Encomassing new company logo and website, new staff and the upgrade of all of its sound studios to Pro Tools 9, London audio postproduction facility The Voice and Music Company is to be re-branded.

Now operating under the new name of Soho Square Studios, the 21-year-old independently owned facility is looking to grow its film, TV and commercials business on the back of two new members of staff. The first is sound engineer Simon Capes, who brings 30 years’ experience gained from time at both the Tape Gallery and Silk Sound. During his career, Capes has won more than 50 awards from the BTA, BTCA, D&AD, London International Advertising, Aerial Radio and more.

The second recruit is dubbing mixer and sound designer James Doyle, who comes from Pinewood Studios. His credits include numerous TV shows and the feature films 127 Hours (Danny Boyle) and Looking for Eric (Ken Loach).

‘With our current growth and reputation for audio post-production excellence, it feels like the right time to show off our fantastic studios and amazing location on the Square,’ says company co-founder, MD and composer, Alan Coates. ‘Giving the company a new name really helps us to do that.’

Fellow co-founder Kim Goody adds: ‘The wealth of talent and experience that both Simon and James bring us will seriously bolster our established commercials business and our ever-expanding TV and film services.’
