TONY BELLETTE
QLD GOLDIE AWARD FOR BEST COMMERCIAL VOICE
Under the shade of a broad-brimmed hat and through the glare of a sunburnt smile Tony Bellette’s voice speaks with compassion and friendliness. It’s an approachable voice. Ready for a chat on a verandah anywhere at anytime of the day. His voice honours servicemen and understands the hours of thankless nights by our SES, Ambos and the Red Cross. He could easily be one. Imagine him for a moment turning to the camera with a backdrop of devastation to remind us that the work is tough and his mates are a bit tired but they’re getting through it. Let him explain the stock routes of Queensland, the pastoral areas of New South Wales – he is the coach captain on your journey around the country. Old stories and even older jokes are included for free. Tony is full of grandfatherly advice. The bedtime tales he tells to wide-eyed children are his own. In his younger years he fought every dragon and wooed every maiden, built the castle, dug the moat, brewed the mead. Despite his years, his boyish love of voices and performance makes the end result a joy to watch and listen to an old pro. Salty as a fishing boat’s deck after a weekend catch, once the voice is done, stick around, Tony’s got a funny story.
* A footnote here for Animation producers, just know that Tony can play the voice of every character you can possibly dream up.
Testimonials
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.
