KELLYMONISSE
On Voice
Hi There!
I'm Kelly Monisse, your go-to gal for commercial VO and audio narration.
I love telling stories,
I've even got a few of my own...
As a kid, my voice fought to be heard over my three sisters from the backseat of a Tarago on long family road-trips.
As a teenager, I got my kicks performing school-yard stand-up based on my overbearing- oops!-caring, Serbian mother's neuroticism.
The material pretty much wrote itself.
In my twenties, I was a Flight Attendant for Qatar Airways,
a Tour Guide,
a Burlesque Teacher...
I even lent my voice to the deaf community working for the NRS...
Fun fact: I was almost fired for making a lovers quarrel sound TOO realistic!
These days, I tell jokes to sick kids in hospital.
I talk to my dog like she's a human child.
I spend hours on the phone to my sisters, chewing the fat, taking the piss... being their biggest cheerleader.
I sing made up songs narrating my boyfriends domestic habits -
He hates it!
And between all that, I love using my voice to bring your biggest ideas to life. I've put a few of my past fave's together for you,

Michelle Pfeiffer made my dad cry.
When it comes to feelings my dad was typical of his generation.
He joined the RAAF at 16 and while he was a loving father,
Dad didn't really do 'feelings'.
I've seen him cry three times in my life.
At a funeral;
When the dog died;
And watching Michelle Pfeiffer yell at Sean Penn in I am Sam.
I was 12 at the time, and I thought to myself... I want to do that!
Not specifically make my father cry,
although when I told him I wanted to be an actor, he was close!
I wanted my words to have impact - to make people feel.
I wanted to inspire people to show the parts of themselves they kept hidden. I wanted to make strong men weep and timid women rage
and invisible people feel seen. I still want these things.
Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
That's why I want to tell stories...
