  • "That's a good idea, let's get it on the air!" - Simon Kennedy
    2025/04/30

    Simon Kennedy is a voice artist, comedian, keynote speaker and author based in Sydney.

    After starting as an announcer, he had a very unique position, writing comedy imaging.

    These days, you'll hear Simon on promos for ABC-TV throughout Australia.

    He's also the President of the Australian Association of Voice Actors (AAVA).

    Now we didn't touch on this in our chat, but Simon wrote a book in 2014 about an atrocity that shook the all world, but took someone precious from him.

    It's a story about his road from an awful place.

    It's called 9/11 and the Art of Happiness and I can't recommend it highly enough.
