In the game audio field, it's all too common to see composers pretending to be sound designers, and sound designers pretending to be composers.

Why? Well, it's all under the guise of trying to get more gigs. But, alas, that sort of thinking is actually getting people less and less work. More often than not, clients want to hire game audio designers who are focused on just one thing.

And if you're trying to get a job at a AAA company, they *especially* don't want to hire someone who does everything.

As soon as you focus on just one thing, you'll see the work start to come in.
