Game Audio Overview
●
●
●
Like film audio, game audio is comprised of
speech, sound effects & music
However, unlike film audio, the audio is
interactive and must respond to changes in
gameplay
Older systems were limited by RAM so
synthesis was best then systems had more
RAM to allow for sampling

Contractor Rates
●
Approx. $1000/min. of music for work-for-hire1&2
●
Extra is charged for difficulty level of music
●
Casual games and licensing are less
●
●
Sound effects are sometimes as low as $5 to
$75+ per sound effect depending on complexity
Speech lines are often billed by the line and
usually separate out voice talent fees
