What to expect

Mostly I talk, or will plan to talk the majority of the time, unless you say otherwise. I will ask questions to the audience, show some slides to explain abstract concepts, and challenge the audience to share their thoughts on points.
The more informal the setting, the better, so that one-on-one conversations can develop, but larger groups with attentive listeners work fine.

About

Video game software localization producer, translator, translation manager.
Lived and worked in Japan, Australia, U.S.
I've worked on a few high-profile famous products, and some decidedly not.
Chances are you or someone you know has played a video game that I was involved with making a foreign language version for.
People seem curious to hear and ask about stories in this business. Video games are a medium that can both impress and disappoint, and I can speak to that within the framework of seeking to respect other cultures by giving them games in their own native languages.

Additional booking notes

I don't have a PA system. If audience is more than a living room size of gathering, I can bring a clip-on mic and single speaker for additional cost.

Setup requirements

PA system for large audience spaces
