Speaking Engagement: Decibel Festival 2012 Conference Panel

September 18th, 2012 | By Lance Hayes

 

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be part of the panel “You Landed a Gig Working With a Game Dev / Company. Now What?” on Friday the 28th at 12pm as part of the 2012 Decibel Festival Conference in Seattle. I’ll be onstage with developer extraordinaire Kim Swift and Airtight Games Audio Director Tom Smurden to discuss what to expect on your first game audio or composing job in the industry.

From the website:

FRI 12:00PM – YOU LANDED A GIG WORKING WITH A GAME DEV / COMPANY.  NOW WHAT? [Kim Swift (Portal, Quantum Conundrum), Tom Smurdon (Audio Director, Airtight Games), Lance Hayes (DJ Drunken Master)]

What should you expect when you start working in the game industry? Join a sound designer, a composer and a game designer and get an inside look at what an audio job looks like in games from different points of view. Hear about the common tools of the trade, day in the life, music and audio licensing and ask your own questions of the panel of seasoned game industry professionals.
