VOICEOVERSOHO Launch New Agency
Following a successful year, VOICEOVERSOHO have now expanded to include an in-house agency. The launch of the new agency came as a natural progression for company director Peter Morris. "As the number of great freelance voice-over artists coming through the studio just grew and grew and we organically started putting forward some of this amazing talent for projects and before we knew it we were running a voice-over agency".
Talent is now available to preview here and via the 'Agency' tab on the toolbar.
Sir Stirling Moss
It is not everyday that you can say that you have a bona fide legend in the studio but at VOICEOVERSOHO over the last few weeks it truly has been the case. Arguably the greatest all-round racing driver of all time and a true icon of the motor racing world. Out of the 529 competitive races he entered during his professtional racing career, he won an astonishing 212 until a near-fatal accident at Goodwood in 1962 ended it all. We've been working on a new series of 52 minute films, GREAT GRAND PRIX RACING HEROES currently being produced by Brunswick Films. This new series traces the careers of 12 of Formula one's heroes,
including World Champions, Sir Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, James Hunt, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andretti, Mika Hakkinen, as well as the legendary Enzo Ferrari. The stories of these great men are all narrated by Mr Motor Racing himself, Stirling. We were on the last leg of the recordings with only one left to be narrated so imagine our shock to hear the news of Stirling's accident, but no surprise at all to hear that he is his normal perky self despite all the injuries in his latest shunt.
Wishing you a speedy recovery Stirling!
