Capturing Video Game Audio | Behind The Scene at OMUK with Mark Esdale | URSA Exclusive

We were thrilled to be invited to visit OMUK to see how they record dialogs for Video Game projects.

OMUK (‪@omuk2263‬) is managed by Mark Esdale who has worked in the game industry for over 30 years on titles including "Horizon Zero Dawn" , "The Witcher" , "Monkey Island" & most recently "Atomic Heart"

We ask Mark how they rig microphones to cast, what challenges make video game dialog recording unique & career advice for people looking to get into Video Game Audio.

We also present Mark with the gift of an URSA Head Strap to see if they could try it out for their recording sessions. They can work really well if the performance requires a lot of physicality.
