Instructor Details

Elliot Callighan

Originally a violinist, Elliot began his journey in music and audio using the Suzuki method at the age of four. He began playing piano at eight, guitar at 12 and at 20, Daft Punk convinced him to give the computer a shot, too. (Thankfully!)

Elliot has degrees in Music Composition and Sound Design, and his work has been featured in campaigns for United Airlines, Instagram, Spiderman: Far From Home, GMC, The Godrej Group, Chevrolet Motors, the Goodman Theatre and the Joffrey Ballet as well as many independent films and games.

Elliot always focuses on creating distinct personality and aesthetic in all audio while maintaining that memorable "hummable" factor in his music. He brings this sensibility to his work in games, film, trailer and commercial projects. He has served as Soundpost Co-Chair for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Overture Council and teaches as Adjunct Faculty in the Film and Game programs at DePaul University.

It's good for someone who is just starting their career, but for someone who already has a foundation, there are only a few chapters that are truly useful. I liked the ending that talks about networking.

More then half of the course is about audio basic concepts. As an Audio engineer I wish it was more focused in the game sound construction as it is a game audio course. Having that said, the course has a lot of good content and exercises. If you already work with audio, lots of the content here is redundant

By Lisa Kay Deeter on 11/27/2022

I enjoyed hearing about sound effects in mixing with reverb, delay, and panning. It was a fun course!

Pretty informative. Tougher assignments than in GA 1st course. Some interesting new angles of view on editing to achieve massive sounds.

Nothing was actually "THOUGHT" about Game Audio but few Pro Tools lessons and The Last Chapter was worth the money and all the time!! Thanks! See you in 301
