Audio Reel (Please I would love some feedback!)
Good evening, air wigglers!
I hope you’re all doing absolutely amazing, and if you’ve already taken some time to read this, I thank you kindly.
I had a career change not so long ago. I’ve spent most of my (not-so-long) career working as a live audio and recording technician. I’ve worked in theatre productions, conferences, live music, etc.
I’ve always been keen on using Pro Tools, and little by little I started learning Wwise, FMOD, Unreal, Unity, a bit of Godot, a bit of Python… which eventually led me to C#, and now I’m looking into MetaSounds.
I’ve worked on a few indie projects, and nowadays I work with a small studio that’s planning to release an AA title around the end of this year or the beginning of next.
It’s an exciting new challenge for me, and even though I’m not making any money from it right now, I genuinely love every second of it — struggles included. Juggling family life, finding the time to make everything happen, and trying to be present for every opportunity I get isn’t always easy, but I’m trying not to take any of it for granted.
Today is actually my first time EVER posting, although I’ve been a member of the community for quite some time, both here and over on Reddit’s r/sounddesign.
I’m not gonna take up any more of your valuable time with my biography xD
It would mean the world to me if anyone could give me some advice, input, pointers… What am I missing? What should I be looking for when putting together my sound reel?
I’m actively looking for work in either post-production or as a Technical Sound Designer. This version of my reel is from a few months ago, but since the projects I’m working on right now are under NDA until release, I can’t include any footage or mention them publicly yet. I do bring them up during interviews and include the experience on my résumé when applying for new opportunities.
But anywhoo…
As I said, any criticism is welcome. I’m here to learn, improve, and keep honing my craft so I can become a great professional in this weird and wonderful audio universe.
Once again, thank you for your time (:
p.s. Everything was done by my, music, editing, substracted the original dialogues and re inserted them. Just made the title of the video with AI everything else is tailored by me.
