Biography

Rhys Muldoon is one of Australia’s most versatile and experienced voice artists. And for good reason. He has spent fifteen years lending his voice to major campaigns, documentaries, TV series and audiobooks for clients across Australia and overseas — working with every significant agency, studio and broadcaster along the way. When he reads your copy, he’s not guessing at how language works.

The voice comes with serious pedigree. A graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, Rhys has spent over twenty years in front of Australian audiences: *Interceptor* (Netflix), *New Gold Mountain* (SBS), *North Shore* (Paramount), *Bay of Fires* (ABC), *Informer 3838* (Nine), *Fighting Season* (Foxtel), *The Secret River* (ABC), *The Sapphires*, *Grass Roots* (ABC), *Rake* (ABC), *Jack Irish* (ABC), *House Husbands* (Nine) and *Play School* (ABC), among many others.

He has played Tony Blair, Mozart, Isaac Newton and Malcolm Turnbull on stage. He has studied voice and etymology formally, and has written speeches for prime ministers, CEOs, politicians and business leaders.

His two albums — *Perfect is the Enemy of Good* and *I’m Not Singing* — were both ARIA nominated. He has received nominations across ARIA, AACTA and AFI awards.

Accents are a particular strength — he grew up a military kid, moving between countries, which probably explains the ears. He has been the trusted voice of major health and infrastructure campaigns, hosted breakfast, mornings and evenings on Triple J, 702 and 666 ABC, and narrated many audiobooks including the autobiographies of Shane Warne and Glen Maxwell, and novels by Tony Jones and Nick Earls.

Based across Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania, Rhys has one simple rule: if you can see him and hear him, he’s in the room. Technology’s good like that. He has recorded remotely from across Australia and around the world, and his professional home studio ensures the quality is never the variable. (He blames his audiophile father for the latter.)

Reviews

Rhys Muldoon brings a lived experience to the microphone. His voice naturally conveys authority, nuance and truth - qualities that the listening audience intuitively trust. This is the reason he has been my 'choice of voice' for many brands and services over the years.

His inherent acting ability has sharpened his instinct around pacing, subtext, and emotional beats. Rhys has the unique ability to deliver layers of meaning with subtle shifts in tone, inflection and cadence.

This ultimately leads to making scripts feel less "read" and more lived. Sam Yeomans, Head of Production / Senior Producer

Whether it's political or brand, Rhys doesn't just deliver the words, he delivers the feeling behind them. He is my go-to voice over artist." Dee Madigan, Creative Director.

We had a complex script for health professionals that Rhys handled with complete professionalism. Rhys gave the project an injection of character and nuance which brings the project to life. A pleasure to work with. Jo Wellington, University of Melbourne

I have directed Rhys in many television shows as well as my debut feature film The Sapphires.
Rhys has also worked for me as a specialist voice over artist for which he excelled.
Rhys is a very talented artist, he is superbly talented across all fields and will go to many lengths to achieve greatness. Wayne Blair, Director

Working with Rhys Muldoon on the audiobook “The Wisdom Tree” was an absolute pleasure. I found him to be very professional, and well-prepared. He is a highly-skilled and versatile narrator, with great characterisation skills, and needed absolutely minimal direction when it came to phrasing / pronunciation issues. I am happy to recommend him highly, as both a narrator and an actor. Chris Chappelle, Risk Sound

Having worked with Rhys for over 10 years I’ve utilised his vocal range – from the deep and raspy God like authority, to the soft supple natural tones that really represent the Australian psyche. Then, if you’re brave, there are his character voices, favourite of which is Bruce the South African expatriate. Rhys is the voice you feel like you know, or want to know – enough said. Behren Schulz, Accenture
