Who we are….

MARTINE PAVEY

 

Martine Pavey is a  Drama graduate from Victoria College. Always a great lover of the musical theatre, Martine spent her teens involved in many local shows moving on to professional theatre restaurant performances in her college years. During this time she also dabbled in some film & television work and appeared as “Nancy”  in a touring production of Oliver!

Once Martine graduated she balanced a life of teaching in secondary schools with her performance work with her husband Ron. She continues to do just that combining teaching at Voicebox whilst also touring her one-woman shows JUDY & LIZA and now DIVAS throughout the Australian Art Centres as well as doing voiceover work for radio, educational dvds & podcasts.

 

RON HALLIDAY

 

Ron began his singing career at 15, “just wanting to be Paul McCartney”. Working mainly in Rock and Pop, he sang and played guitar and keyboard with various bands before getting his Bachelor of Education at Rusden College. He also played lead roles in amateur theatre, doing “The Land of Smiles”, “New Moon” and “South Pacific”.

 

Ron taught in secondary schools for some years before establishing a musical duo appropriately called “Makin’ Whoopee!” with Martine. In addition to teaching at Voicebox he is currently teaching Contemporary Voice in the Degree Course at Box Hill TAFE.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOGETHER

 

Martine and Ron met at College and together they formed the musical duo “Makin’ Whoopee!” The duo was very successful & toured for over 10 years performing for all manner of occasions from private celebrations to corporate events. Martine & Ron went on to establish their own production company producing shows including “Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major” & “Back to the Seventease” which toured the Australian Club & theatre circuits as well as appearing in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
