Jesse Jenkins

Hello, my name is Jesse Jenkins, and I'm a sound designer based near Austin, TX. I've been developing audio for about 10 years, with a heavy focus on sound synthesis. A lot of those years were focusing on producing music, and learning fundamentals such as mixing, mastering, foley art, synthesis, etc.. Since then I have worked with companies like Zynga, tinyBuild and Cradle Games to develop high quality and original audio assets, as well as clean and edit existing audio for use in published games across all major game platforms such as Playstation, XBOX, Steam, Epic Games, etc..

CREATURE VOCALIZATIONS

DIALOGUE EDITING

This is a quick sizzle reel showcasing custom audio I designed over the Sperasoft Animation Reel. Showcases a variety of different audio techniques from synthesis to foley.

This video is a time-lapse of me cleaning, cutting, editing and processing vocals for use in-game. Software used includes but is not limited to Reaper, iZotope RX Suite, Waves Plugins, FL Studio, and Vocal Synth.

AUDIO PROGRAMMING - UNREAL ENGINE

This video showcases myself creating a basic audio-occlusion system from scratch in Unreal Engine using Blueprints. I used multi-line traces to detect audio sources within a given range, then cyclically ran through them to detect changes to the occlusion. Doing this allows multi-line tracing without a significant cost on performance.

This video showcases an audio-visual sync test I created in Teeth, a dinosaur fighting game that's currently being developed. Here I converted the loudness of the audio to a float value, and used that information to drive light intensity parameters. This allows for a realistic close-lightning experience. While the audio tapers off, the intensity of the light does as well.

RE-SCORES

These are two older audio re-scores I created. I wanted to try an in-game audio re-score, along with a commercial re-score. The in-game re-score showcases Star Wars Battlefront 2015's Thermal Imploder, showcasing the before and after. The commercial re-score utilizes the original audio for the Playstation sound, as well as the child's dialogue, the rest is custom audio design.
