KRISTIAN SCHMID
WAAPA GRADUATE
NOMINATED FOR VARIOUS THEATRE AWARDS - ADELAIDE THEATRE CHOICE AWARD
PRESENTER FOR "GOING LIVE" - BBC1 (UK)
FIRST SERIES GUEST PRESENTER ON TOP GEAR
A young archaeologist grabs your hand and you descend quickly into the darkness of a concealed corridor.
Don’t worry he says I’ve been here before and I know where we’re going.
That guiding hand, that enthusiasm for destinations unknown and that youthful intelligence well beyond his years, belongs to Kristian Schmid.
Kristian, is no Indiana Jones in real life, but he still offers a safe course thru unchartered vocal territory. To the director and to listener his voice sounds like he is totally prepared. Think of it this way – he’s gone ahead of everyone else and read, researched and understood what’s required of the project. Vocal talent that is confident in the task makes everyone comfortable in the recording studio.
But all this talk of ‘vocal smarts’ shouldn’t make you think Kristian is not a know-it- all- library nerd. The measure of his ability should be heard in kilowatts of passion. He knows his stuff, whatever the subject and is willing to share it with a cool youth crowd, eager young couples, re-invented older tech heads or enthusiasts of any category who look for one of their own to talk their language with the same powerful cubic tonnage they have.
To put your script in motion, to really make it move, put Kristian in the driver’s seat.
His voice brings a forward motion of pace that carries every listener with it.
A well known actor to the Australian audience, Kristian has been a regular on our screens since 1985 with his first major role on Neighbours. Since then, he’s done Sea Patrol (2007) and Packed to the Rafters (2011). Kristian has also worked extensively over in the UK, making several appearances on TV shows and theatrical stage plays. He’s currently performing in a guest role on Channel 7’s Home and Away.

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.
