Sound built
for story.

Dialogue and selected Foley elements were recorded during collaborative studio sessions at SAE Institute Vancouver. I participated in both the dialogue and Foley recording process, including Foley performance and the creation of original sounds such as footsteps, armor and clothing movement, metal and weapon sounds.

Following the recording sessions, I independently edited and processed the recorded material and built the complete soundtrack for my version of the scene. This included dialogue editing and processing, sound design, SFX and Foley editing, backgrounds and ambience, synchronization to picture, and additional sound selection from professional sound libraries.

The dialogue was gain staged, edited, and processed using EQ and compression, with reverb, panning, and additional processing applied where appropriate for the scene. Sound effects and Foley were edited, layered, processed, and synchronized to picture to support character movement, action, environment, and perspective.

I completed the full final mix in Pro Tools, including level balancing, spatial placement, automation, processing, and overall integration of dialogue, Foley, SFX, backgrounds, ambience, and music. The original music from the film was retained to preserve the identity and character of the original scene.

Using a pre-built Unity project provided as part of my coursework at SAE Institute Vancouver, I created the audio content for the game and integrated my finished assets into the existing audio system. My work focused on the creative and technical audio workflow rather than programming or development of the game’s underlying systems.

I sourced raw audio material from professional sound libraries and transformed it in Pro Tools to create sounds tailored specifically to the gameplay. Rather than relying on individual pre-made sound effects, I frequently combined multiple source recordings through layering, editing, and processing to build custom assets with their own character.

The sound design included gunshots, weapon sounds, explosions, impacts, footsteps, character movement, robotic movement and footsteps, character sounds, UI audio, and environmental ambience. AudioSuite processing and Pro Tools editing tools were used extensively, including time and pitch manipulation where needed to reshape source material and create sounds appropriate for different characters, actions, and gameplay events.

For the main character’s vocal reactions, I recorded a classmate’s voice and edited and processed the recordings in Pro Tools to create character vocal assets that fit the game.

I also created the game’s music in Ableton Live using a combination of selected loops and original musical elements. The loops were arranged, edited, and combined with additional original material to give the soundtrack its own identity rather than using the source material unchanged.

The audio assets were mixed and prepared in Pro Tools before being exported and integrated into the provided Unity project. Once implemented, I tested the sounds in gameplay and made additional level adjustments using Unity’s audio controls where necessary to achieve an appropriate balance in the game environment.
