Voice Description

I am a natural Australian, born and raised in Sydney. I can provide all the Aussie dialects, from the typical, laconic bushman (think the 'Croc Hunter') through to the corporate CEO.

I am the professional voice used by the National Australia Bank, GE Money, Ticketmaster, Qantas, the U.S. Consul General, the British High Commission, the Australian Department of Defence, Hewlett-Packard and more.

In a recent focus group conducted by Nuance Communications on behalf of GE Money, my voice was described in terms such as friendly, reassuring, calming and clear.

My voice is particularly well accepted on both Australian and New Zealand business phone systems, and has been described as having a 'Trans Tasman' quality – which I think is intended as a compliment!

My Voice Experience

Since commencing my voiceover career in 1988, my voice has become familiar to many thousands of Australians every day, particularly as a friendly voice on the phone.

In casual conversations, people often think they've spoken to me before - but it usually turns out to be because they've heard me so many time on various business telephone systems.

My voice is used on telephone systems operated by Qantas Airlines in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA, for around fifteen years now. The IVR service, through which callers can track Domestic and International flights for most airlines, receives over five million calls each year in Australia alone.

I also head up On Hold Pty Ltd, which provides telephone marketing soundtracks (“Sold On Hold” and “On Hold Messages”) to major clients such as Qantas Holidays, MBF, Du Pont, Electrolux, Epson and TomTom, all of which feature my voice.

Please have a listen to my demos, which feature a few radio & TV commercials, corporate & website audio and more.

I’m also happy to provide free personalised demos – please feel free to contact me to discuss your voice-over requirements. I look forward to hearing from you!
