THE PERSON BEHIND THE SOUND
03 / NICE TO MEET YOUHi.
Hi.
I'm Andrew.
I'm the owner of Bigmouth Studios, a Johannesburg audio post-production and voice recording business. I've worked in media and audio since 2004.
Sometimes the job is a deceptively simple voice recording. Sometimes it's getting dialogue to behave, building an atmosphere or bringing a complicated mix together. Either way, the details matter.
I'm also a working voice artist, so I know the recording process from both sides of the glass.
MEET THE VOICE ARTIST ↗04 / HOW WE THINKCareful Work.
Careful Work.
No Drama.
From the script to the final deliverables, we keep the process direct and collaborative.
01 / LISTEN
Understand The Brief.
Good sound starts with knowing what the picture, script or performance actually needs.
02 / CREATE
Get The Details Right.
We work with the recording, editing, sound design and mixing choices that make a difference.
03 / DELIVER
Finish Properly.
Technical specifications and delivery requirements are discussed before the final handover.
05 / THE STUDIOGreat Audio
Great Audio
Starts Here.
Bigmouth Studios is built around recording voices and getting audio ready for real productions, from commercials and corporate videos to podcasts and factual work.
Directed sessions, editing and post-production can be discussed together so the handovers are straightforward.

Good Questions.
Clear Answers.
Got a brief that doesn't fit neatly into a category? Ask anyway.
Can I Book A Voice Artist And Studio Together?
Yes. Tell us what you need and we can discuss the voice, recording session and post-production requirements in one brief.
Can A Client Direct The Session Remotely?
Remote participation can be arranged. Confirm the connection method and delivery needs when booking.
Do You Only Work With Recordings Made At Bigmouth?
No. We also edit and mix audio supplied by production companies and other studios.
Can You Provide A Quote Before I Book?
Yes. Send us the brief, intended use, deadline and any technical requirements for an individual quotation.
Do You Record Bands Or Produce Original Music?
No. Bigmouth primarily focuses on professional audio post-production and voice recording, rather than music studio sessions. We don't produce or record musicians or create music tracks.
