They say Writers make the best Voice Actors. Those who make the transition almost certainly have a taste for punny word-play, a theatrical bent, are good with people and have a healthy business acumen to boot.
Colin Cassidy is one such creature – a Copywriter and Creative Director turned Pro-Voice.
Born in outback Australia to a Scottish Mother, Colin spoke with a Scottish accent for the first 5 years of his life, then – as a Creative in his late twenties – lived in the UK for over a decade, working as a Creative Director and British-accented Voice. He then returned to Sydney, where he now records in a myriad of accents, impressions and characters for clients worldwide.
After a twenty-year career in the media Colin’s experience and talent is only matched by his friendly, relational style, making him a pleasure to work with, direct and – like a good Vodka Martini – stir or even lovingly shake!
For professional, high quality voiceovers, cast Colin’s voice talents today.
I’ve worked with Colin for the past several months on an animated kids show and can vouch for his talent, versatility, and professionalism. His performances regularly had the room in stiches and he’s an absolute blast to direct. You’re in safe hands with Colin. I mean that. Because his hands could crush a would-be studio intruder into a smaller would-be studio intruder.
Colin Cassidy is a very talented dude.
I recently asked Colin to voice an ad that required someone to start reading in their normal voice, then gradually transition into a rampaging Scotsman storming a castle and lopping off heads of unsuspecting Englishmen with his broadsword. Not only did he nail it so amazingly well … he also threw in alternative takes where he suddenly come back to reality in his normal Australian voice at the end. It enhanced the ad and made it better that I envisaged in my head when I was writing it.
A voiceover guy with the brain of a writer is a very valuable combination for ad makers. I thoroughly recommend Colin for your next project.
An extremely talented and versatile voice artist – who is fun to work with.
Highly versatile and capable voice artist. Colin’s enthusiasm and proactive attitude makes working with him a breeze. Any time I see we have Colin booked in for a session, I can relax knowing that his ability to deliver what is required, makes my job easy, but also fun! Highly recommended!
Getting voice on an electronic toy to sound fun, engaging, entertaining but also clear and understandable can sometimes be quite a challenge. Working with Colin makes this very easy and also a lot of fun: I’ve found him to be highly creative, motivated and very entertaining – he’s fantastic at taking a rough idea explained by me and breathing life into it! He has a diverse range of voices, impressions and accents to offer, all of which are fantastic. On top of this and his professional and highly motivated approach to his work, he’s a thoroughly nice chap!
Colin is a quality voice. The reads he has done for our clients’ radio commercials have been of a very high standard. He “gets” the script, his interpretation is spot on & his presentation is expressive & genuine.I can highly recommend Colin for any straight or character voice you may need.
When looking for a new station voice for Vision Radio I listened to a huge number of demos, but kept coming back to Colin Cassidy. The warm tones of his voice, and his genuine delivery have helped take our station sound a big step forward in professionalism. Not to mention his fantastic versatility with character voices and accents etc, and the fact that Coin is a super nice guy and a pleasure to work with!
I would love to recommend Colin for your next voice job, but I won’t… You can’t have him… he’s all mine!
