Let's learn about how these unique voices are brought to life by some of the best sound designers in the games industry: Michael Kent - God of War: Ragnarok, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Beau Jimenez - The Last of Us: Part II, God of War: Ragnarok Jeff Darby - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Death Stranding Ash Read - Horizon: Forbidden West, Returnal

From Immersive soundscapes to Mass battles | Creative Assembly

In this livestream, Creative Assembly’s developers; their Senior Dialogue Engineer - Victoria Prentice, Principal Sound Designer - Jon Newman and Lead Sound Designer - James Magee, will be discussing their approaches to creating immersive soundscapes for mass battles and character-driven dialogue. With the possibility of multiple activities happening on screen, game sound must convey action clearly and in different ways. The interactive nature of gameplay stands it apart from the music and film industries where audio is linear. With games, it is not possible to know exactly what the player will do and where they will go, the audio must account for these complexities, creating sound for different locations, interactions, characters and events. Join CA live as our experts break down their process, the different disciplines within an AAA audio department, key considerations throughout development and the tools and skills required. #CreativeAssembly #TotalWar #AlienIsolation Keep up to date: https://twitter.com/cagames https://en-gb.facebook.com/CreativeAssembly/ Find out more: https://www.creative-assembly.com/ https://www.creative-assembly.com/careers/ -------------------------------------------------------------- "GATHERING THE GREATEST" We gather the greatest talent out there, coming together to craft authentic and detailed experiences of the highest quality.

This is why the intelligibility and fluency of dialogue is key in serving the ultimate goal of immersing viewers in the story of the film without interruption. In the latest exclusive tutorial for Pro Sound Effects, sound artist Matt Yocum (Pet Sematary, The Cloverfield Paradox) demonstrates his approach to mixing dialogue for film.

Why we all need subtitles now

It's not you — the dialogue in TV and movies has gotten harder to hear. Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Have you ever been watching a show or movie, and then a character delivers a line so unintelligible you have to scramble to find the remote and rewind? For me, this moment came during the climax of the Pete Davidson film “The King of Staten Island,” where his most important line was impossible to understand. I had to rewind three times — and eventually put subtitles on — to finally pick up what he was saying. This experience isn’t unique — gather enough people together and you can generally separate them into two categories: People who use subtitles, and people who don’t. And according to a not-so-scientific YouTube poll we ran on our Community tab, the latter category is an endangered species — 57% of you said you always use subtitles, while just 12% of you said you generally don’t. But why do so many of us feel that we need subtitles to understand the dialogue in the things we watch? The answer to that question is complex – and we get straight to the bottom of it in this explainer, with the help of dialogue editor Austin Olivia Kendrick.

A single line, much like a single picture, can speak volumes. Over the years, there have been many great writers in Hollywood. Likewise, many great films made their way into the zeitgeist and will forever be quoted. To break down the best dialogue in cinema, we will take two different approaches to look at the spoken word. One will focus on the overall dialogue in film. This list will include movies that are driven by their dialogue, whether by nuance or outright ferocity. The other list will focus on one-liners. This list will highlight the moments in film that blow away the viewer with one line of dialogue.

Dutch & German dialogue that sounds like English

Dutch & German dialogue that sounds like English

Germanic languages share a common ancestor and are closely related. Normally, most of them are different enough that they’re not mutually intelligible. But is it possible to construct “universal” dialogues of Germanic languages that can be mutually understood by various Germanic languages? In this video I constructed an example. You will hear what it sounds like in various Germanic languages, not just in mainstream Germanic languages, but also in lesser known languages like Frisian and Low German. And what would it sound like in their common ancestor language Proto-Germanic?
