Create A Video Game Sound Design Demo Reel That Gets You Noticed!

Even If You've Never Worked On A Game Before!

Are you unsure about how to create a demo reel that captures attention and clearly communicates your abilities and skills as a sound designer?

Are you tired of submitting a game audio demo reel that keeps getting rejected?

Do you want easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions for creating a captivating demo reel?

Most demo reels are vague, obscure, and confusing...

I also know what it feels like to send out dozens of sound design applications at gaming studios never to hear back from anyone. Unfortunately, the demo reel is often the place where people get rejected.

That’s why I created the Demo Reel Blueprint Course, so that you can have a direct framework for creating a demo reel that clearly communicates your desires, skills, and abilities so that you can improve your chances of getting that game audio job you’ve always wanted.

Here are some of the benefits you will get from the course:

FAQ

“What if I've never worked on a game before?”

That's totally fine. You don't need to have worked on a game to create a demo reel. You can still create a demo reel using redesigns. I'll show you how to do that in the course!

"How much time will it take to complete the course and my sound design demo reel?"

The course itself is around two and a half hours long. For your demo reel, if you have all your clips designed and ready to go, then you could potentially have your demo reel completed in as little as 2-3 hours.

"I am a composer and sound designer, does this course touch on how to create a music demo reel?"

At this time, the course does not have any lessons on how to create a game music demo reel.

"Is a demo reel even necessary?"

Though it is possible to get work without a demo reel, most gaming studios require a demo reel along with the application if they want to consider you for the position. If you work as a freelancer, a demo reel is a great way to showcase your experience and abilities making it a lot easier for others to want to work with you. Plus, it's a good idea to always have a reel on hand as you never know when an opportunity will show up and require you to have a demo reel to show.

"How long do I get access to this course?"

When you purchase the course, you get lifetime access to the course. My hope is that you will use it as a resource to come back to and reference whenever you need.

PRO DEMO REEL GUARANTEE

If, within 30 days, you do not feel like you got the value needed to create a professional demo reel, then I will refund you 100% of your money.

No questions asked. Hassle-free. Risk free.

I am not asking you to decide yes or no today. I am asking you to make a fully informed decision. That is all. The only way you can make a fully informed decision is on the inside, not on the outside. So, get on the inside and see if everything I teach and demonstrate is good and valuable to you. Then, if it is, you can decide if you want to keep the course or not. If it’s not for you, no hard feelings. You will then, after getting the course, be able to make the fully informed decision that this isn’t for you. But you can’t make that decision right now for the same reason you don’t buy a house without first looking at the inside.

And know this, whether its in 30 minutes or 30 days from now, if you’re not happy, I’m not  happy. If for any reason whatsoever, you want your money back, you can get it back because I only keep your money if you’re happy. All you have to do is email me at david@daviddumaisaudio.com and I will issue a refund as soon as possible.

I am making this guarantee because I am confident that if you follow through with this course, you will learn exactly what it takes to create one (or many) quality demo reel that will help you get that dream game audio job you’ve always wanted.

PLUS, If you do decide this isn’t for you, I want you to keep the DRB Sound Pack ($50 value) as a gift from me to you wishing you all the best on your future endeavors.
