all secrets... REVEALED !!!
On September 5th, 2026, Sabrina Fedele, Alec Viera, Ryan Steinbach and Akash Thakkar were gathered together by Trevor Whitaker Black to present.. Game Sound Adventure League!
They were tasked with taking an hour to record sound effects at (the exceptionally loud) Pike Place Market before being given just ONE MORE HOUR to redesign a video game cutscene - using at least 3 of those sounds. They presented their findings.
What they didn't know was - Kyle Martin Cora, Kobe Anthony, ZW Buckley, and myself were SECRET PANELISTS!!! Halfway through their panel, we rose from the audience and joined them up on stage !
We were given just ONE. HOUR. to add music to their scenes. They had no idea.
I told Akash I would be at the panel. He assured me, multiple times, "Oh no, Star, don't worry about it, you don't have to come." I said to Sabrina earlier that day, "Oh, you're on that panel later tonight, aren't you?" She was none the wiser!!!!
My sources tell me there could be a recording of the hilarity that ensued! Stay tuned!!!
ps.: rumor has it a panelist made their entire score out of another panelist's fart sounds.
maybe that's why akash is making that face
who knows
