FAQs About Our Australian Voice Overs

What is the Australian English language code?

The language code for Australian English is “en-AU.” In this code, “en” represents English, and “AU” indicates Australia as the specific regional variant of English. Language codes are often used to specify language preferences or variations in software applications, websites, and other digital platforms.

Is there an Australian English accent?

Yes, there is an Australian English accent, which is distinct from other English accents such as British English and American English. The Australian accent is characterized by its intonation, rhythm, and pronunciation of certain vowel sounds, which are different from those of other English accents.

One of the key features of the Australian accent is the use of a rising inflection at the end of statements, which makes sentences sound like questions. This is known as the “Australian Question Intonation,” and it is a key feature of the accent. Other features of the accent include the pronunciation of the “a” sound, which is often pronounced as “eh,” and the pronunciation of the “i” sound, which is often pronounced as “oi.”

It’s worth noting that the Australian accent can vary depending on the region, with some areas having more distinct features than others. 

How do I choose a voice talent for my Australian project?

Choosing a voice talent for your Australian project can be a crucial step in ensuring that it’s well-received by your target audience. Here are some tips:

Consider the accent: Make sure that the voice talent you choose has a natural Australian accent. Listen to their voice samples to ensure that their accent is authentic and fits your project’s needs.

Check the tone and style: Consider the tone and style of your project and look for a voice talent that can match it. For example, if your project is professional, you may want to choose a voice talent with a more serious tone. If your project is lighthearted or humorous, you may want to choose a voice talent with a more playful tone.

Look for experience: Choose a voice talent with experience in similar projects to yours. This will help ensure that they have the skills and expertise needed to deliver a high-quality performance.

Listen to demos: Listen to voice samples from multiple voice talents to get a sense of their style, tone, and range. This will help you make an informed decision about which talent is the best fit for your project.

Consider the budget: Determine your budget and look for a voice talent that fits within it. Keep in mind that the cost of the talent may vary based on their experience, skill level, and the length and complexity of your project.

By following these tips, you can choose an English-speaking voice talent that will help bring your Australian English project to life and effectively communicate your message to your target audience.

About Australian English

Australian English is a unique dialect of the English language with its own slang, pronunciation, and grammar rules. Although it is similar to British English in many ways, there are also some significant differences.

Australian English is generally considered to be more relaxed and informal than British English. This is reflected in the way that words are pronounced and in the use of slang. Australian English also has a unique vocabulary, with some words and phrases that are not used in other varieties of English.

The first recorded instance of Australian English was in 1788, when Captain Arthur Phillip arrived in Sydney with the First Fleet. Since then, the dialect has continued to evolve and develop, incorporating elements from other dialects such as Irish, Scottish, and American English.

The Aboriginal languages of Australia have also had a significant influence on the development of Australian English. One of the most notable examples is the word “kangaroo”, which is derived from the Dharug language. Other words that have been influenced by Aboriginal languages include “boomerang” and “walkabout”. The Aboriginal influence on Australian English is an important part of linguistic history.

Today, Australian English is a vibrant and rich dialect that is spoken by millions of people around the world.
