Can't wait to see your studio there!

Just wanted to let you know future plans for ComposerScout is to also include

2D/3D Designers
Programmers
Storyboard Artists
Visual Artists

and much more!

Everyone will have a space there, and everyones work will be protected. I plan on making it a huge hub for collaboration.

A full song in an hour or two is wild. I made a free site where game devs browse composers and hear their stuff, would be cool to have your Newgrounds tracks on there: https://composerscout.com

Deep villains to cartoon voices is a fun range! I made a free site where game devs find voice actors, composers and sound designers. First 20 voice actors get a founding badge: https://composerscout.com

Love that you call out no AI in your music. I made a free site where game devs browse composers and sound designers and hear their work, would be cool to have your horror and 80s stuff on there: https://composerscout.com

Hey all! I'm an indie dev making a game called No Soliciting, and I built ComposerScout, a free place where indie devs find composers, sound designers and voice actors.

If you need audio for your game: you can browse creators and message them directly. Just looking? You don't need to make a page for that. If you do add your game and a short gameplay clip, creators can try their work right on your footage, so you hear it in your game before you pick anyone.

If you make music, SFX or voice work for games: make a free profile so devs can find you and hear your stuff. The first 20 composers, sound designers and voice actors each get a founding badge.

It's totally free and I don't take anything from your gigs.

Would love to hear what would make it more useful!

If you’re looking for sound folks, I made a free site where game composers and sound designers have profiles you can browse and message. Just looking? You don’t need to make a page: https://composerscout.com

Good luck putting the team together! For the music and sound side, I made a free site where you can browse composers and sound designers and hear their stuff: https://composerscout.com

A 1987 logging-valley horror with a mimic creature is such a creepy setup. If you want more sound designers, composers or voice actors to look through, I made a free site where you can browse them and hear their work: https://composerscout.com

Talking animals and stoic heroines is a fun range! I made a free site where game devs browse voice actors, composers and sound designers. Would be cool to have your demos on there, first 20 voice actors get a founding badge: https://composerscout.com

Nice to see you’ve done a bunch of jams! I made a free site where game devs browse composers and sound designers and hear their work, would be cool to have your SoundCloud stuff on there too: https://composerscout.com

Dark atmospheric horror music is exactly what jam devs are after this month. I made a free site where game devs browse composers and reach out directly, would be cool to have your stuff on there.  https://composerscout.com

Building tension through sound is such a good pitch for a horror jam. I made a free site where game devs browse sound designers and composers and message them directly.  https://composerscout.com

Wwise and MetaSounds is a combo a lot of devs look for! If you want devs to find you outside the jam too, I made a free site for game composers, sound designers and voice actors.  https://composerscout.com

Your film sound editing background is a cool combo for horror. If you want somewhere for devs to find you after the jam too, I made a free site where game devs browse composers, sound designers and voice actors. First 20 sound designers get a founding badge: https://composerscout.com

Love that sound is part of the gameplay here! If you don’t find your sound designer in this thread, I made a free site where you can browse sound designers and hear their stuff: https://composerscout.com

Hey! Solo dev here. Getting creators to play my demo was the part of marketing I hated, so I built PlayScout. You paste your Steam link and it lists YouTubers and streamers who recently played similar games, with their public contact info. Smaller channels that actually reply show up first.

The top 10 of any search is free, so you can try it on your own game.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. Do the creators it finds actually fit your game?

2. Is anything confusing on the search or results page?

3. What's missing that would make you use it before a launch or Next Fest?

Thanks, and happy to give feedback on your game in return!

Thank you! Totally fair concern, and I'd rather be straight with you.

There's no download button anywhere on ComposerScout. Samples play through the site's own player, so there's no "save audio as" option, and your files are stored privately until you publish. You can unpublish or delete them anytime and they stop playing right away.

Anything that plays in a browser can be recorded by someone determined, same as YouTube, SoundCloud or Casting Call Club. So I'd suggest short demo cuts rather than full reads, and you can always keep your best full takes for when a dev messages you.

If there's something that would make you feel safer, like an audio watermark option, tell me and I'll look at building it.

Hey! I just launched ComposerScout, a free place where indie devs find composers, sound designers and voice actors.

You make a profile with your own link and a few samples. Devs drop in a gameplay clip and hear your music or SFX play over it, then message you directly. Matching is by scene and mood, not follower count, so newer folks get heard too. Voice actors can add voice acting to their profile as well.

No fees, no cut. The first 20 composers and the first 20 sound designers each get a founding badge on their profile.

I'd love feedback on what would make it worth your time.
