Rhona Rees and Her Many Hats

Beyond the Mic

How did you get started in voice? I was a child actor in Australia. I’m not from a showbiz family but I basically begged my mother to let me audition! I starred in a number of TV series on camera and had worked on-mic doing ADR. At age 11 the studios/casting were really just looking […]

Bill Courage: Reeeeecolaaaaa!

Beyond the Mic

Reeeeecolaaaaa! Recall that commercial? That was my first national spot a thousand years ago. I was still in radio at the time blending hosting a show with a freelance voice career. It’s been all voice all the time for years now. There’s been some fun material; the Happy Water tv campaign was funny, Cariboo Beer […]

Michael Daingerfield: Comedy, Music and More

Beyond the Mic

When did you get started. First spot etc. My first voice-over job was as the voice of Ace Ventura on the animated series – was a really big deal for me that launched my whole voice-over career.  My first commercial spot was for Bell where I played a character named Howie Dribblemayer – very fun spot […]

Jason Simpson: The Man with the Bullhorn

Beyond the Mic

When did you get started?  I got my start in voiceover back in the year 2000; my agent asked me if I did voiceover work, of course I said “Absolutely!” That was a lie, I had done no such voicing over of anything in my life. So, I jumped into it and I loved every […]

Colin Murdock: Talking Silly For A Living

Beyond the Mic

Colin grew up on a 3000 acre ranch in the interior of BC, looking for cows in the marsh and trying to trap squirrels. His own funny voices, sadly, were his only company. But really, he owes his entire career to a guy named Larry Biddlecombe who helped him discover the value of these same voices. Larry was […]

Matt Ellis: Active Guy with an Active Voice

Beyond the Mic

When did you get started? I’ve been working in film/tv and theatre since the early 00’s but I was a little later on the VO front…I didn’t start doing VO work until 2009. The first job I ever did was actually at Wave! It was a demo recording for 7-11, which I guess doesn’t really […]

Elysia Rotaru: A Voice from Wonderland

Beyond the Mic

When did you get started? I first got started in 2011 with a radio spot for T-booth Wireless Personal Interests? Beekeeping, the outdoors, travelling, beaches driving, good people, good music, good food and a good glass of wine or beer:) Fave spot or session? My fave spot at the moment is something I recorded last […]

Brian Dobson: A man of many voices, and brothers.

Beyond the Mic

When did you get started?  First spot etc. – Hmmm… that was many moons ago but I recall it being a Lotto spot. It was a really fast paced character read. I was terrified! Other professional endeavours? – Currently working as the voice for Global Television news media nationally. Lots of voice work for animation in TV and film on […]

Sarah Johns

Beyond the Mic

I did my first v/o job about 10 years ago?? One of the first spots I did was for Totes at Wave. “The new Brella from Totes”. I’m pretty sure sales went through the roof. I love music, movies/docs, reading (I’m in a book club!), Bikram yoga, and trying to keep plants alive in my […]

Ian James Corlett

Beyond the Mic

May, 2015 EARLY DAYS: I started in voiceover when I was making student films as a young teen. Because a lot of my early films were animated, I would voice my own productions. In 1984 I began to notice that there was a “core” group of voice actors doing a lot of commercials in Vancouver. […]
