Who are we?

SkewSound is a full-service audio studio dedicated to creating signature sound and music for games, VR experiences, and linear media.

We are passionate about memorable scores, impactful sounds, and immersive environments. With every new project, we create exceptional audio that invokes emotion, empowers storytellers, and brings worlds to life. 

You’re creating something amazing. Let SkewSound make it unforgettable.

Agile & Adaptable

We are a small team of audio veterans, each with unique and finely honed skills and more than a fifty years combined in the industry. When your needs shift and deadlines change, we pivot and scale to provide laser-focused support. With SkewSound, you always get an entire audio team, whether you’re working on a shoestring budget and just need a few sounds, or you’re making the next triple-A blockbuster title.

We provide the gear

Let’s face it – professional audio equipment is specialized and expensive. Each SkewSound office is a fully equipped studio, with state of the art tools, software, and instruments, suited for any task. If there’s something we need, we get it; and if it doesn’t exist, we make it.

On-site or Remote

SkewSound has members in Seattle, Portland, Nashville, and Boston, and we regularly provide these local markets with in-house support. If remote help is what you need, we have experience providing our services to clients all over the world.

Our work

What do we do?

Sound Design

Immersive environments. Powerful weaponry. Creatures that live and breath. Sound effects are a critical component to creating a believable and engaging experience, and at SkewSound we treat each one as a creation essential to the success of your project. From the smallest footsteps to the largest monsters, each asset tells a little bit of the story. We source our own foley and effects, giving each project a unique soundscape.

Virtual Reality

VR projects require a unique approach to audio over more traditional forms of media. Not only is audio more important in a virtual environment, but properly formatted and implemented audio is critical to the immersion provided by the platform. We can provide numerous services, such as spatial audio and ambisonic content creation, scalable audio implementation, and mixing for mobile or PC VR systems. Our industry-recognized VR contributions can be experienced on several different platforms, including Oculus, Steam VR, and Playstation VR.

Music

Few elements of a creative project carry as much emotional weight as a well written score. SkewSound composers Steve Pardo and Chris Wilson can bring a fresh perspective to your game, film, or spot. We can provide linear or interactive music in a variety of styles, from sweeping orchestral score to driving electronic soundscapes, with a particular emphasis on unique sounds and instruments, even if we have to build them ourselves. From initial sketches through production, recording, mix and master, we take an open and iterative approach with our partners in crafting the perfect accompaniment to your project.

Voiceover & Dialogue

Nothing speaks like the human voice, and good casting, direction, and editing will help your characters come alive. SkewSound can help with projects of all sizes, from fully voiced MMOs to made-up emotes for indie titles. We also have the experience to produce localized English VO for market expansions and regular dialogue content for ongoing serialized media.

Implementation

When working with games and other interactive projects, creating great audio is half of the job. How that audio performs is the difference between dull, flat sounds and award-winning immersion. At SkewSound, we have extensive experience working in a wide variety of engines and middleware solutions. If you just need a little bit of help, we can provide consultation services at any stage of your project, or we can perform a full sound audit to review audio performance, platform management, and optimization. In the Seattle, Boston, Nashville, and Portland markets, we can work on-site with you and your team, or we are just as comfortable working remotely using your preferred method of source control.
