact in a specific industry such as theatres/film etc. Great tutorials!
This is a great question, ripe with potential answers, but allow me to offer my perspective: Initiate your journey by assembling a portfolio. Even in the absence of immediate buyers, crafting a conceptual portfolio on your own serves as a pathway to uncovering your distinct style. This not only bolsters your confidence but also empowers you to highlight the unique facets of your work. Freelancing, as you might realize, is akin to fishing-demanding patience and perseverance, yet it often represents the most pragmatic entry point. On the flip side, if you have connections within the industry, utilizing their trust can serve as an effective gateway. In essence: create, showcase to the world, and tirelessly engage. Just as you discovered this video, rest assured, your talent will attract its audience. Also, do not forget to check out the Udemy course-by using the referential link in the description. Keep thriving!
