KATE BLAKK
NIDA & W.A.A.P.A GRADUATE
MASTERS IN JOURNALISM
DIGITAL INFLUENCER
You’ll be pleased to know Kate Blakk isn’t planning to get really, really good at voice-overs. She’s great as she is. Because to be really really good, there’s also a danger of being really really disconnected from the people you’re talking to. Her singing, her acting, her dancing, her comedy, basically all the stuff she has done far away from the studio microphone, makes her sound untouched and therefore unaffected by the so-called rules of what a polished voice-over should sound like – but we’re talking voice acting. Of course she can be cool and glam for the latest leather-upholstered car or mouth-melting chocolate, but Kate really shines when you need a ‘normal’ person, not an announcer. A staff member to talk about the product. The suburban endorsement. The station-wagon mum. The shopping centre vox pop. The successful trial lab assistant. The “ I didn’t believe it but now I do” person. Give Kate a story. Give her a series of rambling thoughts filled with mistakes, ums , ahhs and dunnos’ . Give her pauses and gaps that will bring to the surface her natural talent. Give her a chance to be just as inarticulate as the rest of us, she’s no dummy – she’s always happy to give you her opinion and front the microphone with honest energy and genuine charisma. Writers and casting directors will be wrapped Kate has arrived on the voice-over scene. She’s a true and welcome alternative.

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.
