The venerable building above the Franz Gertsch Museum is familiar to many Burgdorf residents. Built in the 19th century, it was home to the Amtsersparniskasse Burgdorf (AEK) for a long time. Recently, the German dubbing voices of Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts and other Hollywood stars have been heard from the rooms. Who is the new tenant?

"We moved our recording studios here at the beginning of June. After almost 20 years in business on Bernstrasse in Burgdorf, we have found the ideal premises here. The additional space we have gained in Burgdorf has prompted us to close our small branch in Bern. We are delighted with the great location in the center of Burgdorf," says Martin Lehmann, Managing Director of Blue Box Tonstudios. Behind the thick sandstone walls, the studios are busy producing. However, it is not music bands that are recorded here, but voice recordings for various media or online, TV, cinema and radio commercials. And in 55 languages on request. Clients include local radio stations, advertising agencies and small regional companies as well as major national corporations.

And where can you hear Bruce Willis' voice now? Martin Lehmann: "Prominent German dubbing voices of Hollywood stars are often requested for commercials or telephone announcements. The voice of Bruce Willis is one of the most popular. It has a very strong character and gives an advertisement that certain something. We have also worked on various projects with the dubbing voices of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kevin Spacey and Eddie Murphy. However, these voice actors do not come to us in Burgdorf, but record the texts in one of our partner sound studios in Germany. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, the recording studios are linked during the recording process. We can record and direct the dubbing voices in the best quality in real time." Bluebox also works with well-known actors and voice actors from all over Switzerland. In contrast to the dubbing actors, they can actually be found in Burgdorf. Blue Box creates advertising and acoustic identity for brands and companies.
