Roslyn Oades


Roslyn Oades - EM Voices
Roslyn Oades is an Australian puppeteer, voice actress, and artist who only Henson Company work can be seen on Bambaloo and Farscape. How come Roslyn hasn't done enough work with the Henson Company? And why hasn't she worked on a project with the Muppets? It's probably because there are not enough projects featuring the Muppets filmed in Australia. She has also puppeteered on a couple productions outside of Henson, such as Toybox, Babe II: Pig in the City, The Matrix, and various TV commercials. Oades has also lent her voice to animated shows such as Sea Princesses, Zigby, and the ever popular Tracy McBean (to name a couple). I read the Roslyn is experienced in corporate, audio book, and documentary narration and occasionally turned up on ABC Radio National in radio plays and poetry readings. She has also spent her life making original works for theatre. Some of her works for theatre have included Hello, Goodbye & Happy Birthday, I'm Your Man, Stories of Love & Hate, Fast Cars and Tractor Engines, and many more productions. She has also published two books which are named Acts of Courage & Verbatim: Staging Memory & Community. I never knew that someone who only did one project with Henson has done so much theatre work and book publishing. But I just wish that Roslyn Oades would have a chance in her life to perform or assist the Muppets, if they ever film in Melbourne where she lives. If she can puppeteer, and voice on television and film, then she'd be perfect to work with the Muppets on a project. Roslyn Oades, keep yourself occupied with what it is you do with art, and see if you can work or assist the Muppets on a project. G'day Roslyn Oades!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Robertson even performed on the Sesame Street film Follow That Bird and it's Canadian co-production Sesame Park.

Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
