Amuse Animation is looking for talented sound designers for our animated series. The job will consist in editing the sounds, characters’ voices, voice-over and music to the episodes we produce.

Most episodes have a duration of 5 minutes, and we already have an important soundbank available for sound designers. However, we highly encourage them to implement their own style.
