Student Review
Class Recommended By Geunhye Oh & Jungkun Park's Students
-
Changyoung LeeThis class completely destroyed my preconception that sound design simply involves making sound effects. It helped me realize that sounds evoke emotions and immersion, serving as a primary tool for progressing the narrative. I could also foster the ability to "design," not just "hear," by placing sounds and setting them up to respond differently to each situation through Unreal Engine exercises. It is a class that skillfully balances practice with theory, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to create a more immersive gameplay experience!

Interview with
Sound Artists, Geunhye Oh & Jungkun Park
Question.01
How are your unique strengths integrated into this class curriculum?
Our strength is that we are professionals with real-world experience who have worked at a top gaming company that sets trends for game sounds and music. We have designed sounds and directly participated in development since long before this field had its own dedicated systems, going through more trial and error than anyone, and this applies to both of us! This class is packed with useful knowledge about teams involved in collaboration and their roles, tools and engines used, middleware, real-world planning and creation processes, and pre-launch optimization, not to mention various jobs related to sound design.
Question.02
What sets this class apart from existing classes?
In a specific sense, sound design and composing music may seem like two different jobs, but they are connected as one at large. It's like how the field of art can be divided into background art, modeling, effects and so on. This class is designed to help you experience both music and sounds, without getting lost in a sea of platforms and lectures. Plus, it includes practical interview tips by a former hiring manager at a gaming company.
Question.03
Who do you recommend Series 1 to and why?
First of all, we recommend it to beginners who are interested in game sounds and music but don't know where or how to start. For those who are already working in the industry but feel their growth stagnating, it will provide insight into the ways of thinking and know-how used by professionals, as well as trials and errors they go through. If you are a solo developer without any knowledge about game sound design, you'll be able to experience the planning and creation processes with ease, whereas startups and SMEs that can't afford to hire a sound designer will be able to reduce development costs by learning the basics required to understand, plan and apply sound design.
