Abe's Audio is an Australian audio production company founded in 1998 by Abe Udy. Based in Tasmania, the company works in audio production, voiceovers, commercials, branded audio, and spoken-word media.[1][2]
History
editAbe's Audio was founded in 1998 by Abe Udy, who started the business at the age of 18 after working in radio production at 5CC in South Australia.[1] The company began as a bedroom studio producing low-budget radio commercials before Udy moved to Tasmania, where the business later established a studio in Devonport and a head office in Launceston.[1]
According to The Mercury, Abe's Audio adopted remote working arrangements in the mid-2000s, allowing it to employ staff in multiple Australian locations before remote and hybrid work became more widespread.[1]
A 2024 profile in Mumbrella described the company as having grown to more than 20 staff and producing audio content for creative agencies, media companies, eLearning providers, video producers, animators and podcasters.[3]

The coverage described the offering as aimed at projects such as video content, e-learning material and large-scale deliverable production, while excluding some categories and uses from the AI voice model system.[5]
