Appreciate it, Rob!

I'm on vocal rest for 3 days after a busy week!

So it seems like a good time to share some new voice work?

I narrated 'Living with PeaNette' out now on Audible; it was a cool challenge creating a fun voice suiting her personality, but still being easy-listening!

Thanks @alecshea.com for editing!

You did a fab job!!! That’s so heartwarming to hear it was a bucket list item, no doubt there will be many more panels in your future! 😄

The AVO Group was born in 2019 when a handful of Aussie character voice actors (Me, Dom, Angela, Tom & Darcy) reflected on how we didn't really have a community & that it would've made such an impact in our own VO journeys if we'd had one.

Cut to 2025: I'm so proud of what we built together ❤️🎙️

We had our 6th AVO Dinna-versary over the weekend! 🥹🎙️

It was our largest meetup yet with over 50 amazing voice actors coming along!

We had VOs come from all parts of Australia, some friends came over from New Zealand, and even one of our favourite Aussies ventured from as far as the UK! 🌏

And that concludes a very vocal PAX Aus! ❤️🎙️

What had you cackling the most at this year’s ‘Who’s Speaking Please’ panel?

What takeaways did you learn from the ‘Sorry, You Peaked’ presentation?

Well done to all the amazing voice actors that took part this year and to everyone who came along!

THE BUBSY 4D DEMO UNEXPECTEDLY DROPPED TODAY!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I looooved voicing both Terri and Terry - the way in which I can relate so hard to both of their personalities despite how different they are makes me laugh 🤣

I love a little jig, but I also like to let out a little sass 🤭

Try the demo on Steam!

A compliment on my makeup from the barista which gave me a pep in my step & validated my new expensive hobby which I started to regret before today? Check ✅

Only a few other inconsequential things to do… like packing 🤪

SEE YOU SOON 👋❤️

Will you be at SXSW Sydney?

If you’re new to voice acting, I’ll be premiering my Round 3: Mock Video Game Voice Acting Auditions Panel and I’d love for you to come along! ❤️

I love the fact that my Mock Auditions panels have been some people’s first ⚡️ SPARK ⚡️ moment

Maybe it could be yours next? 😉
