I’ve been an audio engineer in the music industry for years and lately in the past 5 years most of my clients have been Podcast clients. Really interested to dig into editing/mixing for audiobooks. Is there a network I could join that you would recommend where people are looking for editors/mixers?

I may be overthinking it, but I feel like the audiobook world is a little bit like sound design for games where it’s like a secret cult to try and get into lol.

I have a strong background in the music industry as a producer / engineer, but wanting to migrate over into working on designing sounds and composing for games. What are some ways to start knocking down doors in this area? It's an ongoing joke amongst us audio engineers that the gaming audio world is almost like a secret society lol. Is learning Unity, etc & having game engines somewhat already under your belt the best way to go? Mock-up demo reels taking game footage but using your own compositions and sounds? Best route to submit to game dev companies? Thanks in advance! Spreading good vibes.
