Australian English Voice Over Artists

A Brief Background of the Australian English Language

Australian English is the most common dialect spoken within Australia.

While the Australian Constitution does not legally recognize English as a language for the country, it is the country's go-to dialect for all native residents.

When British settlers founded a colony in New South Wales, in the late 18^th century, they brought the English language with them.

This dialect was inevitably blended with the native tongue spoken throughout the outback, and a new version of Australian English was created.

Though Australian English stems from British English, there are differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, accent, grammar, and register.

Within Australia, the English that is spoken is standard throughout the country, with only some small differences within the various regions.

For example, pronunciation in South Australia of certain words may be slightly different from the pronunciation in Queensland or New South Wales.

Businesses in need of voice talents using Australian English will find that Voice Crafters’ voice actors know the difference between the forest or the bush, and when to say g'day instead of good morning.
