I started working as a profesional sound designer in October 2022. Since then, I&#8217;ve gained experience in a wide variety of games ranging from indie games to AAA games.\u00a0<\/p><p>Something I always strive for in my sound design is to infuse each project with a unique character. (And add a personal touch whenever possible). I\u2019ve worked across a variety of genres and sound types, but my true strength and passion lie in crafting massive, over the top sounds &#8211; think explosions, mech bosses, large-scale destruction, cinematics and guns. I achieve this by capturing unusual recordings that also resonate<span style=\"color: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u00a0with me personally or by using Serum.<\/span><\/p><p>I consistently deliver high-quality audio on time and aligned with the project\u2019s creative vision, ensuring that even the smallest details are polished. And other than my usual responsibilities I try to look for ways to help my colleagues in any way possible and to see if I can help improve broader workflows in the company. One of the ways is to record new sounds which I add to the company&#8217;s internal library (all named with UCS) for my colleagues to use in their projects.<\/p><p>One of my proudest achievements is usually when I record weird source material for assets in game. For example, I recorded a Beyblade battle with contact mics and processed them with Argotlunar to make sounds for a mech boss. Or recording a colleague gargling and using it for an alien creature.<\/p><p>I am also an avid techno producer, releasing on labels regularly under the alias <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/6zHHQMcBM9ENS0RJTqZ5GR?si=880718a2734e4b80\">Bastian Horro<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf770ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"cf770ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">View Portfolio<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d31d4f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d31d4f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d60a1a1\" data-id=\"d60a1a1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce15919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-caster-cta-widget\" data-id=\"ce15919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"caster-cta-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t<div class=\"cta\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-background-text\">\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGET IN TOUCH\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:viraj.ramsharan@gmail.com\" title=\"Email Us\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\tviraj.ramsharan@gmail.com\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About me \u00a0I am a video game sound designer based in the UK.
