The featured image for this post is how our favorite online collage generator imagines one of the couples featured in the Capitol Federal Fall Lending Radio campaign we produced this week. Not bad work there, Net.Art Generator. Maybe you robots are OK after all. More importantly, hats off to the humans that put this together.[…]
Interesting video and article about text-to-speech technology. Should voice talent really be nervous about this? Yes, the companies are getting better at making synthesized speech sound more human but there ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby. And, maybe it’s just me, but in the video, Allison Duffy sounds robotic to my ears. Even though[…]
Here’s our submission for the WBEZ sonic logo contest. Wish us luck! I saw the announcement for the contest on Tumblr last Friday so over the weekend I did a little field recording. The melody was played via my trusty Qchord. And the VO is Scott. About Charles WyrickMail | More Posts(367)
I walked in the front door today to be surprised by new art on our walls! Kaboom. These amazing painting are on loan from Jan Bennet-Troutt and bring a refreshing jolt of color and texture to our downstairs walls. But wait. There’s more. These are not only paintings. These are also sound panels. That’s right.[…]
So, we are a little late mentioning something here at the Lucky Dog blog. In case you didn’t know, our audio shop of two is now a shop of three. Meet Jacob! We were lucky enough to meet Jacob last summer and he’s been working part-time here ever since. We couldn’t be more pleased to[…]
Just to clear things up. Say you are in bed with your wife watching TV. And you see this new Las Vegas ad. And you’re like, “Hold up… rewind… I know that announcer!” And your wife is like, “No… you don’t.” So you rewind it and watch it again… and again… and again like, maybe,[…]
Love the way this brand video for Ft Campbell Credit Union turned out! Casting, music licensing, sound design, and final mix was all done here at the Dog. And the voice talent is one of our favorite Chicago bluesman, Big Llou Johnson. About Charles WyrickMail | More Posts(367)
Check out these two new :60 spots for Luba Worker’s Comp. we produced last month. These spots feature loads of under-the-big-top sound design and several fun, situational cameos by colorful circus characters. Interestingly enough, one of the toughest elements to create in this production was the sound of the “Wheel of a Thousand Knives.” We ended[…]
So… we experienced some extreme winter weather during the holiday break. Thankfully we never lost power here at the studio and were thus able to help our friends at Entergy produce some Public Service Announcements addressing power outages in the area. Here’s a pic of Oscar Washington, the Director of Customer Service for Entergy Arkansas,[…]

Since 2009, we’ve been helping Sport Clips with their “Help a Hero” radio and tv fundraising campaign. This program helps soldiers connect with their families via “free call days to deployed and hospitalized American service members.” As reported by the VFW, this year’s goal is to raise $500,000 and we hope our media has helped[…]
Being a dog friendly business, we hold an organization like the Humane Society near and dear to our hearts. In the past we’ve donated audio work for the Pulaski County Humane Society. Today, we donated our lobby. This was another situation where our couches proved to be more important than us. But that’s fine. Anything[…]
So. Ahem. Yesterday was National Poetry Day. Yeah. Bet you forgot too. So, here’s a poem called At Roane Head that I’ve read and re-read and re-re-read. And every time it gives me the shivers. If helps if you know a little bit about Selkies. (Full disclosure, I knew NOTHING about Selkies until I read[…]
Good stuff from Doug – this is the Monsters Calling Home video they shot, recorded, and performed inside their Hondas. Wowzers. I feel sorry for their drummer. This reminds me of the time we booked a revision with a voice talent who was on vacation. He had to drive to a hot spot he found[…]
Our buddy Jeff directed us to this bit of SNL goodness from last weekend. Good stuff. About Charles WyrickMail | More Posts(367)
Here it is, at long last, a new post featuring some new radio spots! We had a lot of fun producing these spots this summer. Why? Well, first check out “Obsession.” It features six characters. That’s right, six characters in one spot! There’s “Ice Cream Girl,” then there’s “Checker” (as in a Grocery Store Checker),[…]
