In this glimpse of our behind-the-scenes journey, Natalie reveals how she was finding her voice as Abby. Oliver points out that we might be able to use these videos in the future, which causes both legends to start fiddling with their backgrounds... I certainly didn't expect what Andy had hidden in that carrier bag! We started to laugh regularly during these sessions and the three of us have become good friends, which has created a really nice atmosphere to collaborate in. And we are happy for you all to be part of our Helvetica family 🙏😊

Into the Wardrobe! Here's a sneak peek behind the scenes from our second Zoom session. Since the previous one, we had invested (in advance of the crowdfund) in a Zoom H2N microphone for Natalie and conducted many tests to find somewhere in her home where she could record professional quality audio... and we settled on her wardrobe! It all turned out rather well didn't it? 🤭🙌🎙
Here's another clip from our very first pre-production meeting on Zoom, back in October 2022, where Natalie asked us a very important question... "How were we going to do it??"
Since this day, the three of us have pretty much talked to each other every single day, and it's fun to travel back in time and see our early plotting! Thank you all for being part of our journey ever since!
