Audio Direction for Video Games with Adele Cutting
25 Apr, 6pm-8pm, online
About the Masterclass
In this VO masterclass, Adele will discuss the speech production pipeline from casting and script writing through to in-game post production, so that you will have an understanding of where the actor’s role fits into the entire process.
She will explain each of the game development disciplines that interface with this pipeline and talk about the different types of recording sessions you may experience: Single, Group, ADR, Walla, Emotes and Facial. Adele will go on to discuss with you the various microphone setups you may see in a session, as well as the recording techniques used and why.
You will then have the opportunity to read a script under Adele’s direction.
