Mark’s natural urban professional delivery is ideal for corporate video, on hold messaging, e-learning, documentary, narration and retail reads.
Marion Just

Marion’s voiceover clients are as many and varied as her voiceover styles, encompassing everyone from advertising agencies and marketing companies to television and radio networks, to on-hold and interactive voice response suppliers. Marion’s voiceovers cover everything from an excited, up-tempo delivery to Australian urban professional that’s sophisticated, sexy and elegant… think high-end retail… airlines, automotive, fashion, fragrances.

A Shout Out To Our Frontline Workers
TRACK RECORD
BlackBox does for audio voiceovers what Uber has done for taxis. Innovative, better and more value.Adam Wells
Mark is the consummate professional; that was evident by the way he easily guided me along the process of producing our radio ad. His vast experience in this industry gave us an ad that was amazing, he seemed to relish the chance to unleash his fun, creative style.
Excellent job, well done.Colin Murdoch
We recently finished recording a five minute interview with Mark as the interviewer. Professional and smooth. We had a lot of fun working with BlackBox. This is the third time we have worked with the “cool” yet reliable Mark and Marion.
As a law firm, we are not voiceover artists but we really appreciated the expert and calming advice from Mark to achieve the result we were looking for both in our presentation and the prompting questions from Mark. Also where our script was lacking, they were able to advise and edit to make it work.
The BlackBox space itself is inspiring and conducive to a fun and creative time, as was the post recording discussion with war stories from Mark and Marion’s lifelong involvement in commerce, radio and advertising.Daniel Geleris
Mark provided a voice over service that we used in a web site for a broad range of retail products. The result was excellent, and it substantially lifted the professional presentation of our products. Mark also delivered a highly professional set of on-hold and background material that was gleaned from our marketing material – again with excellent results.Gary Aitchison
Mark had a big job to keep us all entertained and he delivered on cue, in style and non-stop. Mark is an accomplished emcee and entertainer. His engaging personality and rapid fire wit kept the packed evening moving along at a fast pace. There was a lot to get through and Mark handled the pressure with ease, keeping to the tight schedule. Mark is friendly, intelligent and charming and most of all, he is customer focussed.
I highly recommend Mark to host your next corporate function.Andrew Reitzer
I’ve hired Mark and Marion for voiceovers on numerous occasions and their work always exceeds expectations. They always go one step further in providing a professional service on time.
I recommend this team for any voiceover job requiring a professional sound.Phil Baildon
I have known Mark for over six years and found him to be one of the most gifted helpful and professional people in the Radio Industry. I have seen him work in many contexts from producer and talk show host at 2UE and fundraiser at Northside Radio. He is incredibly helpful and good under pressure. He knows the Radio Industry backwards and I have learned a lot from him. Mark is also that rare creature in this day and age, a very decent human being.
I would recommend him to anyone.Tony King
Mark is an excellent voiceover artist. He also presents well for videos and is a great interviewer of expert talent.Jackie Crossman
