Hello to the audio community here! I’m Christa, a freelance sound designer/dialog editor/mixer for various media. I’ve worked on a little bit of everything from ads, to films, to games, but I really would love to work on more sound for animation and video games 🖤

This has been such an amazing year of new video games for me: been playing Expedition 33, Blue Prince, Dave the Diver, and finally started Baldur’s Gate 3 🥹 all so good

I don’t need a Valentine. I need 6 million dollars and for my DAW to stop crashing 🖤

Happy 3 year anniversary 🎉🖤

All this thread to say, when I was first starting my audio journey I was really overwhelmed with how I would get to a setup or level of experience to succeed. But it turns out, all of us in audio are just doing our best and taking things day by day. 🖤

About 2 years ago I decided to build my own studio desk and was able to upgrade to a Mac Studio. Grabbed some acoustic panels from Gik Acoustics too and that made a huge difference

The year after that I got a new interface and a piano (again on discount). My furman is being held up by a plastic bin and a random road case I found in the back warehouse of my former job haha. This is where I finally felt like I was getting somewhere freelancing, and that it might just work out.

A year later I saved up and got 2 Yamaha monitors from my music retail job on discount and then charged an iMac on a credit card. Best thing I ever did- upgrading my Mac allowed me to take on better projects!

This is how my setup began: an old MacBook and some monitors that I was borrowing. This was about 6 years ago.

I started my freelance career in this very room, had so many memories here, but it’s on to better things! Weird to see it so empty
