The Power of the Word
One of Robyn's most enjoyable and rewarding voice-over sessions, involves playing all the female roles in the political satire "How Green Was My Cactus". Set on "Cactus Island", the show parodies our politicians, tall poppies, pop stars and media personalities. Robyn is the original cast member of "Cactus" and since 1987 has been in over 4,000 episodes. The show is recorded by Bill Dowling at Top Spots Digital in Sydney every week…and also features Keith Scott, one of the world's great voice impersonators.
 Robyn and Keith Scott create all the character voices on "Cactus" every week at Top Spot Digital in Sydney. |
