My Objective---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Is to become one of the greatest sound designers / composers of this age not to seem over

optimistic but why not, I have the passion I have the skills to start of and im determined to get

what I want.

 

Obviously willing to work at the bottom and work up goes without saying, as I have not attained

a job in this area to get the necessary real time experience to jump into a higher ranked job,

but if I was I would give it a go for sure.

 

 

Current Status-------------------------------------------------------------

 

I have just finished a Visual Communication course ( New Media ) aimed at diversifying my skills

in audio creation but enabling sound in programs like Adobe Flash and Adobe Dreamweaver, also

on Video editing software such as Final Cut.

 

I am now in Abertay University doing my Honours project and grabbing any chance I can to make

exciting games, develope new ideas and have a lot of fun.

 

 

Current Skills---------------------------------------------------------------

 

My list of skills grows quite long now but primary to audio they are, PC and Mac Proficiency in Pro

Tools, Cubase, Sound Forge, Audacity, Reason, Sequel, Csound. Other Skills include Proficiency in

(CS3) Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Word 07 and still growing.

 

Profficiency at outdoor and indoor recording, creative thinking and applied solutions to every task

I do. I can work in a team or on my own extremely well and I can discuss my ideas and listen to

others with ease and able to give helpful insights and criticism most recently applied to the latest

game project I worked with.
