Rupert Degas Working Globally
“Rupert may be on the other side of the globe but he always makes it feel like we’re sitting in the same studio. And for folks in the US, working with Rupert is fast – because while you are sleeping or drinking too many beers, Rupert is hard at work recording your awesome VO.”

Rupert is an international voice actor who works extensively in the UK, North America, and the Asia Pacific regions. With more than 25 years industry experience, Rupert is known for his premium quality and quick turnaround. An exceptionally versatile talent, Rupert currently has representation in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and North America.
Approach
Rupert is known in the industry for his adaptable and collaborative approach to his work, and seeks to make everyone’s job as easy as possible. From supporting creative directors to test different approaches in order to nail a particular accent or character, to ensuring the sound engineer has clean files and does not need to spend hours editing and de-breathing, Rupert is that rare blend of highly creative and technical in the studio.
Working Remotely
While Rupert travels extensively, you also have the option of working with him remotely from his studio in Sydney. Rupert can link up to any studio worldwide via Source Connect Pro, or you can video conference and file share.
He regularly works remotely on campaigns for the major English speaking markets of the US, UK and Australia, and has earned a reputation for his quality, quick turnarounds, and delivering multiple options. One noteworthy remote project involved working with the production team for Cartoon Network, based in Hong Kong. Rupert voiced hundreds of promos, recording every script twice – in an Australian accent for the Australian market, and an American accent for the Asian market.

“A talent as big as Rupert’s refuses to be confined by mere geographical limitations. Always available, sometimes late into the night to accommodate time zones, we work with Rupert via Skype and, even though he’s on the other side of the planet, it’s just like having him in the studio. Rupert uploads the audio files to Dropbox during the session so everything is available for download immediately. Also, if you need an opinion on the current state of Australian politics or want to know what the Sydney weather is like – Rupert’s your man!”

“I have worked remotely with Rupert on the last three campaigns for one of our biggest global clients at JWT London. What a find! Thank you Yakety Yak! I give him a brief on the evening train home and wake up to a multitude of quality and diverse reads sitting in Dropbox! As well as completely nailing a brief on paper, Rupert can do many different voices, ages and accents. The efficiencies in time and money I get from his versatility, availability and self-sufficiency have been an absolute godsend.”
