Biography

Rupert’s voice work is shaped by a rare combination of unearned privilege and suspicious versatility. He is a moderately apologetic white heterosexual British/Australian male of English, Lithuanian-Jewish, and Argentine heritage – an intersectional profile so confusing that even he has given up explaining it at dinner parties.

He brings competence, punctuality, and a working microphone to every job. His sound is technically proficient, emotionally devastating (on request), and – according to his therapist – unresolved.

Despite the obvious disadvantages of his demographic, Rupert has accumulated over three decades of experience, 300 audiobook titles, an Olivier Award, two Audies, and a Golden Voice designation – an honour shared with Miriam Margolyes and Derek Jacobi, neither of whom would survive the current bio cycle.

His accent collection – assembled across a peripatetic Anglo-Argentine upbringing in London and Barcelona, several years in New York, and an unsettling amount of time listening to strangers – is so extensive that colleagues have described it as “freaky.” He can do your region. He can do your city. He can probably do your grandmother.

His vocal range has been compared to Jim Carrey’s face, which is either a compliment or a medical condition, and at this point he has stopped asking.

Rupert is sorry about his heritage. He is not sorry about the Olivier

Reviews

Rupert is hands down my favourite voice actor to collaborate with. He brings an enormous amount of exuberance and creativity to every script, with a versatility that is mind-boggling; he can present you with a myriad of impersonations, accents and personalities. You’d be mad not to give Rupert the opportunity to improvise in the booth – he will surprise and delight you Cate Stewart, Parliament Films, Director

I’ve worked with Rupert for many many years (in London and Sydney), and he’s been every voice under the sun for me – JFK, a pot noodle, a narrator, a dog, and a corporate voice – and has nailed it 100% of the time. Rupert is gem, who always has my clients enraptured with his amazing array of voices and stories. Rupert is seriously the best. Emily Bull, Hello Future, Founder

Rupert is a prodigy. We call him ‘the vocal chameleon’ because there’s nobody on earth alive or dead he can’t impersonate. Working with Rupert is always electrifying, although ‘work’ isn’t the right word because you’re not supposed to laugh that much at work. Rupert is an artist and he paints with his voice. Just give the man a canvas, microwave some popcorn, and sit back and enjoy the show. Garry Dean, Nova Network, Creative Director

There’s that precarious time when the voice that you heard in your head helps talk a thought into an idea, that then becomes a script. This is when anyone can then try to be that voice in your head. This is when an idea can be lost. Rupert is one of the few voice actors who knows this. He is the champion of that voice in your head. He knows an idea when he reads one. Tim Green, M&C Saatchi, Executive Creative Director
