Natasha Cheng and Roelene Coleman, Natasha is of course my partner another great creative who is making headway in the Australian as an Actor. Natasha is a Australian//Chinese actor who has been working very hard on stage for the past 2 years working on various projects. She spoke to us about how she was inspired into becoming an actor and what she is presently working on. Which brings us to Roelene Coleman, who is a good friend of ours. Roelene is an Australian/South African Actress, she started of as a model and found herself loving to be on screen. She was our very first guest when we started Chookas in 2021. Now, these two have been very bust with a company which they started during the lockdown. Their company is called 'Well Actually Productions'. Their company has already produced a fantastic satire called "We’re All Terrible, Let’s Watch TV" and now they are moving on to bigger things. They have come up with a web series concept called "Fangs and Fur'. They are now script ready and they also have a small team that is committed and now they are at the funding stage. Nice little chat with my partner and our friend. I want to wish them all the best for the upcoming project and hope folks out here can support them. Thanks Natasha and Roelene .

Lawrence Ola, is a Sydney based Actor, Voice over artist and a Song writer. He has had an amazing journey thus far. Most of us probably first saw him on the 'Step One' underwear advertisements but then he started appearing in everything else. And sometimes if we didn't see him we could hear is soft deep gentle voice on TVCs such as BUPA Australia. Lawrence has a great little story of how he went from working at a factory to perusing his dreams. Lawrence, has shown us who think there is only one way of becoming a working actor that are other ways. He is not classically trained, he is not from a wealthy household and he is not from a family artist. For the folks out there who are relaying on courage and grit to get to there individual artistic journey then listen to my man Lawrence. He spoke to us about his decision process and the risks that he took and not to mention he was 30! whilst most of us folks started when we were still in primary school. Thank you Lawrence for coming on the show and being absolutely real with us. We loving seeing folks like you thrive. Best wishes and wish the best for the journey ahead.
