Hey, I made you a mixtape. More voicey than romantic #soz⁣ ⁣ Client: Chris’ Dips⁣ Project: Instagram and Facebook ads⁣ Style: playful, upbeat⁣⁣ ⁣ Chris, you had me at smashed avocado.⁣ ⁣ Take my home deposit and look the other way, cause I’mma double dip RN.⁣ ⁣ Hear more double dip-worthy voicey snippets in the ole highlights reel up in my profile. ⁣ ⁣
⚡️ H A C K ⚡️ make editing your audio 9.7 times faster with this little gem.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Grab yourself a dog training clicker. They cost less than 10 bucks from the pet store.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Absolutely useless for schooling an obstinate Mini Foxy Jack Russell cross 🐕⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Unbelievably brilliant for directing your eyeballs to where you need to edit ✂️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When you or the person you’re recording fluffs up, click it. The sharp click sticks out like 🐕🎾🎾 in your edit. Making it easy to quickly seek and destroy. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Swipe across to see what it looks like in waveform form.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And who knows, maybe the click conditioning is super-effective on humans and that repetitive little audio clip around the ears will condition away any vocal mistakes in the first place 🤔⁣⁣ ⁣ If you want a voice actor who’s also an audio editing nerd 🤓 get in touch through my bio. I record and voice your script; then edit and deliver the audio in your format of choice.⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣
P S A : a pop filter is not for life.⁣ ⁣ Remember that blue gelatinous sticky hand you got in the World’s Best Jokes showbag? Then you dropped it on the carpet. Then you spent the next month picking out fluff, hair and minuscule foodstuffs?⁣ ⁣ That’s pretty much the story of the communal pop filter. Only the fluff, hair and foodstuffs are more like colds, flu, gastro and halitosis. Actually, foodstuffs also highly likely.⁣ ⁣ Moral of the story: change those circles of doom. And regularly. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Protect your expensive mics. And protect singers and voice actors from each other.⁣ ⁣ ⁣
⁣That time I was a dog. ⁣ ⁣ This voice over was a promo for RSPCA Animal Rescue. Written, spoken and authorised by yours truly. Plus an MVO. Gotta have that light and shade right? ⁣ ⁣ I really felt a connection with Missy. Still do. Probably due to the fact I’ve been wearing the same socks for three days running now. ⁣ ⁣ If you need a Missy for your project or you’re looking for a promo and imaging voice, slide into my DMs and request a VO sample. I’d love to be your perfect voice match 💘⁣ ⁣
With voice over, there’s a bunch of cherries on top. Here’s just a few...⁣ ⁣ 🎤 You get to try all the audio gadgets—mics, preamps, headphones. Even pop filters (if sassy nylons are your thing). Your obsession with audio paraphernalia is also tax deduction.⁣ ⁣ 🤓 You’re always learning—I can tell you all about the advances in polymer technology. Satellite imagery is a walk in the park. I know the best tactics for introducing a newborn baby to the family dog. Staying safe online? I’m your gal. In my TV promo days, captain smug over here also learnt what was happening on Lost before everyone else.⁣ ⁣ 🎨 You collaborate with amazing creatives including copy writers, producers, audio engineers, advertising executives and social media strategists. It’s not only inspiring, it’s also a great way to grow and develop with the diverse range feedback you get from these various niches.⁣ ⁣ 🎭 You’re part of an amazing community. Whether it’s joining in voice over workouts, attending conferences or connecting over social media, voice actors have this generous habit of sharing knowledge, providing advice and offering support. Bonus: they can also talk audio gadgets and room treatments all day...⁣ ⁣ 🤸🏼‍♀️ It’s a big old bunch of fun. There’s not many occupations that allow you play all kinds of characters. And no two jobs are the same. You could start your day as a talking elephant for kids’ app. Next up you’re channelling your best profesh explainer voice. Then it’s on to a hard-sell, overly excited TV commercial. Over to some warm and friendly IVR prompts. And to round things off for the day, it’s some radio imaging.⁣ ⁣ ❓What do you love most about what you do?⁣ ⁣ ⁣
Spitting out rap lyrics = high-energy mouth, jaw and voice workout. ⁣ ⁣ It’s the vocal equivalent of step aerobics. But less lycra and more swearing. ⁣ ⁣ Actually, I have dropped a hotstepping F-bomb during every three knee repeater. Also all the times I fell off the step. And when I pulled out my best turn step that should have been a V step and crashed into the chick next to me. ⁣ ⁣ So swears are probably on par na na na nah.⁣ ⁣
⁣Client: Proactiv⁣ Project: 3 Step Solution TV commercial⁣⁣⁣ Style: youthful, natural, upbeat⁣ ⁣ Very proud to have something in common with one, Kendall Jenner. ⁣ ⁣ Besides our respective cease and desist letters issued by various musical acts that is.⁣ ⁣ We’ve both been peddling the wares of clear skin gurus Proactiv.⁣ ⁣ Naturally I was chosen as a brand ambassador due to my celebrity status after that time I appeared waving manically in the background of the Weekend Sunrise news set. Lucky I used my good arm. Those news and sports segments are deceptively long when you’re concurrently blocking children with your other arm to ensure you remain front and centre.⁣ ⁣ It was probably also due to my huge social media following. I understand why Kendall can charge so much for a sponsored insta post. Cause same.⁣ ⁣ I think my momager also helped by sending in those glamour shots I had taken at the Tuggeranong Hyperdome when I was 12. The orange foundation the photographer slapped on me contrasted beautifully with my green polo shirt. Still can’t get over how cheap that $180 portfolio with 5 pictures was. ⁣ ⁣
Who has the sexiest accent of them all?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ According to a global survey of more than a million people, it’s my neighbours New Zealand⁣⁣ 🇳🇿⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ‘Outrageously charming’ I believe is the official ruling.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Good on the Kiwis. A close second was South Africa 🇿🇦 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And Australia? We came a respectable 5th 🇦🇺⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Not sure I agree though. Tri Nations talk is not what I consider to be bringing sexy back. Thank Cristo us Aussies were beat by the Italians 🇮🇹⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Big 7 Travel who ran the survey summed up the Aussie accent beautifully: ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸—𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺—𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Makes me wanna whack on my good trackies and pour a celebratory chardy.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And if you want the world’s 5th sexiest accent on your next project, shoot me a DM for a sample read of your script.⁣⁣ ⁣
