Voice Recording for
Spots, Brand Pieces, TV, Games & Podcasts
“That’s a dynamite combination of gear! With the pandemic, I’ve recorded VOs in a lot of nice studios across the country; your’s are definitely a cut above.”
Great VO starts with a great voice. We built and equipped our place to support that -- large control room and a spacious well-tuned VO booth that can easily fit 2-4 actors. Top-shelf Mics (hand-made in Germany), Custom Mic Pre's, Great headphone feed, and the best script stand in town! makes our place one of the premier VO facilities in Minneapolis. But most importantly, our vast experience helps elicit a great read and make it sound amazing!
Not only do we engineer great VO’s, since 2000 we have been producing many Voice-over Demos for all kinds of commercial and narrative talent and we conduct substantive Voice-over Workshops along with a Twin Cities VO Veteran. Many new and not-so-new and even veteran talent have come to our workshops and gained a deeper understanding of the art form. We’ve even brought in some top talent from LA to coach and conduct Q&A sessions. So we REALLY know Voice-Over!
So, use us as just button monkeys (audio engineers) — we’ll work in the background to make sure the VO sound and the takes are technically excellent and let you direct the session — or lean our producing experience to help revise the script and coach the talent to achieve the best possible VO for your job. Whichever. Or somewhere in between. Just use us, you'll be happy you did!

“Typically I wouldn't write this kind of email, but as a voice talent, I was stunned to hear such bold clarity and beautiful eq on the narration…now that I've finally heard someone do it, I know it's exactly the type of clean polish I would like to send out.”
-Kevin Genus, Voice Over Talent
