Why Audio Matters More Than You Think
Here's something most designers miss: players might not notice great sound design, but they'll definitely feel its absence. A well-timed footstep. The satisfying click of a menu button. The shift in music when danger approaches.
These aren't decorations. They're the invisible threads that keep someone engaged with your game. And they're skills you can actually learn — not just talent reserved for people with fancy studios or music degrees.
We focus on mobile games specifically because they have unique challenges. Limited speaker quality. Competing with outside noise. Short play sessions where every second of audio needs to count. That's what makes this interesting.
How You'll Actually Learn This
We skip the theory-heavy approach. Instead, you'll work on real scenarios — the kind of audio challenges that show up in actual mobile game development.
Start With Practical Tools
Learn software and recording techniques that work on standard equipment. You don't need a professional studio to create professional results — just the right methods and enough practice.
Build Real Game Audio
Create UI sounds, background ambience, and character audio for mobile game scenarios. Each project gives you hands-on experience solving the kinds of problems you'll face in real development work.
Refine Through Feedback
Get direct input on your work from people who've shipped games. Learn what works, what doesn't, and why — the kind of insight that only comes from actually doing this professionally.
Skills That Transfer Across Projects
Recording and Editing Fundamentals
Capture clean audio, remove unwanted noise, and layer sounds to create depth. These basics apply whether you're working on puzzle games or action titles.
Adaptive Audio Systems
Design sound that responds to player actions and game states. Learn how to create audio that shifts seamlessly as gameplay evolves — without breaking immersion.
Technical Implementation
Understand audio formats, compression, and how to work within mobile hardware limitations. Know when to prioritize quality and when file size matters more.
Collaborative Workflow
Communicate effectively with designers, developers, and other audio professionals. Learn how to present your work and integrate feedback constructively.
Finnegan Whitlock
Mobile Game Audio Designer
I came in knowing basically nothing about audio production. What helped most was working on actual game scenarios instead of just theoretical exercises. By the third month, I had a portfolio piece that got me noticed by a small studio. The program didn't promise me a job — it gave me skills I could actually demonstrate. That's what mattered when it came time to apply for positions.
Ready to Start Creating Audio?
Our next cohort begins in several months. Classes run on a flexible schedule designed for people who have other commitments — whether that's a current job, studies, or family responsibilities.
You'll need basic computer skills and a willingness to experiment. Previous music or audio experience helps but isn't required. We'll cover everything from the ground up.
