Making art together, delivering assets that go beyond expectations, demands communication skills and above all the right mindset. For you to get the best out of our team, here are some thoughts that our best clients already had. I hope you find this article useful! In my own journey I have seen these kinds of ideas being implemented in so many different professional settings, and the people who master these skills do have a great chance of having plenty of professional opportunities.
Today we will be focusing on Game Audio Projects, but you can take this information and apply it to different creative areas.
- Be patient and respectful
When working together and creating art it can take time to get on the same page. Don’t assume that what you’ve described is necessarily easy for the game audio team to understand or to take action upon. They may need a bit of time to reflect on your perspective and suggestions to experiment and move it to a much closer idea on what fits your project needs.
- Open Communication
Fab clients keep the lines of communication open, they offer support during the process and make it clear that we’re in the project together.
- Know when to let go
Revision is just part of any creative delivery, but going through the project process will naturally enhance all asset’s quality. So learn how to let go on tiny demands.
If you want to learn more about giving a correct feedback on any project. I recommend reading the article “How to Brief and Give Feedback” to a project.
It takes time to find a great audio team that you are confident and comfortable working with and whose talent you really respect and admire. Once you’ve found it, stick with them and trust them to create music and sound fx that will truly enhance your project.
