Another feature film in the BAM books! 🔊🎬 We are immensely proud to share that the film we've worked on all summer, Ana the Cleaner—directed by our long-time friend and collaborator Guy Bauer—is making its official world premiere tomorrow…

A voice and a face you never forget! BAM was thrilled to welcome veteran character actor Richard Kind to Studio A for a voice recording session for Family Guy!…
BAM Studios is my agency’s go-to for anything audio. We take all of our most important projects to BAM for sound design and mixing. They’re very friendly and always reliable when it comes to commercial timelines (which are usually always a rush). Awesome people and free M&M’s — what else could you want??
The engineer was able to work some serious magic on this project. Blown away. We are all so very happy and appreciative. Thank you for taking it on and making it work.
The difference with working with the BAM team vs. some of the studios in-town is night and day, so thanks for all that you do.
Content and security approved. Disney covers Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm.
Notes on the craft, from the people behind the board.
A campaign can spend months in development and arrive at audio post with only hours to spare. What separates a true studio partner from a room full of gear — and why judgment matters more than equipment.

Dave Leffel · 4 min readFinding the right voice is more than finding someone who can read a script. How BAM casts locally and nationally, and why auditions are leveled before a client ever hears them.
Brian Reed · 3 min readFrom straightforward narration to full sound-designed productions with casts and music — what separates the tiers, and when the high end actually makes sense.
We recorded Joan Cusack as Jessie for Toy Story 5, in theaters now. Book the room that recorded her.
