TALENT: Geoff Gordon

Elder abuse has become an unfortunate but increasingly common occurance in today’s society. So common in fact, the goverenment needed to stand up and speak out about it.

So when it was time to decide who should be the voice of this important campaign, it was an easy decision.

Geoff Gordon’s authoritative delivery was the ideal choice.

TALENT: Kate Wilson

PRODUCTION: Cutting Edge

Veteran female voice artist, Kate Wilson, has been around long enough to know precisely the right direction to take when handed a new script to read. She’s always ready to step up and deliver.

So when she was given the scripts to anchor a series of radio spots for Blue Care aged homes, the scenario was no different; Kate’s warm, caring approach was just what the nurses ordered.

TALENT: Walter Williams

PRODUCTION: Walter Williams

Nothing says ‘Australia’ like the Sydney Opera House. And nothing celebrates the spirit of Australian innovation like a Bausele watch.

So when it came to this corporate video narration for the uniquely Australian time piece, Walter Williams gave it the respect it deserves with a classy, sophisticated professional and iconic read.

Recorded in his own in-house studio, Walter rigged his trusty Rode NTG3 shotgun mic on Mogami Gold cable into a PreSonus Studio 2/6 audio interface on his iMac 27 using a TwistedWave DAW.

You might think that sounds a little technical… but listening carefully to the audio and you’ll hear it’s as crisp as freshly starched cotton shirt. And the audio recording needed very little processing!

While we’re getting technical, the name “Bausele” is an acronym for Beyond AUStralian ELEments, that’s because each watch contains elements of Australia in their stunning design.

Take the time to enjoy.

Hugh Parker’s certainly not one to be type cast. In fact, in recent times the versatile actor’s been in high demand for a wide range of roles.
