hi

i am trying to build a Resume doing audio for video games. foley, ADR, sound design, mixing, anything audio. i have been considered by a few large video game companies, however havent quite made it. So i am trying to build experience on my own.

I unfortunately do not know how to program (yet) but am trying to learn more all the time. If anyone needs anything audio let me know and i would love to help and be a part of your project.

heres a link to my IMDB upon request so you know im not a joke.

Ah darn, why hasn't anybody noticed this thread? What a pity!

Welcome Brennan/YoreStudios! I hope you're still checking the forums. I think this forum might just be the right kind of stepping stone for you to find a suitable project and contribute to it!

What might look good on your resumé are contributions to projects who already have certain evident qualities. Many projects lack sounds, noises, dialogues and even simple taunts, but contributions to projects possessing a player base are more beneficial than others. NAEV, Tremulous and 0 A.D. seem like promising projects to me. There are numerous others. Can somebody else name a few?

OpenGameArt.org could use your help, if you're so inclined. :)

Would you like to produce some sounds for OpenDungeons? Here's a list of needed sounds: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=508

Development is slow atm, because our programmer is studying again. And we have no support for sounds yet, so we won't be able to test the sounds in-game.

Perhaps OSARE or the like?

Anyway, find an interesting project - the more you like it, the better ;) - and either write an e-mail to the main developer (given that the project is a small one conducted by a single person, which, for example, is the case for OSARE), or post in the developer forums or mailinglist regarding what you want to do and what they would like to see :)
