Working on a AAA Game: My Experience as a Sound Designer

Sound Designer's Starter Pack (free): https://daviddumaisaudio.com/starterpack Ever wondered what it is actually like to work as a sound designer on a massive AAA video game? In this video, I am sharing my honest experience and the biggest lessons I learned while working on a major project that is still in development. From the technical hurdles to the team dynamics, I am pulling back the curtain on the world of professional game audio. Working on a large-scale production comes with a unique set of challenges, including battling imposter syndrome and navigating complex technical workflows. I dive deep into the day-to-day life of a sound designer, explaining how we use tools like Unreal Engine and Wwise to bring a game world to life. You will hear about the importance of constant communication in a remote team, why I spent significantly less time in Reaper than I originally expected, and how high-pressure crunch periods are very real, but also very rewarding.
