Australian voices for Sydney briefs

Every one of these voices records in a broadcast-quality home studio and delivers Sydney briefs day and night. Hit play. If none of them is your voice, there are plenty more inside.

The agency question

Why Sydney's ditching the agency

Sydney invented the long lunch and the longer email chain. For years, booking a voice meant ringing a booker in Surry Hills, waiting for a shortlist, waiting for a studio slot, then waiting for the invoice. The town that moves fastest in the country was casting voices at the speed of 1998. So it stopped.

Agencies still have their place. It's just not between you and a Tuesday deadline.

The agency way

  • A shortlist of whoever the booker fancies this week
  • Showreels recorded for somebody else's script
  • A studio to book, a room to get to, a clock running
  • Office hours, so a Friday 5pm brief waits until Monday

The online way

  • Hand-picked Australian voice over artists reading your actual script, free
  • Auditions usually within the hour, day or night
  • 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 Sydney records.

Sydney is where the big campaigns get made. National TV and radio spots for the agencies in Pyrmont and Surry Hills, corporate videos for the towers on George Street, fintech and app explainers from the Tech Central end of town, tourism pieces for the Harbour and the Northern Beaches, and a steady run of eLearning for the universities and the banks. Whatever the brief, the read has to sound like it belongs here.

  • TV and radio commercials
  • Corporate and investor videos
  • Fintech and app explainers
  • Tourism and lifestyle
  • eLearning and inductions
  • On-hold and IVR
  • Real estate walk-throughs
  • Podcast intros and trailers

Things every Sydney brief already knows.

02

The area code

Read it out on an on-hold script and half the country knows exactly where you are. Your voice should sound like it belongs there too.

1932

The year the Bridge opened

Sydney has been the big stage ever since. Give the script a voice that can fill it, and a read that doesn't need a second take.

UTC+10

Sydney time

Post your script at knock-off and the first auditions usually land before the ferry docks at Manly.

Questions

Sydney, asked and answered.

Do I need to book a studio in Sydney?

No. Every voice over artist on the site records in their own broadcast-quality home studio and sends you finished files, ready for the edit. Nothing to book, nothing to hire.

How quickly will I hear Sydney-ready voices?

Post your script and auditions usually start arriving within the hour, any day of the week. Finished recordings usually land within 24 hours of booking, often faster for short scripts.

Is this a voice over agency in Sydney?

Not in the old sense. There's no booker and no studio to hire. It's an online casting site where Australian voice over artists we've reviewed one by one audition your script for free, and you book the one you like. Plenty of Sydney agencies and production houses cast this way now.

Can I choose how Australian the accent is?

Yes. Say in the brief whether you want broad, general or cultivated, and whether it should sound like a mate or a newsreader. Australian voice over artists move between those registers all day.

What does a Sydney voice over cost?

Rates are set by the length and use of the script, not by the city. The full rate card is public, so you'll know the price before you post.
