GIL TUCKER
NIDA GRADUATE
40+ YEARS EXPERIENCE IN FILM, THEATRE, TELEVISION, AND VOICE OVERS
A few years back Gil Tucker was everywhere on Aussie TV and film. He played many a good-natured young police officer (who could forget Constable Roy Baker in “Cop Shop”?) living life by the rule book when everyone around him was older, tougher or had an eye-catching cleavage. Back then they’d call him straight. Possibly too much. But that’s what got the laughs. His acting skills have taken him from a little film called “Mad Max” to the modern street smarts of “City Homicide”. So, when you think about it people like Gil are rare. He holds an all too underrated position of seeing both the “olden days” of our film industry and being a part of it’s future success. Today, Gil’s voice is still straight with you. Honest. A little bewildered at these modern times but willing to help, to explain, to set the course for the family holiday. Speaking of families, I’d reckon should any niece or nephew need sorting out, Gil would be there for a quick chat. They’d be right after that. Gil is the sort of fella who runs the last of the family corner stores. Knows every product, every packet and knows where it goes. He wraps and takes it out to the car for you…….unfortunately, some bastard was robbing the register while he was out. I could imagine him popping up behind counters around the country explaining or rebuilding TV and wireless sets. When everything seems lost, Gil would have the part for it. He’s a publican. He’s a market stall vendor. He’s a farmer. He’s a cheery roadside car service mechanic coming to your rescue at two in the morning. And that’s what any product he voices has too. Aussie dependability and honest service. Sure, there are voices that come dressed in a tailored suit, all buttoned-down corporate finery. But it’s nice to know, Gil is one of us. He’s just as confused with the world as we are. I’d have him in the car holding the map and giving directions to the beach any day.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say how fabulous Peter was to work with! He was brilliant! Good to know he’s available to do both Australian and NZ voices, we’ll definitely keep him in mind for future jobs.
Working with Scout Voice Management was so easy and professional. We knew we wanted to use Aaron Cartwright – his voice is like rich melted chocolate and he is so amiable and amenable. From the initial inquiry to the actual recording was only a few days. We got exactly what we wanted and have the showreel for our website that we’d hoped for. Thanks to all involved.
What a breeze to work with someone as professional and experienced as Robert Lee — fast and fun, too! He comes prepared so time is spent efficiently, to get just what you need. A pleasure.
We are pleased with the result and I really enjoyed being patched in to the studio for the recording. Nathan Page’s voice is the perfect tone and has the gravitas we needed for the intended audience and Matt from Sonic Playground, was so helpful and thorough throughout the recording, and in all our requests for follow-up editing. They are both very talented and it was a pleasure working with them and getting an understanding of their craft.
Marc James Dwyer’s voice is relatable and authentic and he’s got the craft to control it beautifully.
He’s a dead set legend to record with, interprets scripts and takes direction well, and is always dedicated to fulfilling the trickiest of client briefs with absolute class and confidence.
Felicity, I can’t speak highly enough of not only your incredible skill and nuanced performance, but also of the weight and resonance you brought into the reading yesterday. Your narration provided a gravitas and beauty that I was thankful for in every scene, let alone your vibrant warmth that brought enthusiasm to every individual in the room.
What a gift you have, to welcome people in to storied experiences through your voice, empathy, delivery and choice of nuance – it was such a great pleasure just to witness you in action, and I’m so thankful for the impact you’ve now had on this project in this role. As you read yesterday, I thought to myself ‘why can’t Felicity create every audiobook I’d ever want to read?? This is the voice we all need!’. I hope we’re able to work together many a time over, and it was such a pleasure to meet you.
