BIOGRAPHY

Simon is heard on numerous audiobooks, has played hundreds of roles as curious characters in creative radio spots and been the voice-actor behind scores of big name Australian TV campaigns. He’s a favourite of corporate producers and has voiced for twelve different TV and radio networks across Australia and overseas.

He has worked at the highest level of Australian voice actors for many years; always represented by RMK. His true skill is being able to read a script to ensure that listeners really hear the message its makers intend.

Clients find Simon very easy to work with and often use him on vastly different jobs, such is his versatility. He also appears in front of the camera as both an actor and presenter.

He is available in person at any Sydney studio or from his home studio via Source Connect.

But that’s enough… trying to describe a voice in words is like trying to describe a wine with emojis. So, go on, have a listen!

 

REVIEWS

  1. We always make Simon do a second read – that’s because he always absolutely nails it the first time and we have studio time to fill! But in all seriousness, Simon has the unique talent of slipping into just the right voice. It makes our job ridiculously easy. We just sit on the couch and say: Yeah, that was GREAT! And try and think of other ways we can improve it – but we can’t. Oh, and by the way, we’ve thrown him some curly scripts and he just delivers.

  2. Simon is the kind of Voice Artist that can rescue a bad script from the edge of Turddom, and actually make it sound good!

    Eddie Bye - Commercial Production Manager at Nova Entertainment, Adelaide

  3. It doesn’t matter whether he’s playing a biker or a banker; Simon’s utterly trustworthy tone brings a bucket of bonhomie to any read you can throw at him.

    Simon Hills-Johnes - Creative Director, Nova 969/SmoothFM 95.3

  4. I’ve recorded many radio campaigns with Simon, ranging from over-wordy retail spots to demanding character reads. Whatever the script, Simon’s a very intuitive voice artist, who always goes the extra yard to really lift it off the page. Easygoing, collaborative and a fun presence in any session.

  5. Simon is one the most clear and precise voices in the business. Whether you want ‘real’ or ‘retail’, ‘warm’ or ‘wacky’, Simon delivers every time. Simon is at the top of his game!

    Chris Gregson - Network Creative Director, Macquarie Media Limited

  6. I have worked with Simon for many years and it’s always a pleasure to have him in the studio. Simon brings an incredible amount of experience to every voice over session and is always willing to try anything to get that perfect take. He has a great skill at choosing just the right feel (mood, style, emotion) for every read.
    I highly recommend Simon for any voiceover work you may have.

  7. Simon constantly delivers a perfect read every take, he’s always professional and willing to go the extra mile for his clients, from one word to pages of phone prompts! Simon’s voice box is in my studio box a lot! Hence the level of quality he delivers in our voice over world.

    Simon Lister - Nylon Studios, Sydney and New York

  8. I’ve known Simon Harvey ever since he started in the Australian Voice Over scene. And that was years ago. His experience and expertise always brings that extra something to a recording session. He is great with clients, always delivers, and without stating the obvious, he has a great voice. And I gotta say, I’m not sure I’ve worked with anyone who can read page after page of long complicated script without making a mistake like Simon can. Sure makes my job easier. If you haven’t worked with Simon, you should.

  9. Simon Harvey has the kind of voice that mothers love” – someone once said that to me in a session and it seems to be true as Simon is continuously booked to talk to the everyday woman. He’s super easy to work with and nails it every time!

    Abigail Sie - Song Zu

  10. Simon is one of those voices I think of as a chameleon. It doesn’t matter who the client is, or what the product is, he just fits in & sounds right. He is a skilled voice artist who is quick in the studio & understands the nuances of the spoken word. Simon has a knack of turning complicated scripts into clear communications. Book him.

    Greg Crittenden - Take 2 Creative Audio

  11. Simon seems to be able to walk up to a script and just ‘get it’. You never have to explain your idea, he’s already thought about it, understands it, and knows how to best portray it. Simon has one of those voices that isn’t a ‘traditional’ voice. He’s not over-polished, and that makes him much more relatable. He doesn’t read, he communicates.

    Matt Dickson - Creative Director (and Gold Siren winner), Southern Cross Austereo.
