One Vision Unite
"Our exclusive focus is capturing the best dialogue performance and delivering the highest quality audio post-production." - Samuel Girardin

It sounds so simple and it should.  Unless you have millions invested in the latest audio gear and a dedicated team that's obsessed with innovation, you're probably wasting your resources on sub-par audio for your game.  Developing next-gen games is what the video game industry is built on and the sonic experience is equally as important as the visuals.  Often the difference between a four-star and a five-star award-winning game is in the audio.  Sound instantly brings emotion to the experience.  Great Sound = Awards.

"Dialogue is the only true human element in a game.” – Amanda Wyatt

While many other established recording studios supplement their film and T.V. resume with video game work, Game On Audio's proprietary game sound technology ensures a unique position in the market as one of the few worldwide studio networks exclusively creating sound for video games. As an innovative technology leader, Game On Audio embraces the gamer’s need for sound that rivals image. Whether you're a developer looking for the best voice actors or a publisher looking for an "award-sounding" title, Game On Audio is your solution.
What They Say

“Friendly and professional staff, beautiful studios, top notch directors and kick ass results.  Game On Audio know how to bring it!”

M. Noah Sarid

Talent Associate, Activision Blizzard

 

"Sam and his team are always my first pick for recordings... Sam works with extremely talented voice directors and actors, and his engineers are top-notch. They always go that extra mile and never over-charge, despite the often-insane deadlines imposed on them."

M. Gabrielle Shrager 

Senior Game Writer, Ubisoft France



"Amanda and Game On Audio are awesome!  We used them for casting, voice directing, and VO recording.  I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use them again.  There have been so many times when I was at the session thinking “we should do a different take with a little more …”  Then suddenly and without prompting Amanda would chime in and direct the talent in a way exactly as I was thinking.  It was like she read my mind!"

Greg Shaw
Microsoft Game Studio


"Time is always extremely limited during game development; it’s great to know I can trust Game On to get it done right the first time.  Impressive turn-around time allows me to get audio in-game fast.  The Venice location is close to LAX and makes for an easy day-trip from the West Coast, and being blocks from Venice Beach, it also makes for a fun multi-day trip."

Brandon Seltz
Sound Designer, Microsoft Game Studio


"We're very happy with the results we've seen on Assassin's Creed: Revelations both in terms of the quality of the performances and from a production standpoint. We are fully confident that this will be the industry-standard workflow moving forward."

Margherita Seconnino
Localization Manager, Ubisoft


"Working with Game On takes the pitfalls out of the pipeline – quality, dependability and experience that can always be relied upon to deliver."

Nicholas Grimwood
Scriptwriter, Ubisoft


"Game On Audio's level of experience and professionalism is above par, making them my first choice for whatever project I'm working on. Couple that with a fantastic staff, cutting edge technology, and a passion to deliver the best quality sound makes this studio one of the best recording studios around."

Richard Calamatas
Voice Designer, Ubisoft


"If you need something done and you don't want to worry about the output, Game On is really the place to go."

Dave Massicotte
Eidos Montreal


"Despite the incredible challenges thrown into our pipelines over the years, Game On have always reacted with the right attitude and helped us deliver the goods. Not to mention their coffee is to die for!"

A.J. Abbyad
Voice Designer, Ubisoft


"Game On provides some of the best suited facilities for anyone’s needs in regards to VO recordings. Not only the entire staff is at the highest level of competence but they already master all the production & data delivery constraints that are specific to the VideoGame world. Their workflow is as modular than it is efficient. Something as important as VO content requires more than half measures. This is why we look towards Game On."
