Session Name:

The Art of Cherry-Picking: Selectively Ignoring Career Advice

Overview:

When starting a game audio career, it's very common to receive a barrage of well-meaning advice, both directly from those working in the industry and through various articles and online sources. But each person's situation is different, and advice is not one size fits all. How can anyone determine what's applicable and what can be disregarded? In this talk, sound designer Jamie Lee (A Shell in the Pit), senior audio programmer David Su (Brass Lion Entertainment), and composer/music implementer Megan Carnes (independent) share questions attendees can ask themselves when deciding whether to listen to a piece of advice. They also reveal how sometimes going against conventional wisdom helped them to build careers that they truly love.
