Why the AMP?


What is the AMP?


Get involved!

We always need more mentors. Are you currently working in the game audio field? Then you probably qualify. The purpose of the AMP Volunteer Council is to vet mentors and mentees and to make great matches. Concerned you may not have something to offer? Let us worry about that bit. All you need to do on your end is to apply.

How It Works


The Audio Mentoring Project has periods of open enrollment. During these periods, anyone is welcome to apply for mentoring. While enrollment is closed, just keep practicing so you’re ready when the time comes.


The Audio Mentoring Project offers three mentoring packages: Full Mentorship, Group Mentorship, and One-shot Mentorship. Each of these packages is designed to support and educate the game audio community.


The role of the AMP Volunteer Council is primarily to coordinate and shepherd the mentor and mentee through the mentorship. We match people together and make sure that things keep moving along as expected.

Mentorship Packages

Group Mentorship

This mentorship is the same as the One-shot Mentorship except it is arranged as a group call. This means that multiple mentors and/or multiple mentees will be participating.

Full Mentorship

This is a one-on-one mentorship with a minimum commitment of four hours over two months. Guidance is provided to help make for a comfortable and safe experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply?

Applying is easy! Use the menu buttons at the top of this page to apply.

How much does this cost?

It’s free. We only ask that you pass on the knowledge, generosity, and goodwill. If participation turns out to be a positive experience for you, then help us promote the project on social media.

What’s the catch?

There is no catch. All we want is to leave our industry as a better place than it was when we started. Ultimately, we all believe in a ‘rising tides’ mentality, and that by helping each other, all of our boats will rise. We all have something to gain by your participation.

Do I have to be a student?

Nope. You can be anyone as long as you’re over 18 years old. Whether you’re brand new or established, you’re welcome. If you want to challenge yourself to learn and grow and are responsible, respectful, and enthusiastic, then we’ll be happy to help you achieve that.

Do I get college credit?

We don’t currently offer college credit.

Will you listen to my demo reel?

If you’re accepted into a mentorship, this will be between you and your mentor, but generally speaking, we recommend laying a contextual groundwork before diving right into a demo reel review.

Can I ask for a specific person to be my mentor?

Not at this time. However, we put a lot of care into making matches. We may not always get it right, but we have an excellent track record so far.

How long can a mentorship last?

Could be one call, could be a lifetime. The AMP Volunteer Council will do what we can to help make your interactions positive, but our involvement will always be limited.

Can I quit after I’ve entered into a mentorship?

Yes, both the mentor and the mentee can quit the mentorship at any time for any reason. However, the expectation going into a mentorship is that both mentor and mentee are committing in good faith to whatever timeline is proposed based on the package.

I just applied, how long until I hear back?

It depends on the package, but it can take a while. Sometimes weeks, sometimes months. You can always check in with us, but we’re doing our best to keep things moving forward with your application.

How do I become a volunteer?


How much time can I ask for from my Mentor?

Our minimum commitment is defined based on the package, but we don’t involve ourselves directly in the relationship between mentor and mentee. We recommend that the mentor defines their time commitment boundaries up front.


Sure, as long as the mentor and mentee are both okay with it. Depending on that, you can share the news of the AMP through social media – we have a Facebook and a Twitter.





Always check with your mentor or mentee before meeting in person. You must respect the privacy of your mentor or mentee. However, if you’re both into it, go for it!

Can I still get a mentor if I’m not a native English speaker?


  • If your English is not very strong, but is conversationally functional, you can proceed as normal, but please let us know in your application so we can make a good match.
