What follows is a raw, completely unedited (sorry) excerpt from the next book I’m in the process of writing (you can preorder it here). In it, I cover a big no-no (in my opinion) when it comes to working for free.
If you’re looking to break into audio for games, you may be tempted to jump at the first opportunity that arises to just do something. Often, that’s a hobby developer doing something awesome on the side – but with no money. This is not a solution to your catch-22 where you need to have industry experience to get a job in the industry. I outline other, successful solutions in the book.
If you’re looking to break into the audio-side of the games industry, I’m writing this book for you. So if you’re overwhelmed by information on the internet, don’t know what to focus on, read too many threads on Reddit and Twitter, can’t focus, are stuck in a catch-22 where you need experience to get hired but can’t get it without being hired, or super depressed and never think you’ll get a shot… This one’s for you. I’m bringing my industry pals in to voice their opinions (that may not agree with me) too. Again – preorder here.
Hope you enjoy the content.
