About Prelude Studios

Sound is storytelling.


We believe sound is more than something you add to a finished picture. It's part of how a story comes to life.

Prelude Studios is a boutique audio-production studio working across film, television, games, and immersive experiences. Through sound design, dialogue, voice, music, and mixing, we help creators build worlds that feel as compelling as the stories within them.

The people behind Prelude.

Founded by AJ Ver and Malik Howard, Prelude Studios brings together two creative backgrounds with a shared passion for storytelling.

AJ's experience in filmmaking, voice acting, dialect coaching, and production brings a focus on performance and narrative. Malik brings expertise in sound design, audio engineering, and composition, shaping the sonic environments that give stories depth and character.

With over a decade of experience in the world of audio, they approach each project as collaborators, combining creative intention with technical craft to help storytellers realize their vision.

Let's make something worth hearing.
