Cover Letter
Hello, I wish to submit my resume for a position of 'Lead Audio Designer' in your company. I am a Game Audio Designer / Music Composer - Producer from Mumbai, India. I have more than 8 years experience in Music production and am quite independent in my approach towards music making. While working as an Audio lead in an Indian gaming company, I produced quality audio for various gaming platforms. This boosted my efficiency in Game music production. I am now more excited about this job and looking for bigger and better challenges. I love playing games, so I am naturally inspired to create Audio for games. Be it a small but detailed Sound FX or a major Intro music theme I am equally enthusiastic about producing every Audio asset and refine it till it is positively contributing to an overall game experience. My key skills Audio Production Music, Sound FX, Foley. Sound Recording & Mixing. Audio Mastering. I am open to work under various employment modes like Full-time, Contract, Freelancing, etc. I assure that I would cohesively merge within a group and work with teams smoothly. I am a fast learner.

I believe one ought not have 'Million dollar studio' to produce good Audio. Knowing your talent and gear is the key!
Regards, Shrivats Kulkarni.
