Here are my top 5 recommendations of free resources for aspiring #GameAudio folks trying to break into this competitive industry! (especially AAA)

Not a definitive guide but something to get you started in case you're wondering where to start

🧵

1. First up is this bible created by @FlorianArdelean on how to get a job in game audio!

A comprehensive guide containing a range of material from interviews with industry veterans to advice on CV, Cover letters etc.

2. Next is reel reviews by @regameyk on his Twitch channel @PowerUpAudio - he takes on 2 requests in each stream and gives some valuable advice on ways to improve your website/portfolio

Check out any video from his VOD on Twitch or YouTube channel:

3. It can be confusing to figure out learning game engines like Unreal - where do you start?

@billystupid and @TheNewTeed have come up with a bunch of courses and a free game project for exactly that! Here's the full list of all the courses:

4. Once you get your feet wet in game engines, it's time to move on to middleware!

@audiokinetic have a bunch of free courses but I absolutely recommend at least going through their 101 course to become familiar with Wwise - get your basics strong!

5. Game engine + Middleware = Integration time

Learn how to use Wwise for Unreal in this short course by @GameAudioRes - makes you familiar with most essential features of integration like different containers, RTPCs, States etc.
