Sound Lounge Adds Finishing Touches for Ford

Sound Lounge's Audio Engineer Rob Sayers puts the finishing touches on a series of intricate, high-energy :30s announcing the completely redesigned Ford Taurus. The latest addition of the Drive One campaign from A Very Small Office (AVSO) and design/animation studio Offspring features voiceovers complementing the stylish All-New Ford Taurus poised against starkly beautiful landscapes.

Mirrors promotes the Ford Taurus' "indicator-light-warning, radar-sensor linking, blind-spot-penetrating" BLIS side mirrors that warn drivers about potential blind spot dangers.

Engine highlights the model's new twin-turbocharged, direct injection V6 EcoBoost power plant that has "the thirst of a V6, but the thrust of a V8." Radios features a driver faced with the familiar inconvenience of unpredictable road construction.
