Steve Whetman has been working in sound for about 25 years; he spent much of the early 2000s creating experimental electronic music for record labels Warp and Planet Mu. He later transitioned to sound design to pursue a love of games, cinema, and a desire to experiment and learn more about sound, music and dialogue.
After some indie titles where he cut his teeth with Unreal, his first industry job at Rebellion saw him creating all the cinematic audio for Aliens vs Predator 2010. Since then, he’s worked on some of the biggest properties in games like Gears of War, Hitman, Watch Dogs, Arkham, The Division 2, Tomb Raider, and Total War.
Steve is currently the Audio Director at PlayStation's Studio in Bend, Oregon.
