Make This Change to Get Better at Sound Design | The Oppositional Tone Technique

[@morganlak4337]

Wow your channel is crazy underrated. I subbed forever ago because of talks you did on hyper light drifter but I didn't realize like how incredible your videos actually were. Binging all of them now

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

You're so kind! Thank you for all your nice comments!!

[@sigurdthemusicdude]

I salute your ‘Go pet a dog movement’

[@strikingtwice]

Man we missed you dearly. Good to have you back. I have pet my dog.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Awww thanks so much! And good. All of these videos are really just secret subliminal messages to get people to pet their dogs.

[@RambunctiousFlan]

Insightful as always! Looking forward to seeing your rise to power in Molossia

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thank you! I will be sure to shower you in Molossian riches for your support

[@zynth_music]

[@Louis_Beri]

New to this channel but already a huge fan.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Awww thanks!!

[@t3rm116]

The internet is very crazy space but then there are people like Akash who is giving away so much value to people in the industry or looking to get in the industry. Thank You this video was so short sweet and direct. I loved it.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

You're very kind to say that ✨

[@DmitriyLyudinovsky]

Such a great content! So glad to see this video at the morning! Inspirational. Thank you very much!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

So glad you liked it!! Thank you!

[@JacobPernell]

this was literally the best video I've ever seen on youtube ever also hair tutorial when pls ktnx

[@TiagoRodriguesMusic]

Hair game always on point.

[@HCosta1001]

What an intro, Akash. Love the storytelling haha.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Hahahah I'm so glad. It's an excuse to show off the irresponsible amount of stupid trivia I know 😂

[@tsoki868]

Inspiring as always, thank you! Funny how realistic sounds usually need some stylized components to spice them up and make them sound richer, more awesome and unique. And vice versa, the stylized ones often need a little something real to ground them so they're not just too weird. Don't care much for the generic "chill beats" in the background, but that's just nitpicking, keep up the good work

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Thanks so much!

[@leonardopaz106]

Amazing, thank you!! As someone who's starting a career in sound design for games, this is very inspiring and informative!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

I'm so happy to hear that!!

[@sashamamzelev6608]

Really diggin this new style of presentation in your videos. And oppositional tone technique sounds like a lot of fun! Thank you, Akash!

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

So glad to hear that! They take forever, but it's worth it if you're digging it!

[@victordl9492]

Great advice as always ! Especially the 5 sec clip to train yourself at sound design (i always experiment SD in too much long clip.. haha. ;) ^^' )

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Hahaha that's true of me too. Trying to do long clips all the time can really slow our progress down!

[@thewafflemancer]

Superb stuff man, its been a while since I've tried my hand at sound design but your exercises make me want to pick it up again

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Haha yeeesss!

[@TheRandomSandwich]

great content as always, as a bit of a sound design noob im actually finding it quite difficult to find visual clips to practice my sound design on, do you have any tips for ways to find them?

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Just google "youtube downloader" and go to town.

[@Damonkang]

love your lectures

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

You are too kind. Thank you!

[@sdfett2596]

Molossia, eh? I'll have to renew my passport. Thanks Akash.

[@brentrichardaudio]

…even sports games. 💣💥💥💥💥

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Just a casual regular game of golf.

[@ChristophJakob]

Realist-ish made me laugh, but just because that's exactly how you pronounce the German word for realistic, 'realistisch' haha.

[@AkashThakkarAudio]

Hah! Amazing!
