Audio QA
As the Audio QA I was fully integrated to the Audio team and provided support to all members via different tasks and mandates. My quality control included everything that falls under ambiances, sfx, music, cinematic and voices in the entire game
I helped debugging the game using Wwise profiling tools, editor costum debug tools visual debug displays… and some of my own tricks. I also provided detailed audio tests cases for other testers as well as for external QA ressources.
