Bio
Jair McBain
In my education experience, few lecturers stand out as much as Trevor does. From being a positive guiding influence to a friendly and informative teacher, Trevor provided me with an education standard that I'd hope all individuals in a position such as his could provide. I always felt I was able to approach Trevor for advice regarding specific class related work and advice for creative projects outside of the curriculum. I'd recommend Trevor as a lecturer or for any form of creative guidance in relation to Video Games, especially in areas relative to player experience, visual and sound design.

Trevor came on to my web audio adventure AUTHENTIC IN ALL CAPS to do the sound design for a prototype. He did such a great job I hired him to work on the final app. It is an unusual project, that demands the strong sound design of an audio drama, along with nifty audio cues that team with visuals, and original compositions. Trevor was always willing to keep developing the sound design right. He did the recording of the actors with me as well, and was great at preparation and organising the logistics of recording procedure, equipment, and file system. Always personable and keen to do more, Trevor was a delight to work with and jumped into making a real aural world.

Soundplay Interactive is to establish a company that puts value and passion into the design and development of video games creating a fun, social and emotional reaction from the player. I also want to help other developers who currently don’t have access to suitable audio solutions, by providing services, scaled in size and costs that allow them to have the best possible audio solutions for their projects.
