George Vlad is a sound recordist, photographer and expedition leader with a keen interest in wildlife and conservation. George travels extensively and records a variety of sounds, from natural ambiences and wildlife to odd vehicles and vintage aircraft. He also supports a variety of conservation initiatives around the world, either directly, by sharing my work with them or by employing them in my travels. When he's not traveling George works as a sound designer and composer for video games from his studio in Southern England. His audio work is heard by millions of players every month.\nIn this episode, we discuss:\n\nLanguages\n\nBurning Out\n\nThe Draw of the Outdoors\n\nThe Listening Experience\n\nTravel\n\nEcology\n\nThe language of Birds\n\nField Recording Technique\n\nTrip Planning\n\nMan Made Sounds\n\nThreat of Extinction\n\nRecording Attention\n\nBribes\n\nFear\n\nAdventure\n\nFixers\n\nPacking\n\nBees\n\nExperience vs ROI\n\nSound Libraries\n\nSound Design\n\nGame Sound Implementation\n\n\nLinks and Show Notes:\n\n\nMake Time Book: https://amzn.to/2ZcIOMb\n\n\n\nGeorge on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2A1TEfw\n\n\n\nGeorge's Site #1: Mindful-Audio.com\n\n\n\nGeorge's Site #2 Georgevlad.com\n\n\n\nGeorge on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/georgevlad\n\n\n\nPortfolio at https://www.game-sounds.com/projects\n\n\n\nWCA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/working_class_audio\n\n\n\nSupport WCA - Go Ad-Free!\xa0https://glow.fm/workingclassaudio/\n\n\n\nConnect with Matt on Linkedin:\xa0https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattboudreau/\n\n\n\nCurrent sponsors & promos:\xa0https://bit.ly/2WmKbFw\n\n\n\nWorking Class Audio Journal:\xa0https://amzn.to/2GN67TP\n\n\n\nCredits:\n\n\nGuest:\xa0George Vlad\n\n\nHost:\xa0Matt Boudreau\xa0\n\n\nWCA Theme Music:\xa0Cliff Truesdell\xa0\n\n\nAnnouncer:\xa0Chuck Smith\n\n\nEditing:\xa0Anne-Marie Pleau & Matt Boudreau\n\n\nAdditional Music:\xa0The License Lab
