The Devant team has had a fantastic time listening to the entries to our competition to find the Voice of The Butler’s Tale for our upcoming iPhone App. We were overwhelmed with the variety and quality of the recordings submitted, and particularly with the talent of some of our own long-standing clients!

After struggling to whittle down the list of entries, we realized that it wasn’t possible to choose just one – so we’ve created an additional prize, for the voice of the Butler himself.

So who were our successful competitors?

We’re delighted to announce that the Voice of The Butler’s Tale will be Jenny Benson, from Lancaster. Jenny will narrate The Butler’s Tale, and her whimsical vocal style will be the perfect foil for the quirky animation created for the App by our animator, Becky Stevens.

And who will be the voice of the noble Butler himself? This role will be ably filled by Watford-based Scott Hammond, whose mellifluous tones strike exactly the right balance between wry humour and calm authority.

Our next task is to get our wonderful ‘voices’ into the recording studio to create our voiceover soundtrack. In the mean time our music man, Jamie Harper, is putting the finishing touches to the sound track. It’s going to be a challenge bringing it all together in time for the App’s pre-Christmas launch. Watch this space!
