It got Tony’s creative juices flowing.
He sat at his desk and penned a little ditty. Then he and his SCA Brisbane producer, Andrew Fritsch, hit the studio. While Tony did the bulk of the heavy lifting behind the mic, Andrew chimed in as his backup singer.
It wasn’t long before the whole floor at the open plan office started singing along.
Yellooooow!

TALENT: Robert Coleby
Robert Coleby has always had a wicked sense of humour. It’s a trait that helped him a land a recurring role in Catherine Tait’s new comedy series, Queen of Oz.
Over the years the veteran performer has created a drawer full of odd and interesting concepts for scripts and stories – including a few podcast ideas aimed at kids.
“The Naughty Trousers” is one of Rob’s childish musings. He made the narrator voice a sort of nutty old Colonel so he could have fun exploring the sounds of his other characters.
Meanwhile the Queen of Oz can be seen at 9:35pm Wednesdays on the ABC. Or you can stream the sitcom on iView. Check out the trailer here. Rob plays the Queen’s Private Secretary, Bernard.

Marcus has recently upgraded his home recording studio. He christened the new facility with a series of e-learning scripts for onboarding staff at SBS.
Check out his new e-learning demo… and his corporate presenting showreel too.
TALENT: Walter Williams
Ask Walter Williams and he’ll tell you, his studio is ‘the greatest place on earth’. He’s rightfully very proud and passionate about his craft.
So when he landed a plumb read for Disney World (the officially recognised Greatest Place on Earth), he was literally beside himself.
The Disney adventure tops off what has already been an exciting year for Walt.
He started 2023 by graduating from the Anthony Lamond Standup Comedy Course… and the laughs and good times have kept rolling.
He’s just secured the voice work for a 40,000 word e-Learning Project for the Opal Mining Industry. His warm but professional voice will be helping workers in this industry lower fatalities through a series of safety awareness modules.
It’s not the first time Walt’s worked closely with the Mining Industry. Over the years he’s enjoyed working on a catalogue of projects with Mining Skills Australia and several others.
Walt has a few new jobs in the pipeline too.
More recently he’s been working closely with Luminaire Media’s Director/Producer Benjamin Evans, who discovered Walt’s talents on the BrisVO website. They’ve teamed up on a series of Corporate Videos for the leading supplier of Australian Beef around the world.
And earlier in the year, Walt got the call up from a client in Germany for the Agile Evolution Corporate Project. Rene from FMP Studio reached out to Walt directly through the award winning Bodalgo site saying, “I just stumbled across your incredible voice while looking for a master voice over for a customer related kick off clip.”
Music to Walter’s ears.
You can hear the result of the Agile Evolution job below.
TALENT: Todd Levi
Todd Levi loves to escape the city life when he can. He’s even got himself a few acres in the Northern Rivers Hinterland he often retires to. Modern living gives him the flexibility to work remotely. So when he gets the call to do a milk run for Dairy Farmers, or perhaps something more sales-sy for another brand, he can do it wherever he lays his hat.
The ag thing really agrees with Todd. Sure you might recall him as the voice of Supercheap Autos, or Dominos Pizzas, or hundreds of other ads. But if you listen really carefully to the advertising landscape you might often hear his voice calling you back to the farm.
