Hollywood calls!
August 2008
As a sequel to the movie "Da Vinci Code" a new production with the name "Angels and Demons" and based on Dan Brown's book "Illuminati" will come to cinemas worldwide in May 2009 - starring Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon and many other well known actors such as Ayelet Zurer or Ewan McGregor. Since director Ron Howard wants parts of the dialogues between the Pope's Swiss Guards to be in original Swiss German, I was contacted and asked whether I could take care of the Swiss German dialogue coaching. That's what I call a rethorical question ;-)
Beside translating the dialogues into pure Swiss German I was recording the lead tracks for the actors. They now have to learn their lines by heart, so that afterwards, on the dubbing stage, everything will be lipsynch - and Swiss German, of course :-)
Is this Hollywood-A job going to lead to my first credit on the big screen? I don't know yet, but it has been a great honour for me to have a chance being part of such a great production.
Heli-Skiing: A New Computer Game
July 2008
Have you ever dreamed of heli-skiing in the most famous winter sport regions of the world? Yes, I know, a rather expensive hobby, but now there is an alternative: a brandnew computer game. Since this game also offers heli-skiing in the Swiss Alps, I was asked to voice the Swiss helicopter pilot "Wilhelm" - in English, but of course with a strong Swiss accent ;-) Have a listen:
The game is going to be published in fall 2008 by Destineer. Have fun and be careful on the slopes...
Swiss National Circus Knie
May 2008
I love circus! Whenever a circus comes to our town, I simply have to run and buy a ticket! I'm especially happy that this year I was asked once again to voice all radio commercials for the Swiss National Circus Knie tour 2008 - 40 commercials in total!
Thank you, Circus Knie, and lot's of success for your 2008 tour!
