Australian Audiobook Narrators

There were a lot more Australian voice actors then we had originally thought. Like most of the narrators, they cover a wide variety of genres. Interestingly, though, there were a lot of Australian narrators that read Australian stories about Australian events. Since the land down under is large and pretty wild, there are some really good local stories to be had.

Like all of our lists, the narrators are not in any order. All images are original AI images of Australian landscapes made by NightCafe Creator AI.

Viv Ramos del Castillo

My name is Viv, and storytelling comes naturally to me. Whether I'm writing about distant lands or everyday life, I love capturing moments that make the heart swell or the mind ponder. I've always had a vivid imagination, and as a child I'd make up stories to tell my cat while I sipped my afternoon earl grey tea. As I grew older my tales found their way onto the pages of journals and eventually, into the hands of readers. There are no rules when it comes to my writing. I simply follow my curiosities, writing about whatever catches my eye - be it a colorful leaf floating by or an interesting conversation overheard. My stories wander freely without concern for genre or trendiness.
