Henry
Willard

"I have worked with Henry on three very different jobs. The first time being an ADR project which was extremely complicated as he was working with VO’s and directors in both the UK and USA. Henry was sending the video feed through to us whilst also recording down the line and editing and syncing voice to mouth on the video!

I was then offered a Direct Response TV project of three adverts that the client wanted to direct down the line with me voicing and editing myself. For cost reasons they felt sending me to a studio would not be affordable on their budget. That’s when I suggested Henry. Henry was the calm voice who was running the recording (from his studio), feeding through the video with my voice (from my studio) where the client wanted it added (client in two different sites in London), fiddling everything around to make an 8 second sentence fit into a 5 second section of video all whilst the client directed and asked for changes. The client was amazed and delighted with the results Henry could achieve.

For me it was great to just concentrate on my VO delivery. My most recent encounter was three simple internal explainer videos that I needed to get back to my client as soon as possible. Cleaning up audio is not my favourite job so a simple email request and Henry had the audio back to me by the end of that day. The time that Henry saved me on technical matters gave me time to respond to three sample requests and quotes - one of which turned into another job. No matter the size or complexity of a job Henry saves you time, money and your sanity!!"

"We worked with Henry in 2022. He facilitated a 1-2-1 session as well as a group webinar. The 1-2-1 session was fantastic. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Voicing to picture and trying to make your delivery match the video is a difficult skill to master. Henry offered excellent advice and clear direction. He is not only endlessly patient, but a fun to work with.

The group webinar was a big challenge and Henry did detailed research and advised us on the best way to proceed. During the session he balanced managing the complicated aspects of all the technological aspects with directing and editing smoothly and still with a smile. There was a lot of pressure on Henry during the webinar to ensure all the tech ran smoothly as well as directing and editing and he handled it with the upmost professionalism.

If you're considering working with Henry, I would highly recommend him as a director and audio engineer."
