Max Meisel, Sr Sound Designer, Archetype Entertainment

Sound designer and Foley artist who specializes in Game Audio. I have been a musician practically my whole life and have developed a strong passion for music, sound, and all things audio over the course of my life. Video games, along with music, have played a huge role in my development as a person. It only made sense for me to take my passion for audio and games and focus it into something I can build my life around. There are few things as satisfying to me as breathing life into a game through sound design. Taking a game from concept to release through the lens of sound is such an amazing and important experience for me both personally and professionally. A mentor of mine once said that great sound design shouldn't always be noticed. The best sound design is the kind that draws the listener in, and for a moment, they can believe they are somewhere they are not. My goal is to make the listener believe they are in that world or moment.
