Mars Mission from LEGO Denmark

We're not actually going to Mars, but we did some out of this world (haha, get it??) work for LEGO recently. LEGO recorded a series of commercials promoting the news “Mars Mission” play sets through Tapeworks. A three way patch between the US, Denmark and the voice talent allowed for an international collaboration on the project.

Roll out the red carpet...

Tapeworks has been a hub of Hollywood activity! Two Automatic Dialogue Replacement sessions took place for diverse clients around the country and the continent. Post Modern Sound, a production company in British Columbia, booked Chad Allen for ADR on Ice Blues and On The Other Hand, Death. Chad is a well-known film and stage actor, having starred in numerous television series and movies since childhood. Another ADR session was for Doppler Studios in Atlanta, adding dialogue to the popular TBS show Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.

Richard Thomas drives Mercedes into Tapeworks

Richard Thomas, renowned TV and stage actor visited Hartford Tapeworks recording studios Tuesday to record voiceover tracks for Mercedes-Benz latest radio and TV spots. The session was recorded using ISDN technology, which allowed Thomas to voice the spots in Hartford while being recorded by a production team in NYC. An in-studio monitor screen provided a video reference for the TV spots, giving Thomas the feel and attitude needed for his delivery.

Television and movie actors are often chosen to voice commercials even though their voices aren't always recognized by the average viewer when their face isn't shown on-screen.Mercedes-Benz chose Thomas as the voice of their new campaign, much of which promotes the Certified Pre-Owned sector of their dealerships. Thomas's warm and soothing voice credibly amplifies Mercedes pride in their cars and engineering skills while affirmatively answering the old chestnut; Would you buy a used car from this man?

Thomas is in Hartford this week performing 12 Angry Men at the Bushnell. The show went on tour in February, and opened Tuesday night in Hartford and will run through Sunnday March 30th.Tapeworks is celebrating it 33rd year as a Hartford mainstay. The studio is regularly the temporary home of TV and movie celebrities when their voices are needed elsewhere.
