With 21 days of lockdown to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 now in place, we would like to reassure you that we are fully operational from our home studio.
We have implemented bi-directional audio and video workflows to make it easy for you to carry on working remotely with us during the lockdown. There is no additional cost to you for this service.
We have put together a comprehensive list of voice artists who have home studios, so there is no barrier to keeping the production process flowing during this time. We’ll pipe the artist through over the internet to our home studio and we can all monitor, comment and direct them as per usual.
Remote music composition, sound design and mixing is also no problem at all.
We look forward to hearing from you. Contact us via email or mobile with any queries or concerns, and we’ll be more than happy to assist you.

The South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTAs) this weekend, the debut Showmax Original, Tali’s Wedding Diary, won five awards – the most of any TV comedy.
This made Showmax the most awarded broadcaster in the TV comedy category and marked the first time a streaming service had won at the SAFTAs. “When we were making Tali’s Wedding Diary, we joked about winning a SAFTA – it seemed totally crazy given it was our first fully-fledged Showmax Original and all of us were learning as we went,” says Candice Fangueiro, head of content for MultiChoice Connected Video. “Fast-forward and we’re on stage not just winning one SAFTA award but taking home five. I’m still pinching myself.”
