Three words to describe DTG
Talented, Hard Working, Kind
Hey! I'm Matthew
I used to be a professional Actor and Musician before COVID hit, during which time I toured the country and internationally on many productions, and I have some fantastic memories of working on great Plays and Musicals, with many brilliant people.
During lockdown, I taught myself how to use various game engines and, luckily, I had been using DAWs and Audio Editing software for many years which made the transition into Audio Design a fairly natural one! I put together a showreel of what I’d learned so far and then, after a while, got a call from Fiona here at Dovetail asking if I would like to interview for an opening they had - and the rest as they say is history!
What I like most about working at Dovetail is twofold: the people here are amazing (and I consider myself lucky to work with colleagues who are now friends), and the other thing I love is being able to work on Video Games which have always been a huge passion of mine. Having a direct impact on how these games turn out is an incredibly rewarding experience, and I would urge anyone who is thinking they would like a career in video games to find out more and, if you can, do it!
My other hobbies include playing keys/singing in the band Peyton Place, and a copious amount of DIY, as my wife and I are busy renovating our old Victorian home!
