So... a cartoon superhero, a linebacker and a sociology prof walk into a bar...

It's been awhile since we wrote, but rest assured - with some big projects for LEGO, NFL Films, NPR and a handful of very cool music projects and accolades - we've been keeping busy!


Last week, Chief Engineer Bill Ahearn recorded the infamous voice of "Space Ghost", Mr. George Lowe, for a project with LEGO.  George reminded us all - not that we needed it - why he's one of the best in the biz.  Along with nailing his voiceover part in only a couple of takes, he had both Tapeworks staff and the Lego crew alike in stitches with some poignant ad libs and observations that only Space Ghost himself could come up with.  You gotta love it when everybody's smiling after a session.  Keep your ears peeled for George's distinct baritone in the near future!

Keeping in theme with cool VO projects, we've also recorded several film voiceovers with actor Chris Lemmon for a series of NFL Films productions over the last couple of weeks.  Chris' voice was beamed out from our studio via ISDN, and will be appearing on documentary projects about Tom Brady, Greg Jennings and Ray Rice, amongst others.


We were also pleased to host Dr. Bradley Wright, associate Professor of Sociology at UConn, for his appearance on NPR yesterday afternoon.  Dr. Wright teleconferenced via ISDN with Jean Feraca, host of the radio show "Here on Earth", which is based in Madison, Wisconsin.  The topic of the day was Dr. Wright's new book, "Upside: Surprising Good News About the State of Our World" - as you might expect, it was a great way to end our Monday on a positive note!

All this and we've only covered our recent voiceover work - in the next entry (to be posted later this week), we'll talk about our recent music work.
