The type of job I would want is something in the entertainment industry. To be honest I’m working toward voice acting, but in the meantime while I work on not sounding like a stuffy teen we’ll talk about the job similar to that, audio designing. There’s a senior sound designer job for PUBG (player unknown battle grounds) that would be nice right now, mainly because I like shooter games, and I want to try my hand in game designing at some point.
The Job
This job consists of working closely with teams, work with the Unreal Engine 4, and edit, mix, and master audio materials. To be qualified for this job you need to fill in a certain criteria. You must be experienced in Unreal Engine 4 and scripting, masterful in pro tools, must have a masterful ear for audio, and of course have 5+ years experience in AAA game audio design. This job pays $14K – $242K a year. This isn’t exactly freelance, it’s a temporary position.
And of course this isn’t the only job that I’d like to get, I would like to work with other companies when I get off the ground in voice acting. That’s why the program that I like to use when it comes to anything audio is Adobe audition. I used it a few times to mix audio together that I get from sites like freesound.org to make background sounds, sort of like the ones you’d hear in games.
But until then I’ll need to keep working on my skills and get better equipment for recording for the job that I hope to get. My current equipment is good enough now but there’s always room for improvement.
