I had my sound design showreel reviewed by Power Up Audio’s Kevin Regamey on the Reel Talk livestream this week!
I’ve been watching Reel Talk for several years at this point, but I’ve always felt nervous about putting myself forward for review as the standard of work is incredibly high, and (like a lot of people) I suffer from imposter syndrome pretty badly. However, after putting it off for so long, I realised that this was an opportunity that I simply couldn’t afford to let pass me by, so I sent in an application back in August.
Well, I’m so glad I did, as this was an incredibly eye-opening and useful experience - one that I wish I had signed up for a lot earlier in my sound design journey! I received lots of really useful feedback on my sound design pieces, my video editing choices and my overall website layout, all of which I will be using to inform and improve my work going forward.
Huge thanks to Kevin for taking the time to review and critique my reel piece-by-piece, I’m massively grateful to have had this opportunity.
Also, a big thank you goes out to the lovely Reel Talk audience, who kindly offered plenty of really great suggestions about material selection/web design as well, which I intend to implement ASAP.
So, I’m feeling really inspired and ready to get to work on the next reel - time to go find some cool clips to re-design!
