Gary Newton

Radio Announcer/Voiceovers

(A recent holiday snap of Gary, taken at Eildon)

 

Born in Melbourne, November 1952.

Grew up in Surrey Hills (Essex Road) and attended CHS from 1969 to 1970. (Yes, just two short years but what great years they were)

Had a burning ambition from the age of 15 to be a Radio Announcer (despite more people telling me that someone who had a disability like mine - Polio - could not make it in that field), so during my time at CHS, I also attended Lee Murray's Radio School in Exhibition Street, Melbourne, two nights a week.

On achieving my Leaving Standard, I promptly got a job as a DJ in March, 1971, way out of town (5RM, Berri, SA), and I worked for the next 12 months on getting back to Melbourne, where I started at 3KZ (the station with the 'million dollar sound' and 'the most happy fellas'........Remember? You're older than you look!)

Since then, I have worked 'on-air' at a number of stations, including 7HT (Hobart), 3MP, GoldFM (Melbourne) and 3GL (Geelong).

These days, I run my own Audio Services business in Geelong, providing a large number of businesses around Australia with Telephone Messages On Hold, Corporate Narrations, Internet Audio and voiceovers for TV and radio.

I am currently the (eee-easy!) 'voice' for Clive Peeters Superstores in Victoria and Queensland.

If you need a voiceover or a message on hold................give me a call! Phone: 0409 239773
