The Kitchen Adds Tel-Aviv Facility
Story Highlights
Localisation specialist The Kitchen has debuted a new Tel-Aviv facility, its 13th worldwide, with the new studio featuring two dubbing suites, with a third suite in the works.
Now known as The Kitchen Israel, the studio joins existing Kitchen studio locations in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Turkey, MENA, Russia, Moldova, Brazil, Mexico and the U.S.
The facility will be helmed by managing directors Amit Amrami and Ayal Yishay, with the two coming over to The Kitchen after being partners in the 17-year-old Papa Studios venture, rebranded as The Kitchen Israel. Papa Studios specialised in music recording, mixing and mastering, along with musical production.
“This is a logical next move for us,” Amrami and Yishay said in a joint statement. “We had already begun to make the natural progression into providing voice over and dubbing, services for our clients and found our backgrounds in music and audio production have given us an excellent understanding of the intricacies of the voice over and dubbing world.
“Being a part of The Kitchen, and all that we have to offer collectively, gives us an opportunity to tap into the country’s large, local voice talent registry, many of whom have worked with us on the music side previously. The Israeli production market, both its exports and imports, is exploding, and we’re delighted to now be a part of its future.”
Located at 29th HaNnatziv St. in Tel-Aviv, The Kitchen Israel has taken necessary precautions to protect its staff and talent during COVID-19, the company said.
“The need for expanded programming for the Israeli market has never been greater,” Amrami and Yishay said. “With more time during the Pandemic to watch television, the demand for quality Hebrew dubbing services continues to expand. We look forward to playing a large role in The Kitchen’s future; to getting to know our sister companies, working with them all to produce multiple language needs to producers, networks and distribution companies from around the globe.”
