Quick tips on how to get up and running:
• First off: We’ve set up an account for A Sound Effect on Bluesky – and you’re more than welcome to follow here!
A common problem on new social media networks is that it takes time to find interesting people to follow (and for you to be found) – but there’s a really clever solution to this on Bluesky: It’s called Starter Packs and they’re effectively manually-curated lists of interesting people to follow within a certain field. They even have a handy ‘Follow All’ option to help you quickly build your network. Here are a few Starter Packs to get you… well, started:
• Interested in game audio and sound design? Aaron Brown has created an excellent Starter Pack of people to follow in game audio:
