Sounding Human Is Kind of My Thing.
Australian Voiceover in Action:
Meet Sumara
When I was 10, I performed The Skipping-Rope Hornpipe at school, complete with a floral op-shop dress, floppy hat, and two pillows for comedic flair. I sang, skipped, and even paused mid-performance to eat a Mars Bar; my first big laugh from an audience, and honestly, still a career highlight. That’s when I realized the magic of storytelling: it connects, moves, and delights.
Since then, I’ve trained extensively in acting, voice and voiceover, performed on stage and screen, and brought hundreds of scripts to life in front of a microphone. Today, as a voice actor from my home studio, I provide character-rich, emotionally nuanced voiceovers for animation studios, audiobook publishers, global brands, and businesses worldwide.
My voiceover secret sauce? Genuine Aussie warmth, emotional authenticity, playful improvisation, and the knack for characters that connect with the listener. If your script needs heart, humour, and humanity… I’m your voice.
Stage-Trained. Screen-Ready.
Before microphones and studio walls, Sumara was at home on stage, belting out songs, slipping into Shakespeare, or bringing original characters to life in front of a live audience. Her acting roots run deep, from early theatre training with Maxwell and Vayne to modern-day performances on screen and at community festivals.
Today, that same theatrical energy feeds her voice work—and continues to drive her passion for live performance and film.
Whether in the booth or on set, Sumara brings emotional depth, physical intuition, and spark to every role.
What Clients Say
Real words from people I’ve had the joy of working with:
“Sumara was a life saver! Her timely work turn around and professionalism is second to none. Despite the tight deadline, she managed to get us the VO for a video we worked on within three days. Sumara will always be one of our go-to people for everything VO related.”
— Ali Okailey, Sanctuary Labs
“Holy holy holy…I am gobsmacked and like a child!! You read that so brilliantly. I could feel your wish for it…like me…like so many of us. Goosebumps…total goosebumps. It’s like you are in my soul.”
— Asta Lander, Artist & Poet
“Sumara is my ‘go-to’ artist for most of my technical pharmaceutical elearning modules. She easily wraps her tongue around complicated medical terminology and delivers a smooth, calming and professional voice over. A fast turnaround means that projects are delivered on time. I couldn’t do without her.”
— Carol North, Yes eLearning
