Tommy Tallarico (born February 18, 1968) is a video game composer and musician who has allegedly worked on over 68 games, winning over 25 awards for best video game audio. He also co-created the ''Video Games Live'' concert and co-hosted ''Reviews on the Run'' which was known as ''Series/JudgementDay'' in America. He founded Tallarico Studios in 1994 and the Game Audio Network Guild, of which he is also president, in 2002. In May 2018, he was [[https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/fb1de7_1ce49fdf0b91480bb020bdd886878b12.pdf named]] CEO/President of Platform/{{Intellivision}} Entertainment after buying an ownership stake in the company in an estate sale.

He claims to be a cousin of Music/{{Aerosmith}} frontman Steven Tyler, whose legal name is Steven Tallarico.

The {{memetic|mutation}} "Oof" ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' death sound was originally created by Tallarico's company for the video game ''VideoGame/{{Messiah}}''. He is credited as a sound designer on ''Messiah'' along with Tallarico Studios' lead sound designer, Joey Kuras, whose name was listed in the metadata of the original audio file. Tallarico, who holds the copyright to all sound effects made at his company, got into a dispute with ''Roblox'' over their unlicensed use of the sound. Eventually, ''Roblox'' and Tallarico settled the dispute with the sound planned to be replaced by another death sound and later resold in the Library for the equivalent of $1.
