Grooters Productions today announced the conclusion of a collaboration with Fox Television’s hit show “The Simpsons.” The Holland-based media production company assisted in recording the voice of Lisa Simpson, played by Yeardley Smith. Using ISDN technology, Grooters was able to work remotely with the show’s producers in Hollywood to record eight episodes including a Thanksgiving special and several episodes slated for the spring season.
While Smith was in town as executive producer on the recently filmed feature “What’s Wrong With Virginia,” she sought out Grooters Productions as a local solution for fulfilling her commitment to Fox. The company was well-equipped to assist with both recording and facilitating a real-time audio link with the director and producers in Hollywood.
“It’s really been a pleasure to see our people working alongside industry-leading talent,” commented John Grooters, president and CEO of Grooters Productions. The company’s re-recording mixer Paul Wesselink engineered the sessions. “Yeardley was a joy to work with, and I think she was genuinely impressed to find such capabilities here in West Michigan,” he commented.
In addition to recording for “The Simpsons,” Grooters Productions also recorded actor Ed Harris, playing a lead roll in “What’s Wrong With Virginia,” for a series of national television and radio ads for Home Depot.
