Twelve-hour epics, single-take spots and a three-year documentary — meet the voices behind our 2026 studio awards.
Every winter our engineers mix down hundreds of hours of narration, dubbing and commercial reads. A handful of sessions stand apart — the ones where artist, director and script lock into the same current. This week we congratulate the narrators behind those sessions: our 2026 studio award winners.
Best Long-Form Narration goes to a debut novelist-turned-narrator whose twelve-hour fantasy epic never once lost its thread. Best Commercial Read goes to a thirty-second harbor-radio spot recorded in a single take. And our Director's Choice award honors a documentary series on coastal fisheries three years in the making.
What ties the winners together is process: thorough script prep, honest direction and the patience to chase one more take when take nine was already good. Congratulations to every winner — your plaques are on the studio wall, and your sessions are the standard we mix to.
