It’s been a cracking start to 2019 for the newest addition to BrisVO, Teresa Lim. This bilingual pun-loving Brissie mum of 3 cheeky monkeys lives in the Centenary suburbs, and is seen and heard on work all over Australia and around the world.
She’s a busy girl!
Coming into her 3rd year as the network voice for Cartoon Network and Boomerang TV, she’s been voicing fun new promos for My Little Pony, Powerpuff Girls and BFF’s (how’s that for a tongue twister?!)
She’s also just finished voicing in Mandarin a children’s education toy being produced from New York, as well as the TV spot featured here for Brown Brother’s.
And if that’s not enough, Teresa is currently featured acting in 6 national TVCs including Cadbury Masterchef, Vodafone, Samsung, Fraser’s Property and has just finished shooting the new global campaign for Jacob’s Creek Wines.
She’s a hard lady to keep up with. But if you’d like to keep pace with Teresa, hook up on insta @teresalimstudios where she blogs her work journey, mostly in story and even more, in pun!
TALENT: Thomas Larkin
Thomas Larkin is new to BrisVO but certainly not new to the world of professional voice over work. Over the years, he’s put in a lot of hard work. And it seems the harder he works, the luckier he gets. In fact, Tom recently won this job for Tatts Lotto.
You’d be lucky too if you got Tom reading your next script.

Most recently the respected actor has been working on the new Tam Sainsury directed series, Time and Place, co-staring Tracy Mann, Lara Cox, Conrad Colby, Bree Desbourgh, Jeff Gannon and Lee Carseldine.
In between scenes Lisa has voiced the Bristish pilot Amy Johnson, for Living Wine Labels, and recently completed a 4-part documentary called A Royal Tour of the 20th Century which is coming soon.
Lisa’s having the time of her life.

And just to keep her super busy Andrea is also acting in the Queensland Theatre production of Hedda, alongside Danielle Cormack, Jimi Bani and Jason Klarwein, directed by Sydney Theatre Company associate director, Paige Rattray.

TALENT: Walter Williams
PRODUCTION: Luke Ayers Media
Locked away in his home-based sound proof booth, talking into a Neumann TLM 49 microphone, you’d excuse Walter Williams if he seemed a little cray cray. But nothing could be further from the truth for this local voice professional. In fact, you could say Walter Williams thrives with cabin fever.
Every day, Walter makes magic happen in his padded booth… as evidenced by this corporate video produced recently for professional research and property investment agency, Meridian Australia.
Meridian’s video has already enjoyed more than 600 views on YouTube… plus one more, thanks to you.
TALENT: Robert Coleby
When Robert Coleby’s character, Douglas Goddard, died after several seasons of Foxtel’s A Place to Call Home, Noni Hazelhusrt wept buckets.
Noni, of course, was playing Douglas Goodard’s grieving wife but Robert likes to believe his last performance was as emotional for the cast and crew as it was for him.
A Place To Call Home launched its final season in Sydney recently with a capacity crowd at the State Theatre. Queues for autographs outside stretched for three blocks. The first episode shown the following Sunday had the largest non-sport subscriber television audience in the country. It’s a testament to the fabulous quality of production helmed by Chris Martin-Jones, and the excellent acting from the cast, effortlessly exuding ‘fifties style sentiment and predudice.
In some ways it’s a shame his role on the series had to come to an end, however dying on the set has become a common theme of late for Robert and some of his contemporaries.
“When I was working on House of Hancock, playing Frank Reinhart, I ran into Jack Thompson at Fox Studios. “Ah Rob,” Jack said, “remember when they were casting for handsome romantic leads and we’d be right up there on the list? Now they just say; “this character dies, – who looks as if they’re about to kick the bucket? “ And there we are again, – right at the top of the list! “.
“I certainly enjoyed my heart attack (in House of Hancock) immensely, Robert continued, “especially the bit where lovely Mandy McElhinney as Gina sobbed over me more than she could over any Khatutt”.
While Robert’s recent characters may have passed on, his career is still thriving. For the next year or so he will be taking the central dramatic role in entirely unique arena spectacular which is, for the moment, completey underwraps.
During his years racking up over 200 stage, film and telly credits, Robert has always been involved in voice work. “I relish the challenge in identifying with a product and putting across the intentions of the writer” he said.
From his first commercial in ’71 with Ridley Scott in the UK, to the latest, a couple of TVC’s for CUA the other day, Robert finds each opportunity hugely satisfying.
He now has a remote home studio set-up using the best of mics for anyone who wants to get a demo or even the final read that way.
