An Unforgettable Encounter in Saint-Omer
My first encounter with Benoît Allemane dates back to December 2014, during the official presentation of the film La Chambre des Rêves, a promotional film for the Saint-Omer region, directed by Frédéric Fiolet and written by Julien Duquenne. In this film, Benoît doesn't just lend his voice; he also appears on screen, embodying a character with a commanding presence. During this presentation, I had the opportunity to hear him live for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience. His voice, both gentle and powerful, literally filled the room, capturing each audience member with rare intensity. That day, his firm handshake and our conversation marked the beginning of a deep admiration for this exceptional artist.
In 2020, I had the honor of welcoming Benoît to my studio in Saint-Omer for the recording of a narration for a film about the Audomarois marshland. Although Benoît does not have a home studio, he prefers to travel to professional studios to ensure optimal sound quality. This session was a moment of immense pride for me, not only because I assisted him technically, but also because he described my studio as a "real recording studio," a compliment I deeply cherish.
