It’s not uncommon to hear him help voice actors with various vocalizations by demonstrating the sounds himself. He understands the potential and limitations of every vocal effect.
Sebastien’s dedication and expertise in creature and monster voice design have gained international recognition. He has been invited to speak about his work at numerous international events and video game conferences. Over the past four years, he has delivered over 20 talks in 9 different countries, receiving praise for his detailed and engaging presentations.
His contagious enthusiasm and passion for monster and creature sounds, combined with his extensive experience, have convinced many companies and audio professionals to collaborate with him.
