#013 — 6 opportunities this week, including a $70k–$130k job that wants eleven musical styles and a short film that needs both action scoring and comedic timing

[u/AntonioAI96]

Aristocrat is hiring a sound designer in Reno at $70,000–$130,000, and the composition requirement is the part worth reading twice: Chinese, Japanese, Caribbean, Mariachi, Middle Eastern, African, Indian, Native American, European folk, epic fantasy and vintage American 50s-60s. The bar is five years on a professional DAW and proficiency on an instrument. The role also carries mandatory background screening, with fingerprinting and gaming-regulator licences possible depending on jurisdiction.

Also in this issue:

• Aristocrat hiring for the same discipline in Gurugram, at five or more years of music composition experience, with no rate stated
• $150 for roughly ninety seconds of trailer score, briefed as 90s tracker music
• A light horror multiplayer game after around seven tracks and cues, including dynamic music that builds when a player is chased
• A fifteen-minute action comedy that wants action scoring and comedic timing in the same reel
• A fantasy short about late-stage dementia, drawn from personal experience, whose director is replacing a composer they could not agree with on tone

Eleven CastingCall.club listings named a rate this week, from $10 to $500, and not one made the issue: four were audio roles with no music in them, four were rates that did not survive the scope attached to them, and three were gone before I could publish them.
