Thank you for prompting me to make a little collection of my recent video game work! 🙏 So thrilled to have had the opportunity to work on these amazing projects 😊

Hi my name is John and I do the funny voice thing with my mouth. I’ve been in a few things here and there, both out and upcoming :)))

Hiyooo!! I'm Chanisha and I've been voice acting for real since 2022! I'm Kiwi but live in the US now so hopefully I still count 😅 Here's my latest video game visual reel! youtu.be/h2kaRs4Ysi4?...

Hey there! I'm Edwyn Tiong and I've been around on the internet doing this voice acting thing for many a hot minute! Boy I sure does voice for a lot of point and click adventure games, huh?

Hellooo! I'm Aimee Smith and I'm a full-time Australian voice actor who has recorded for over 200 video games remotely throughout my career! 🎙️🎮 Here's a sneak peak of a few I've gotten to work on!

Figured to give a mix of the work I've done earlier in my career.

I love voice over in gaming, I love the strong characters, the staunch fanbase, the awesome conventions and... the camraderie between voice actors. It's my favourite kind of voice work by far. Viva la Human Voices in gaming forever!!!

Just a few of my recent favourites, looking forward to adding even more~

What timing! While recovering from COVID (again) I finally got around to pulling together my fave lines from a few of my Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon NPCs! Thanks @casasplays.com & Northalix for the comprehensive gameplay. It was a joy watching y'all explore the world 🥰

🚨 Time for a Video Game Voice Actor Spotlight! 🚨 If you're an Australian or New Zealand Voice Talent working in the video game space, we want you to post some of your work in the comments so we can give them a share!

An official Aussie VO Dinner made its way over to Canberra tonight! The weather may have been frosty, but the company sure wasn’t! ❄️💚🎙️

My very 1st dubbing experience was back in 2017 for a cute YouTube animation series called Meowville Mysterious. It was self-directed; even with small parts it was challenging! My 1st anime dub was in 2021 for Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle. Cried my eyes out when I got that booking email! 💜

My first credit was self-directing a dub for a lead character in a feature film! Loved every second, and also would never self-direct ADR again :)

My first dubbing/ADR credit was actually the extra orc noises in Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - Season 1! Ever since then I've dubbed live action films, anime, animation, games and more:))

🎙️ TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL DUBBING DAY! 🎙️ Australian and New Zealand Voice Dubbers; we'd love to hear about your very first dubbing credit! Tell us what it was for, any funny or heart-warming stories associated with it and more! We'll give them a share! 💚

SAG-AFTRA Video Game Strike suspended at noon PT today. All SAG-AFTRA members are instructed to return to work on productions under the IMA, including work promoting or publicizing projects produced under the IMA. READ MORE: www.sagaftra.org/sag-aftra-vi...

I recently narrated the male roles in Glass & Grim by JA Welch. Alot of fun albeit a bit outside my usual wheelhouse. Quite a compelling read too though spicy at times 😅 also the 2nd book I got to narrate as a duet with @legendofella.bsky.social who's an awesome VA 😀 www.audible.com/pd/The-Last-...

June is an awesome month! Yes, of course, the EOFY sales are pretty great 📖🎧 But it's also Audiobook Appreciation Month! 🎧📖 We'd love to hear from Australian and NZ narrators in the comments spotlighting ONE of their favourite books that they've narrated and why! We'll be sure to repost them!

I won a Pendy Award for Best Supporting Actor for my work in the audio drama Genesis Avalon: Patriot! My first voice acting award, and for a project that meant so much to me - I was (and still am!) so chuffed 🥰

In my teens I worked a fast food place and would sometimes mess around (as kids do!) One day got to serve a customer in drive thru for funnies and put on a voice. At the Xmas party there'd be awards and I received one for "doing (not necessarily making) the greatest impression" Does this count? 😆

