Game Audio in Spain : What I Saw and What I Did

Guest contribution by Mirella Diez Moran My name is Mirella, I’m a video game sound designer and I’m Spanish too. I guess that in any other country none of these things would be particularly relevant, but given that there are very few people working in video game sound over here-not many more than twenty people-I guess I’m like some sort of unicorn.

Women in Audio: Yes, We Exist!

Guest Contribution by April Tucker Last year, I got one of the weirdest compliments I've ever heard: “You’re a real unicorn!” I was working with a mixer who I had recently met (but was an established mixer), and he looked at me in amazement as I asked questions about his workflow. “I've heard of Lora Hirschberg and Anna Behlmer, but I've never met a female mixer. I’m sorry I’m … [Read more...]

Equality is a Necessity

Equality is a Necessity

This month on Designing Sound we are celebrating the Women's History Month with only posting contributions from female members of the community. There is so much to say about living in the year 2015 and still needing a special "month" to create awareness about the success, the stories and basically the existence of a whole gender. But as it is evident from the amount of … [Read more...]
