Commercial Voice Over
National radio, TVC, in-store and digital pre-roll. Energetic, warm, authoritative — whatever the brand asks of the voice.
Step away from the factory-line studios. At YES AUDIO, every session is run one-on-one by Jeff Watkinson — four decades of broadcast experience, a famously warm room in Caulfield South, and the passion to find the take you didn't know was possible.
YES AUDIO isn't a chain. It's a single, warm, hand-tuned booth in Caulfield South — wool-clad walls, a pristine signal chain, and enough room for the artist, the script, and a cup of coffee.
You won't be passed down a corridor of junior engineers. You work with Jeff directly, from the first take to the final master. That's the whole point.
Coaching for the perfect take — not the first one.
Sennheiser 416. Nuendo 15. Sessions recorded at 192 kHz / 24-bit.
Comfortable booth, dialled-in chair, fresh coffee on arrival.
Mixed, mastered, and to-spec WAV/MP3 by EOD.
"Where sound becomes feeling."

Jeff Watkinson
Engineer · Director
Jeff has spent four decades behind the desk — recording radio commercials that ran nationally, and corporate narration for Telstra, NAB, the University of Melbourne, Victoria Police and dozens more.
He's the rare kind of engineer who can hear a half-eaten word a mile off, calmly redirect a tired voice, and still master your file before you're back at your desk.
Bring him a script. He'll bring it to life.
