Vaudeville Sound Group has expanded its presence in the Los Angeles area with a studio in Culver City.
The new studio from the London-based audio design, production, and post-production group will offer film, TV and digital clients with the capability to do immersive audio mixes for episodic, commercial work, podcasts, video games, augmented reality and virtual reality projects.
Vaudeville has maintained a studio in Burbank for several years, which caters primarily to its film and TV clients, including Netflix Inc. and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., among others.
The 3,000-square-foot Culver City studio incorporates four rooms: a master control mixing and mastering space with full Dolby Atmos capabilities; a sweetening room; and two insert studios for automated dialogue replacement, voiceover and podcasting work.
Annabelle Dunbar-Whittaker is the executive producer for Vaudeville Culver City.
Mirko Vogel, managing partner and head of immersive development at Vaudeville Sound Canada, in Vancouver, said that the company has witnessed an explosion of talent coming to Culver City in the past five years, and this has occurred as major industry players – including Apple TV and Amazon Studios – have opened facilities within a short distance of the new studio.
“When we launched our immersive audio division last year, we knew that Culver City would be a major part of our overall expansion, and this build-out has only increased our appetite for work in this amazing town,” Vogel said in a statement.
The company has pioneered the use of enhanced ambisonics and native 3D audio for TV and film and has broadened its capabilities for the creation, capture and design of natural and hyper-realistic 3D sounds and for creating synthetic audio.
