“Having worked with Julie on a number of productions, I have come to greatly appreciate her talent, versatility, and dedication to her craft. She is a delight to work with and makes exceptional contributions on all levels of the production and performance process. I recommend her, without reservation, to anyone looking for a talented actress, voice-over artist or compere.”
— Adam Miller - Director and Producer, ‘Wagner in Paris’ Melbourne Recital Centre November 2016
“ Julie Houghton is gifted with a rare voice which she can turn to journalistic broadcast, Master of Ceremonies, narration and theatrical use. At The Parlour, we have employed her in all these capacities. She recently starred in our production “Wagner in Paris” and her portrayal of Natalie Planer drove the drama and won critical acclaim. ”
— Karen Van Spall - Director
“I engaged Julie Houghton multiple times as the compere for Opera in the Park for the City of Stonnington when I was the Artistic Director. Julie was a real asset to the evening she was able to adapt on the spot where necessary and work exceptionally well as the conduit between the opera and the audience. She not only explained what the audience was about to hear but also gave it some context and was able to personalise it for the sometimes 5000 people there to experience the opera. It was a pleasure to be able to engage Julie and then to know that the job was in safe, flexible and reliable hands. She was also a very welcome sight with cold ice creams for all of us during the very hot rehearsals in January.”
— Cameron Menzies - Stage Director / Artistic Director, Opera in the Park 2009 - 2014.
“Julie is an absolute delight to work with. Polished and professional go without saying; she is also intuitive and adaptable, and has a keen eye for detail. My only hesitation in recommending her would be the danger of her being snapped up by someone else!”
— Elaine Carter - Audio Producer, Vision Australia
“‘I have had the honour of being interviewed by Julie on several occasions over the years, and she is the consummate professional - her beautiful voice, warm personality and charm radiate right through the microphone to the listeners, and she always gets the best out of everyone she interviews.
I just wish everyone on radio has her superb diction, tone and articulation’!”
