Since graduating from Theatre Nepean in 2001 Steve’s had a steady stream of work not only across film and TV, but he’s also helmed major campaigns for clients such as Allianz, Toyota, Telstra, and Samsung, plus served as a regular promo voice for the 7 Network, 10 Network, National Geographic Channel and SBS Television.

Laurence loves to surf the northern beaches of Sydney and cook Italian bakes for his whole family, but there is no-where he would rather be than in the studio collaborating and exploring vocal choices for different clients.

Laurence has a very relaxed yet strong sound, which combined with his vivid imagination makes for a unique combination behind the mic. Laurence is inspired by the creative process in the studio; working with passionate others to assist in the journey from script to final product.

Since a young age, she has been performing within many and varied styles of acting, music theatre and readings.  Her professionalism and wonderful ability to adapt to any direction makes her an obvious choice for a clear and quality female 20′s/ 30′s voice.

From authoritative readings with driven attention to detail to crisp and bubbly scripts, Renee has the depth of talent to respond to any challenge with several clients recalling her repeatedly for many campaigns due to her outstanding reliability and excellence.

In addition to her wonderfully versatile reading tone, her singing voice is exemplary.  Add in the brilliant actor that she is and you have the chemistry for any colour of read you could ask for.

Book her for your campaign today,  you will be glad you did!

Countless times as a little child she sat in the booth beside dad with headphones on to hear everything that was going on. Once a client asked her if she thought dad had just put down a good take, she said: “Hmmm, it was OK, but I think he could do a better one.” So….she’s quite at ease around studios!

Importantly, Asha readily takes direction in a voice session without becoming shy or intimidated. She has recorded with a number of Sydney’s well known engineers who have all remarked on how easy she is to work with. This confidence combined with her well articulated yet very cute voice and excellent reading ability means she might just be the right kid for your job.

…..and when you meet Asha, be sure to ask about her backyard chickens, Cupcakes and Chub Chub!

She has an incredible skill for articulating client’s needs and understanding the heart of a campaign and character.

Since graduating NIDA, Aimee has become the voice of numerous successful national and international campaigns and network promos.

Coming from a strong acting and singing background has given Aimee an edge in the voice over industry.

Her talent to really “read between the lines” has won her favor with everyone she’s worked with.  She provides depth and character to reads that are guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.

From corporate narrations and safety campaigns, through to sweet and sultry promos, bright beauty sells, characters and high-energy reads, Aimee can do it all.

Aimee’s voice is real, vivacious, action packed, inviting, smooth, sexy, commanding, wry and intelligent.

Her dulcet tones achieved through honing her skills as a vocalist and voice-over artist.

Have a listen to Mary’s voice over demo to appreciate her versatility.

- Archie played the lead part in the school play – as the bad guy Rumpelstiltskin. (He loves his drama class.)

- At a short course at NIDA Archie won the kids’ sword fighting competition. (Arch has watched ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ way too many times.

- Archie is one the top readers in his year. He loves fantasy stories and is even reading ‘Lord of the Rings’ on his own. (It’s his favourite book.)

- His favourite sport is climbing. He’ll have a go at climbing anything that looks challenging. The first thing he said when he saw the Harbor Bridge at 3 years old was “can I go up there” (meaning the top.)

- Archie has trained with one of Sydney’s leading voice artists who identified his ability to pick things up and instill personality.

- In his very first term at school Archie won the ‘I Love Learning Award’.

Best of all Arch is fun to have around. He’s loves a good chat with grown-ups.

Although new to the world of voice-overs, his confident, smooth, and unique sound has already seen him entrusted as “the voice” of major national TV and radio campaigns for both Westpac and Optus.

He also utilises his world class training as an actor to bring huge versatility into the studio: only recently voicing a myriad of historical characters for Radio National, a tight arse twenty-something Aussie bloke for a fast food giant, and a sick, pathetic office worker for a major cold & flu company.

Stephen trained at The Juilliard School in New York City where he was the second Australian admitted in the Drama Division’s history. There he was cast in over twenty productions, ranging from a powerless King Lear to a power hungry pig in Animal Farm. Following graduation, he performed alongside many fine American actors including Tim Robbins, Harvey Keitel, Lauren Ambrose and Sam Waterston.

Back home, he has worked with the Sydney Theatre Company, Belvoir, and at the Ensemble Theatre. His screen credits include Farscape, The Rage in Placid Lake, Home and Away, Life on Mars (USA), and will soon be seen wearing a very expensive hair piece in the upcoming Baz Luhrmann extravaganza, The Great Gatsby.

He wishes to thank legendary voice over artist and fellow RMK-er, Dame Anna Hruby, for showing him the ropes.
