Back-To-Back Voice Arts Awards
We know it’s a rare privilege to be part of team like Heirloom. Great people, great stories, and a rare melding of talent that creates great art as well. For the second year in a row, our industry peers have recognized our hard work and honored us with multiple Voice Arts awards.
Known as the Oscars of the voiceover world, the Voice Arts awards are about as big as it gets in our industry. When names like Disney and Pixar are on the same stage, we know we’re doing something right.
Rojo Studios was honored with the Best Audio Engineering prize for the second year in a row, this year for The Dragon and the Raven.
It’s an exciting story with political intrigue, romance and epic battles at sea.
Thanks for listening to our stories. I hope we can enjoy many more together.

“In Freedom’s Cause” Audio Drama Update
The voice track editing is done, and the sound design has begun in earnest. Swords, horses, fireplaces, large wooden doors and…barns have been our focus over the past few weeks.
One scene takes place in an abandoned barn. Finding an area with NO TRAFFIC is the challenge! And for the past few weeks, we’ve been searching for just such a place. We found limited success today.
This barn was abandoned a few years ago, and the pigeons and owls have moved in. We set up all of our gear and began recording, but our presence scared all of the birds away! So we essentially recorded an hour of a silent, empty room. We’ll go back this weekend to try another approach.
