Australian voices with Melbourne craft

Australian voices who record for Melbourne agencies, studios and businesses from broadcast-quality home studios around the country. Press play. Coffee not included.

The agency question

Why Melbourne's walking out on the agency

Melbourne will queue for a croissant, but it draws the line at queueing for a voice. The old way meant a booker in Cremorne, a shortlist by Thursday, a studio on Church Street the week after, and a quote that arrived when it felt like it. A city that makes half the country's ads decided its own casting should move quicker than a tram on Swanston Street.

Agencies still have their place. It's just not between you and Friday.

The agency way

  • One agency's roster, whoever's on the books this year
  • Showreels that were recorded for someone else's script
  • A studio to book, a room to get across town to, a clock running
  • A quote that turns up after the deadline has started to sweat

The online way

  • Hand-picked Australian voice over artists reading your actual script, free
  • Auditions usually within the hour, day or night, footy weekend or not
  • Broadcast-quality home studios, finished files within a day
  • One clear rate card, and re-records are free if a read misses your notes

The briefs

What Melbourne records.

Melbourne makes a lot of the country's advertising, and it shows in the briefs. Campaign spots for the agencies in Cremorne and Collingwood, sports promos every weekend of the year, arts and events announcements, retail radio for the big centres, cultural and community pieces, and a heavy run of eLearning and induction for the universities and the health networks. Melbourne wants craft, and it can hear the difference.

  • Agency campaign spots
  • Sports and events promos
  • Arts and festival announcements
  • Retail radio
  • eLearning and health training
  • Corporate and annual reports
  • On-hold and IVR
  • Documentary and podcast narration

Questions

Melbourne, asked and answered.

Is there a Melbourne studio I need to visit?

No. Every voice records from their own broadcast-quality home studio, so you get finished files without booking a room in Cremorne or anywhere else. Direction goes in the brief and through the job page, and re-records are free if a read misses your notes.

How fast do auditions come in?

Usually within the hour of posting, from voice over artists we've reviewed one by one. You'll hear your own script read, not a generic demo.

Is The Voice Realm a voice over agency in Melbourne?

It's an online casting site rather than an agency, so there's no booker and no roster to be limited to. Australian voice over artists we've reviewed one by one read your script for free, and you book the one you like. Melbourne agencies and studios cast this way too.

Can I get an Australian voice that doesn't sound like an ad?

Yes. Ask for a conversational or documentary read and say what it's for. Many of our Australian voices do narration and eLearning all week and only put on the ad voice when they're asked.

What will it cost?

The rate card is public and depends on the length and use of the script, not on where you are. You'll see the price before you post.
