We booked banjo player John Schallhorn into the studio to fingerpick the main melody that gets this spot rolling. After that, we asked voice over artist Hames Ware to do his best <a href="http://www.eviltwin.velvetsofa.com/Curtis/guide.html">Festus</a> imitation. Then, all that was left to complete this production was the serious announcer graphs, which were read with just the right amount of contrasting gravity by the lovely and talented Libby Strawn. The only thing we forgot to do was eat sushi after the session for dinner.</p> Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:13:00 -0600 urn:uuid:7f3fb920-309f-4597-b69f-5bd1be2b51cc charles http://blog.luckydogaudio.com/articles/2008/01/24/banjos-and-sushi Recent Work banjo sushi Festus Taiko
