Main Projects

Dead Space gameplay sound replacement - Project 1

Final product for Dead Space 2 intro

All sound assets inside and composition were created by Joe and I. I researched the horror genre and it helped assist in my composition choices for the sound track. Joe was a master of making Foley sounds for the doors and the voices and the creating a believable horror environment.

Recording ADR was fun till I got a sore throat.

Joe actually smashing a car window for the glass sounds :P

We went above and beyond for some of the sounds I think to get the most realistic sounds. It was very satisfying and fun in the end.

Augustine game soundtrack - Project 2

After showcasing at synergy earlier in Trimester 1 2019 we were approached by a Tri 5 design team to make the sounds for their game that will showcase their skills.

After having several meaningful meetings we decided to create a song for each of the main characters as the main protagonist sees each of the key cut-scenes in game.

ADR recording

Recording Erins voice over with our Creative lead Will contemplating

Working with Tri 5 team members and a Tri 4 student to help with Voice over. Later we turned Erin in to a PA lady that would tell the player that there is a lockdown in progress. Using skills learnt in class and researching how to Melodyne and pitch shift voices was a great learning experience.

Work Experience

South League Magpies Open mic live sound

Seeing it work well was a great experience and also how to manage talent on stage and off stage was an invaluable lesson.

Learning to setup stage quickly with the boys

Witches of Eastwick Theatre live sound

I worked at Phoenix Ensemble as a volunteer and requested Quinn a fellow student to help with the live thearte sound.

This happened early every Friday and Saturday night from 26th July to the 17th August and we had to learn very quickly on the Behringer x32 board.

Sitzprobe with no info, glad I had Connors class

Learning to do live sound in early July I was glad that we recently had classes with Connor. After Sitzprobe ( Singers align sound cues and musical cues with Band) I utilized the skills taught by Connor to create a band plot and mixing sheet.
