Most people recognize a brand before they ever see it. Jill Kershaw is why.
A globally recognized audio creative who has worked from brief to broadcast — conceiving, producing, directing, and speaking on the power of branded sound for over 25 years — Jill has earned hardware from every major advertising award show, including two Cannes Titanium Lions. Her peers have repeatedly called on her to shape the industry's highest standards — as jury chair and juror at Cannes Lions, the Clio Awards, LIA Awards, and The One Show. Jill is Sound & Fury’s…
Founder & Chief Executive Officer.
Her belief that how a story is told matters as much as what it has to say was forged across both the production studio and the creative agency — a combination that gives her an uncommon depth of perspective few in the industry can claim. As the Head of Radio + Audio Content at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, she helmed audio for some of the most iconic brands in advertising: Burger King, Volkswagen, Miller Lite, Coca-Cola, Domino's Pizza, Old Navy, Microsoft, MINI, and Truth.
In 2009, she founded Sound & Fury on a simple but radical idea: that audio isn't a deliverable — it's the difference. Today it stands as the industry's premier voice studio, responsible for more North American and global localization voicecastings than any other.
Beyond the studio, Jill is a certified yoga and meditation instructor who dedicates her time to creating volunteer opportunities for entertainment professionals. Namaste.

Carli is an expert in the ins and outs of the voiceover universe. Casting trends and markets, SAG contracts, business affairs, and attention to detail are all things Carli is well known for.

Chief Creative Officer.
Carli’s experience at some of the best talent agencies in America makes her uniquely qualified to find and nurture voice talent for commercials, animation, video games, trailers, and promos. Not only does she know a great voice when she hears one, but she’s also developed the expertise to direct the best performance possible.
Carli graduated from Syracuse University and is crazy about her work, her husband, and her two boys. She also loves Broadway shows, but has to admit streaming Love Island at home with her 160-pound Saint Bernard can curb her finer tastes.

If you want a story told well in Spanish, you need Salo. After working as a Creative and Group Creative Director at many multicultural shops on blue chip national and global brands, we are proud to call Salo our…
Director Creativo Español.
While serving as Creative Director at Al Punto, Salo played a key role in integrating cross-cultural direction in partnership with general market agencies, including Goodness Mfg, DDB, Common, M&L Partners, MRM, and BBDO. As Group Creative Director at Acento Advertising, his leadership among partner agencies has been pivotal in creating award-winning 360 full market campaigns for Wells Fargo.
Salo’s knowledge goes far beyond cultural adaptations of script and music, regional accents, and local syntax. Although he doesn’t list any hobbies on his resume, we suspect that is because he has a baby daughter, Theia, by whom he is gobsmacked.
