Welcome new friends 👋 Curious about our name? Here's the author, the legend, the inspiration behind it all — William S. Burroughs. Inspired by Burroughs because of his ability to disappear into the shadows of big cities, “Los Estudios Invisibles” was born as an inviting space where creatives would escape the bustle of Los Angeles and feel welcome, safe, and comfortable to work in peace. Today, we invite the creative community with open minds and open doors, so that they may feel imaginative and inspired in our space.

Remember when he had Jeff in the studio for foley? Here's the L.A. Theatre Works project he was working on!

"In this darkly comic, poignant, and at times surreal play, two couples in Tunisia — one Muslim and one Jewish — share a deep and complicated friendship before the German takeover of their country in World War II. Now under a brutal regime, they face the truth about their long-simmering feelings about friendship and romance as they struggle to save themselves from a N**i commandant - named Grandma."

Don’t let its size fool you, this space packs a punch. Studio C is a world-class 3-channel room with one of the quietest booths in the city. It’s built for commercial VO, ADR, long-form audio books, small interviews, pop vocal sessions, and overdubs.

"You have sparks in your brain and fire in your heart.
You can decide where to stop and where to start.
You were born unique. None of us are the same.
Your only job: Make them remember your name."

We loved working with Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Larry Fields to record their upcoming children’s books, ‘Little Black Boy’ and ‘Little Black Girl.' What a fantastic project!

Have you met Studio A? Our flagship room has everything you need to produce your project with ease and precision. The studio is tuned for single-person ADR and voice-over, yet big enough for large-cast animation sessions, audio dramas, and full bands.

"Production effects allow the listener to hear conversation in the distance… and generally feel as if they are in a theater and not just listening to a straight reading of the play. Adhir Kalyan as Rosencrantz and Matthew Wolf as Guildenstern carry the bulk of the play and do so ably, balancing the humor and pathos of the tale in bold tones."

That was us! So happy to work with L.A. Theatre Works on this production of “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” and even happier to see that Booklist (.Booklist) chose it for their review of the day!
