About Prem
Prem's voiceover work has been recognized both by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and by the American Bar Association - quite an unusual combination.
Prem first experimented with professional voiceover training back in 2002-2003 with classes at Voicetrax in Sausalito, California, while at the same time running the Production Department at a San Francisco radio station.
While voicing show promos, quirky station IDs, underwriting announcements and more, he also managed the Production Department's team of about 25 people to get everything voiced and produced on schedule. He now runs the studio Utter Obsession LLC and continues professional voiceover training at Voice One in San Francisco.
But his experience extends far beyond voiceover and audio production into the realms of medicine, law, music, politics, dramatic art, real estate and property management, banking, construction, insurance, retail, surfing, computer programming, executive search, and more - all areas providing different and unique perspectives as to how to approach a script.

January Suborbital Denomination - an album by Amanda Chaudhary, 2024
An unusual honor - VO for a studio musical recording!
Bandleader Amanda Chaudhary recorded January Suborbital Denomination from 2023-2024 joined by a variety of musicians (including the rhythm section of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time Band) and one voiceover artist - Prem - for this Meow Meow Band release.
It's rare for all of the different musical elements featured on this album to come together as seamlessly as they do here, so give it a listen!
Testimonial from bandleader Amanda Chaudhary
"My 2024 album January Suborbital Denomination called for voiceover parts in two tracks. I immediately thought of Prem Lall for the role, having previously heard his work and his wide range of vocal characters. Although Prem had never done a music album before (which is quite different from voice acting, audiobooks, etc.), he jumped right into the project with enthusiasm and professionalism. I provided him with the text, specifics of the characters for each track, as well as rough mixes. We then started collaborating over Zoom to get into details, audio specifics, and the overall album ideas to give context. He then recorded multiple takes at his own Utter Obsession studio. Music recording almost always includes multiple takes, but there is usually one that as a producer I know is "it", and Prem nailed it for both segments.
I was pleased with his work and how it fit into the specific tracks and the album's overall narrative and concept. I am proud to have had him on this project, and I hope to work together again should the opportunity arise."
American Justice on Trial - a film directed by Andrew Abrahams and Herb Ferrette II, 2022
Prem voiced the character of the defense attorney in this documentary about a 1968 trial which influenced the process of jury selection in all trials that would follow. American Justice on Trial kicked off the 2022 San Francisco Film Festival and has since shown around the country and the world.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences placed American Justice on Trial on the shortlist of 15 films to be considered for an Oscar in 2023 in the category "Documentary Short Film" out of the 98 films in this category.
The film received an Honorable Mention from the American Bar Association for its 2023 Silver Gavel Awards for Media and the Arts recognizing outstanding efforts to foster understanding of the law.
Testimonial from director Andrew Abrahams of Open Eye Pictures
“It was a pleasure to work with Prem. He did voiceover as a major character in a film I directed called AMERICAN JUSTICE ON TRIAL. Prem's voice and enthusiasm are outstanding. He studied and researched his role vigorously, responded well to direction, and delivered! I would highly recommend Prem for any kind of voiceover needs.”
Prescient - a novel by Quincy Bragg, 2021
Prem voiced all of the characters (60+) in this novel and produced an audiobook version more than ten hours long. The chapters feature scenes in California, Missouri, and North Carolina and include a rich mixture of personalities and accents.
Testimonial from author Quincy Bragg
"I hired Prem Lall to make an audiobook of my self-published novel 'Prescient.' My partner has great difficulty reading large blocks of conventional text and I wanted her to be able to enjoy my book.
Prem was responsive to my needs: he read the book in advance carefully and came back with useful questions and clarifications; he developed a proposal that was clear and direct. In production of the audiobook he was prompt, timely, and met my schedule requirements.
Prem’s voice is clear, his pronunciation excellent, he is able to vary his pitch and accent to relay different characters and moods. His voice is authoritative and precise without becoming overbearing—it is pleasant to listen to.
I highly recommend Prem as a voice artist and narrator."
Brisbane Artists' Evening of Sharing, 2020
The Evening of Sharing included works by local artists, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, photographers, painters, writers...and Prem, the sole voiceover artist...and took place Saturday, February 8 at Brisbane's Mission Blue Center.
Prem created nine VO videos which were played in series on the large screen you see behind him in this photo, broadcast to the audience of over 200 people over a top-notch sound system. The presentation was a hit, receiving some of the most enthusiastic applause of the evening, and included a mix of the "serious" and the "kooky. "
The serious element involved medical narration, a paralegal explainer video, documentary narration, a workers' compensation explainer video, and political narration.
However, he interspersed between the five serious videos four crazy character voice videos, and the audience had no idea what would come next. They enjoyed the eclectic VO mix of his presentation.
Little did they know that soon after this gathering, the COVID-19 pandemic would shut everything down.
VOcation Conference NYC, 2019
Prem met many luminaries of the voiceover industry at the three-day VOcation Conference in New York City including J. Michael Collins, best known for his masterful production of demos. This pic is from the conference's opening gala on the evening of September 13, 2019.
Equally important, Prem met and interacted with many people in the field with whom he's since connected professionally on LinkedIn and elsewhere.
