Amazing Stories Told Through Audio

Hi, I'm Daryl! I help game developers tell incredible stories through audio. With over 17 years of experience in audio production and story-driven scoring, I know how to get your player emotionally invested in your game.

I've worked on award-winning games like the Timecrest series, provided audio branding for Humble Bundle, and strive to be a resource to anyone with an interest in game audio.
