I was 30 years old when I realized I wanted to work in game audio. I had been playing games all my life and the penny had never dropped. The day it did I was playing Rainbow Six Siege, I fired a shotgun, then fired it again, it sounded cool as fuck . From that moment I knew I needed to change career. But didn’t have a clue how to do it. It wasn’t an easy transition, I found myself at dead end after dead end and wanted to give up multiple times. But, after three years I had managed to teach myself/ gain enough knowledge and skills to get a career in the industry. In the three years I asked many of the same questions that get asked by people in similar situations. I wanted to share my answer s so those in the same situation as I can benefit from what I learnt. If you are looking for tips on what software to learn and where to start first I suggest you check out my blog post Post 1. GETTING INTO GAME AUDIO. Starting out. Do you need to re study?
