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.” Audio Book - Fiction (magical realism, romance, contemporary, psychological): *PRESCIENT, copyright 2021, a novel by Quincy Bragg (all 60+ character voices, narration, and production by Prem Lall; over 10 hours in length) 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."

As in all collaborations, certain people lead while others hold back; Prem was always among the leaders...The project involved stage design, acting, and lighting, as well as computer-synthesized and electronic music and 'live' musical performance. His considerable acting talent, previously unknown to me, was a most welcome boost that complemented his other talents and accomplishments on the musical side...I can heartily recommend him for work in the general area of sound technology and sound recording...he would adapt to a new situation and learn new skills quickly indeed."
