      Steven and the team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Amy and I genuinely could not be happier with the support, care and professionalism they showed throughout the process. They went above and beyond for us at every stage, always making us feel reassured and supported.We are hugely grateful for everything they did and cannot thank them enough. I would wholeheartedly recommend Steven and the team to anyone looking for first-class service and support.

      Audio Production Review from Larry Charles, Jr.

      Although GLH is the latest project I've worked on with 2002 Studios, I'm a long standing repeat business account for them accross multiple projects and I will continue to work with them down the line. The team is available in roughly any timezone (I've come to find out), quite responsive and knowledgeable. I've been helped through small fixes or big deliveries with confidence and ease.Due to the nature of of entertainment, there have been times where feedback improvements needed to be identified and fixed, and without any fuss or extra cost (reasonably) we got the support we needed and timely without any change in attitude towards us, true professionals and customer concious business practices.Audio Services, website design, sound composition and original score, and even marketing support. All stellar and all from one source. I am happy to reccomend them, and actively refer them to new clients when I can.

      Audio Production Review from Joe Seward

      The quality of work from 2002 Studios Media has been consistently strong. Their team delivers clear, accurate localization and polished content that stays true to the original intent. They show a solid grasp of both language and context, which is essential for this type of work.Projects are delivered on time, even when timelines are tight. The team communicates early if anything could affect delivery, which helps avoid surprises and keeps everything moving smoothly.They are easy to reach and quick to respond. Questions are handled clearly, and feedback is addressed without delay. This makes collaboration simple and efficient across all stages of a project.Pricing is fair for the level of quality and service provided. There is a good balance between cost and value, especially for projects that require careful localization and attention to detail.Overall, I am very satisfied with the experience. 2002 Studios Media is a reliable partner for localization and content production, and I would work with them again.

How long does the audio production process usually take?

The timeline for an audio production project varies depending on the type of content, the complexity of the sound design, and the number of collaborators involved.  

Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months. 

Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing. 

Audio post-production for a 30-minute film, for example, can require 150-300 hours of work depending on audio quality and complexity.

What should I look for in an audio production agency portfolio?

Key factors decision-makers should evaluate when reviewing an audio production agency portfolio include:

  • A diverse range of projects 
    Strong audio production agencies typically showcase 10 to 30 portfolio projects covering a wide range of work, such as commercials, podcasts, music production, video production, and sound design.
  • High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each)
    Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
  • Evidence of experience across multiple industries 
    The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.
  • Collaboration with recognized brands, artists, or musicians
    Many companies highlight notable clients or collaborations, such as brands, advertising agencies, or well-known artists. Even a portfolio that includes 5-10 recognizable clients or campaigns can demonstrate credibility and industry trust.
  • Proof of measurable impact or performance results
    Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
  • Recent work from the past 2-3 years
    Because audio technology and digital media evolve quickly, a strong portfolio should highlight recent projects completed within the last 24-36 months.