Me! I just won my first One Voice Award for Voiceover Artist of the Year 🥳

Today we'd love to share the work of Australian Voice Actors who've won AWARDS before! Maybe it was a One Voice Award? Perhaps a Voice Arts Award? An Audie Award? Or even an award bestowed on you by a client? Leave a comment about your win and we'll give it a repost so we can celebrate with you! 🏆

Voiceover Artist of the Year - Female 2025!!! I won my first One Voice Award and it’s a doozy 😆 I mean, I swear I won it. Can’t really see such pretty crystal against my loud outfit... 😅 👻🏆

👀 AUSTRALIAN VOICEOVER ARTISTS 👀 Did you see it? A link to the new 2025 MEAA Voiceover Industry Rate Card was sent out yesterday to MEAA members! 🙌 Effective come July 1st: Be sure to pour over it so that you'll be an expert quoter by the time it's implemented! www.meaa.org/download/voi...

Love audio dramas! I was so excited to be featured recently on Semi Intel by @rtigressprod.bsky.social , which has a whole bunch of incredibly talented Aussie voice actors working on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQAd...

Can I mention an actual play? I'm in @ishouldroll.bsky.social which is based in the world of Mass Effect. We have OCs in 2 campaigns (I'm in 'Dangerous Dangers' & some one shots). Cast is comprised of 13 voice actors -live since April '24! Also soon to be in some audio dramas but can't share yet :p

YAY! We love audio dramas! 🎉 Some amazing projects I’ve been lucky enough to work on: - The Road of Shadows @beyondthedark.bsky.social - Genesis Avalon: Patriot @pendantaudio.bsky.social - Eastwynne @wts2.bsky.social - Villain Mutants @villainmutants.bsky.social So many awesome shows out there!🙏🏻

So excited to share this awesome sci-fi/mystery #audiodrama where I voice front runner Rue Asfaw 🙌 Please check out "Lost/Thread" and listen on your preferred platform 🙌 linktr.ee/weyout It's such a joy to voice Rue in such an exciting story full of surprises. ✨

We've done a talent spotlight for Audio BOOKS before, but today we're going to do a talent spotlight for Audio DRAMAS! So many Aussie and NZ voice actors are *rocking* it in the Audio Drama space - so if that's you - be sure to post some of your work in the comments and we'll give them a share 🙌

Definitely, Aimee, Angela, Colin, and all those guys! But I would also add Keith Scott, Robyn Moore, Mary-Ann Henshaw, Taylor Owynns, Walter Grkovic, Shawn Cosgrove, Emma Smart, Andrew Jack, and too many more to list! 🇦🇺🇳🇿

I feel like ALL of them have been mentioned already but if they *haven't* I wanted to give a huge ding to Courtney Ede she's been working her ASS off and nailed her first ever audiobook (+ series! WHAT?!) Hamish & Aimee & Tom & Ange & Rhiannon & Dom in like - anything, ever. Versatility is crazy.

You are TOO kind! Second the big ups for Rhiannon - the Queen of Nothing was SUCH a delight to hear working. Spoilt for great voices playing Rogue Trader, but I _had_ to go with her character voice option.

We'd be remiss in not mentioning our very own @cosmovsgoku.bsky.social, who has not only hustled for himself to book work, but also for other members of our cast by helping them meet people and book work all over the world too. Our talented VOs from AU are spreading their wings

My first answer was gonna be @ninanikolic.com - and yes she is a perfect British granny. Or Aussie commercial voice!

@ollyraevoiceactor.bsky.social because he is a towering powerhouse of VA talent and loves early Simpsons and Futurama as much as I do! 😁

Oh my goodness, I could give 100s! 💐💐💐 But today I’ll reserve a special bunch for a special bunch - you amazing folks at @aussievo.net! @aimeesmithva.com @domdinh.com @Thomas G Burt @Angela Tran @darcymaguire.bsky.social Constant fonts of support & inspiration, thank you for all you do! 🙏🏻💚💐

@chavelliva.bsky.social - Chavelli is awesome and genuine and just damn impossible to dislike at all 😀 Deserves way more spotlight!
