The founder of Bell Sound Studios, Bill Bell, was considered to be an inspirational genius in the voice-over community. The stars of voice-over in the 1960s and 70s trusted Bill for their production. When he opened the studio doors in 1965, Burgess Meredith, Orson Welles, Gary Owens, Jack Angel, John Erwin, Joanie Gerber, Mel Blanc, and John Huston were all fixtures of Bell Sound. Bill was also a creative force in commercial radio production. His engineers were put to the test as they tried to keep up with his demanding creative ideas.
