Fast-track your way as a
professional producer
I didn’t know how to play any instruments and I didn’t know what exactly I wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist but I was open to do it for film, for games etc. Pyramind helped me try myself in everything and the camaraderie with the students and the teachers made for a really positive experience.

Some of the most important things I learned at Pyramind that I use the most are game audio implementation and game audio technology… I had started learning programing on my own to supplement the classes and that on top of the classes that taught me how to get started in Unity, how to put audio into a level and mix in game was really usefull. Just after graduating Pyramind got me an interview with Nick Gallant, Audio Direcor at Disney Interactive and that was first job out of school.

The relationships I gained through this school were incredible and vita. I got my internship opportunity with DoubleFine through Pyramind and was mentored by the award-winning Game Audio Director, Emily Ridgway. I also got to work beside one of the best sound designers, Brian Min, all under the roof of video game icon, Tim Schafer... Now I’m the Audio Director!

I came to Pyramind because I’ve been a musician my whole life and I was always very intrigued by interactive music for games and I wanted to learn from the very best so I came here.

We were a few months into our program and that gave us a lot of time to sit in the studio and experiment, creating a project together, and trying to make something we could market and make successful.

What I liked so much about Pyramind instructors is how they cater the knowledge to you. They teach you exactly what you need to succeed. They know what works and if it doesn’t work they won’t waste your time with it. When I started I was not a great producer and I have Pyramind to thank for being able to craft my sound. And since graduating they’re still supportive of me!

Pyramind provided me a supportive environment to learn and participate with others that share my interest in game audio. Their excellent instructors helped inspire and focus my passion. Their frequent events related to music and games helped me to learn from and network with many important people in the game audio community.

The Pyramind ecosystem is great because I obviously want to learn & get better at what I do but my number one goal coming out here from a small town was to network.
