Sound effects for audiovisual media

Creating immersive worlds and characterful impacts through rich sound effects

Valentin Spiegel

MY PASSION

Sound has always been a big part of my life. At the age of 6 I was fascinated by rhythm and already knew, that drums would become my instrument of choice. Later, when I was given a Darth Vader action figure with an integrated lightsaber sound effect, I spent most of time listening to the sound by constantly turning the lightsaber on and off. Since then, I knew I had a special connection to audio. Together with my strong enthusiasm for films and games, the road for my journey as a Sound Designer for audiovisual media was set.

MY APPROACH

Sometimes a certain scene in a movie or a game especially moves us. When narrative, audio and visual match perfectly together in harmony, they form a unity, which can deeply resonate with us on a personal level. Therefore it is my goal to create an audio experience, that supports the narrative and perfectly aligns with the visual aesthetics, immersing the audience into the world and thus provides a cohesive and emotional experience.

SOUND DESIGN

Sound effects, ambiences and everyday sounds

When it comes to audiovisual media, sound is not just a supporting role for the visuals. It is half the experience. Sound can also take the lead and tell a story of its own beyond the capabilities of the visuals. The additional, sonic layer enhances the narrative story telling and helps to create an immersive, convincing and vivid world to the audience.

GAME AUDIO

Implementation into Game Engines via Audio Middleware

Creating audio assets is just the first step of game audio. A dynamic playback system adapting to the gameplay is also crucial. Using an Audio Middleware provides advanced technical and creative possibilities, that ensure high quality audio and enables the Sound Designer to implement audio on his own, taking off workload from the programmer.
