One amazing thing about voice actors is that they are a lot like flavors. Just as in a cake, cinnamon would be welcome but in a stew requiring garlic, it would be a disaster; so it is with different voices. Each one is so delicious in the right "recipe" and that we work hard to find just the voice/inflection/accent to produce a culinary...no, auditory masterpiece.

How we met them: |
When we needed an Aussie voice for Seven Little Australians, Roy Yokelson (Antland Productions) knew just who to get. At first we weren't sure if the narrator of this book should be a male or female voice, but after hearing Drew, there was no further question. We firmly believe that Drew could read to us from the phone book and we would be completely mesmerized by his voice. In addition to his enchanting accent, Drew brings out the character of these "naughty Australian children" and makes us fall in love with each of them. |

Fun Facts about them: |
If Drew's smooth, savory voice were a flavor, it would definitely be Guiness -- well poured. How appropriate, since everything about Drew shouts "Australia." But then, he was born in Newcastle, NSW and grew up on Merewether Beach -- and has only been in NY for just over 22 years. For the past 16 years, Drew has emceed an annual charity event in NY called "A Taste of DownUnder" for the MDA -- check it out and join him in celebrating his love for everything Australian...including Vegemite! |

What they have to say: |
"I love being part of bringing some classic old-time Australian culture to the world. Hopefully the listeners will have a good laugh (and cry) at these wonderfully animated characters. It certainly is fun to read such an authentic Aussie yarn." ~Drew |
