# 8. Hiring Help

Discover ways to source audio, voice talent, and developer help to finish a solo game on a tight budget.

Making a game solo using the tips we’ve talked about is the fastest way to finish a game… but sometimes you need help, because not even you can do the voice for every character, right? In this lesson, I talk about how I scrounged up audio equipment from a friend and enlisted the help of my wife for voice work. I also talk about great places to find developer help, especially with a low budget.
