Yes, there are quite a few kinds of sound people. Games need audio samples recorded and edited. They need music composed. They need people to work with voice actors, get it recorded, sweeten it, and get it ready for the game.

But the jobs are not frequently available.

A studio may have only one or two of them supporting multiple projects, maybe at a 1:50 or even 1:100 ratio with other game development roles. There is relatively little turnover, combine it with the slow rate of expansion and finding a job may be difficult.


Keep networking, find contacts in the industry and ask around. Contact the studios directly, and consider non-traditional job-hunting routes. You are unlikely to see the job on a Help Wanted board. It may take a while to find a company to hire you, but the work is certainly out there.
