New Zealand voice actors are fondly referred to as ‘Kiwi’s' and are preferred for a multitude of voice over projects. And that's where we, the voice-over agency come in.
Like Australia, the original population of New Zealand were aboriginal (Maori) but now most of the population are descendants of European immigrants, primarily from the UK and Ireland.
Thus New Zealand culture is heavily influenced by European culture and New Zealanders closely identify with British values.
The New Zealand English accent dominates in New Zealand and is one of the newest English dialects. And thus we have New Zealand Voice Actors, popular and sought after.

Not all New Zealanders have the exact same accent. The British Received Pronunciation (RP) dialect has had an influence too, depending on the locale and education level of the speaker.
There are some fantastic New Zealandisms including: ‘heaps’ to describe an abundance of something; ‘puckerood’ (from a Maori word) to describe something that’s broken; and ‘she’ll be fine’ to say, ‘it’ll be alright’.
There is an abundance of other such colourful idioms, making New Zealanders stand out from other English dialects to the keener ear. Most people outside the region can’t differentiate it from the Aussie accent though. Using their naturally unique lingo can add some spice to your voice-over project!

Anna Paquin played ‘Sookie Stackhouse’ in TV Drama Series True Blood and is a native New Zealander:
