Remember the value of custom content. There are so many ways of finding sound for your projects these days – but in my mind (and I might be slightly biased), there’s nothing better than using custom-created sound.

Often, artists can feel like they’ve hit a plateau. Those are great times to scrap the way you do things, and learn other ways.

In general try and receive criticisms well. It will often seem wrong or unnecessary at the time, and while sometimes that is the case, most of the time the feedback will lead you to a product both you and the client are happier with.
