I guess I should have known voice acting was my destiny.

I was 5 when I was cast as “the kangaroo with a solo” in our Australia Day kindergarten production. That may not seem unusual, except that I had just enrolled the week before.

Allain’s career is as diverse as it is rich, with over 20 years’ experience as a voice actor, broadcaster, presenter, entrepreneur & communications consultant.

From Allain

I'm a Voice Actor and all over nice guy (except, don't touch my fries...)

I'm the type of person you would take home to meet your parents – then ask to leave because your parents are getting on so well with him, they wish they could adopt…

I LOVE Affogatos (Only cos of an addiction to ice cream!), and 'Breaking Things' to try and make them better.
