What does game audio production include?
Game audio production includes composing original music, recording voiceover dialogue, creating sound effects, and building interactive audio systems. The process includes pre-production planning, asset creation, implementation, and post-production.
What does an audio production workflow look like for games?
Every project starts with understanding the developer's creative vision. At Side, we build a collaborative workflow around your specific needs, whether that means casting and directing voice talent, scoring original music, designing sounds, or managing localization. Our dedicated team works with you throughout the process, establishing clear milestones. With our global network of studios and 30+ years of experience, we adapt our workflow to match your project timeline and technical requirements.
Why is high-quality audio so important for games?
High-quality audio accompanies game visuals to create immersive environments that fully engage players. When audio is done well, it provides critical gameplay information, alerts players to potential threats, and reinforces successful actions. Well-designed audio systems and distinctive musical compositions can also create lasting impressions that deepen player investment and enhance the overall gaming experience.
What if I need both voiceover and localization?
Side specializes in multilingual voiceover localization, from casting authentic regional talent to handling translation and recording. Whether your game is launching in 2 languages or 12, we ensure every version maintains the same character essence, tone, and performance quality.
How do I choose the right company to handle my audio?
The key is taking the time to evaluate whether a studio is the right fit for your project. Look for partners who demonstrate both creative range and technical expertise. Look into their portfolio, and ask about their setup, tools, and experience with projects like yours. At Side, our 30+ years of award-winning experience spans major titles like Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2, and Cyberpunk 2077, with owned studios across six major cities equipped for everything from casting and voice direction to sound design and technical implementation with Unreal, Unity, Wwise, and FMOD.
