    Toontown​ ​Rewritten​ ​Development:

    Sound​ ​Designer​ ​Application

    Thank​ ​you​ ​for​ ​showing​ ​interest​ ​in​ ​becoming​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Toontown​ ​Rewritten​ ​Team!​ ​Before​ ​you​ ​start
    filling​ ​out​ ​this​ ​application,​ ​there​ ​are​ ​a​ ​few​ ​things​ ​you​ ​should​ ​know:

    1. Toontown​ ​Rewritten​ ​is​ ​a​ ​volunteer​ ​effort​.​ ​No​ ​income​ ​or​ ​salary​ ​is​ ​provided​ ​as
    compensation​ ​for​ ​anyone’s​ ​involvement.

    2. A​ ​sound​ ​designer’s​ ​role​ ​is​ ​to​ ​create​ ​and​ ​manipulate​ ​sounds​ ​to​ ​create​ ​foley.​​ ​Work​ ​may
    be​ ​used​ ​for​ ​both​ ​in-game​ ​content​ ​and​ ​out-of-game​ ​promotional​ ​material,​ ​such​ ​as​ ​videos.

    3. Variation​ ​is​ ​important.​​ ​As​ ​a​ ​sound​ ​designer,​ ​you​ ​may​ ​be​ ​asked​ ​to​ ​create​ ​multiple​ ​versions
    of​ ​the​ ​same​ ​sound​ ​effect.​ ​It​ ​may​ ​mean​ ​that​ ​you'll​ ​be​ ​going​ ​through​ ​a​ ​unlimited​ ​number​ ​of
    different​ ​ideas​ ​before​ ​getting​ ​a​ ​final​ ​approval.

    4. Critiques​ ​and​ ​feedback​ ​are​ ​always​ ​given​.​ ​You​ ​may​ ​be​ ​asked​ ​to​ ​make​ ​multiple​ ​fixes​ ​before
    it​ ​is​ ​accepted.

    5. Toontown's​ ​style​ ​is​ ​set​ ​in​ ​stone.​ ​When​ ​creating​ ​sound​ ​effects,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​very​ ​important​ ​to​ ​keep
    the​ ​current​ ​style​ ​in​ ​mind.​ ​We​ ​are​ ​working​ ​on​ ​a​ ​game​ ​based​ ​off​ ​of​ ​an​ ​existing​ ​feel​ ​that​ ​the
    original​ ​sound​ ​team​ ​left​ ​behind.

    As​ ​a​ ​sound​ ​designer​ ​for​ ​Toontown​ ​Rewritten,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​creating​ ​new​ ​sound​ ​effects​ ​and​ ​foley​ ​to​ ​be
    used​ ​in-game​ ​for​ ​new​ ​content​ ​and​ ​features.​ ​These​ ​sound​ ​effects​ ​can​ ​be​ ​as​ ​subtle​ ​as​ ​a​ ​footstep​ ​to
    as​ ​extravagant​ ​as​ ​a​ ​factory,​ ​done​ ​in​ ​a​ ​manner​ ​which​ ​enhances​ ​the​ ​cartoon​ ​atmosphere​ ​of​ ​the​ ​game.

    We​ ​are​ ​searching​ ​for​ ​people​ ​familiar​ ​with​ ​recording​ ​and​ ​manipulating​ ​foley​ ​effects​ ​in​ ​a​ ​way​ ​which
    reflects​ ​the​ ​wacky,​ ​cartoon​ ​world​ ​of​ ​Toontown.

    Position​ ​Requirements:
    ● Must​ ​be​ ​at​ ​least​ ​13​ ​years​ ​of​ ​age.
    ● Comfortable​ ​working​ ​primarily​ ​within​ ​a​ ​DAW,​ ​recording​ ​and​ ​manipulating​ ​sounds​ ​to​ ​achieve
    certain​ ​effects​ ​and​ ​create​ ​new​ ​effects.
    ● Must​ ​be​ ​the​ ​primary​ ​owner​ ​of​ ​the​ ​computer​ ​used​ ​for​ ​sharing​ ​confidential​ ​files.
    ● Have​ ​sufficient​ ​time​ ​to​ ​dedicate​ ​for​ ​communication​ ​and​ ​discussion​ ​on​ ​top​ ​of​ ​the​ ​time​ ​used​ ​for
    sound​ ​designing.

    Submit​ ​the​ ​result​ ​with​ ​answers​ ​to​ ​above​ ​questions​ ​in​ ​an​ ​email​ ​to​ ​[email protected]​.

    Required​ ​Challenge
    Try​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a​ ​Toon​ ​walking​ ​sound​ ​effect​ ​that​ ​could​ ​be​ ​used​ ​in​ ​game.​ ​The​ ​sound​ ​effect​ ​should
    sound​ ​like​ ​it​ ​fits​ ​in​ ​the​ ​game,​ ​and​ ​ideally​ ​it​ ​should​ ​sync​ ​up​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Toon​ ​animation​ ​loop.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​use
    Disney’s​ ​footstep​ ​loop​ ​(found​ ​in​ ​the​ ​phase​ ​files,​ ​in​ ​phase_3.5​ ​->​ ​audio​ ​->​ ​sfx​ ​->
    AV_footstep_walkloop.ogg)​ ​as​ ​a​ ​starting​ ​point,​ ​but​ ​try​ ​to​ ​be​ ​creative​ ​with​ ​it​ ​instead​ ​of​ ​simply
    replicating​ ​it.​ ​Remember​ ​that​ ​Toontown​ ​is​ ​a​ ​wacky,​ ​fun​ ​place!

    Extra​ ​Details:
    ● Should​ ​loop​ ​properly,​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​sync​ ​up​ ​with​ ​the​ ​walk​ ​animation.​ ​We​ ​recommend​ ​testing​ ​the​ ​file
    in-game​ ​using​ ​a​ ​resource​ ​pack.
    ● Please​ ​include​ ​a​ ​rendered​ ​.ogg​ ​audio​ ​file​ ​of​ ​the​ ​track​ ​in​ ​addition​ ​to​ ​an​ ​.mp3,​ ​.ogg,​ ​or​ ​similar​ ​file​ ​of
    the​ ​original​ ​sound/recording​ ​you​ ​used.
    ● Also​ ​include​ ​screenshot​ ​of​ ​your​ ​mixing​ ​board​ ​or​ ​similar​ ​equivalent​ ​to​ ​see​ ​how​ ​you​ ​achieved
    specific​ ​effects.

    Additionally,​ ​please​ ​provide​ ​other​ ​examples​ ​of​ ​your​ ​work​ ​with​ ​a​ ​link​ ​to​ ​your​ ​website,​ ​YouTube,
    SoundCloud,​ ​or​ ​any​ ​other​ ​host​ ​that​ ​you​ ​use​ ​for​ ​presenting​ ​your​ ​work​ ​online​ ​to​ ​listeners.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​don’t
    use​ ​a​ ​website​ ​host,​ ​please​ ​attach​ ​your​ ​portfolio​ ​pieces​ ​to​ ​this​ ​email​ ​as​ ​.mp3​ ​or​ ​.ogg​ ​audio​ ​files.​ ​You
    must​ ​include​ ​at​ ​least​ ​three​ ​pieces​ ​of​ ​your​ ​best​ ​work.

    We​ ​thank​ ​you​ ​again​ ​for​ ​showing​ ​your​ ​interest​ ​in​ ​helping​ ​us​ ​out!​ ​After​ ​we​ ​receive​ ​your​ ​response,​ ​we’ll
    file​ ​your​ ​credentials​ ​for​ ​future​ ​reference.
