TAKALANI SESAME
An initiative and affiliate of the Sesame Street Company, Takalani Sesame is a children's educational programme in the tradition of its parent company. Created for the South African market 20 years ago, it has recently expanded its cast to incorporate a few new characters, including Grover... a legacy character that I play. |
MUPPET WRANGLERThis is essentially the handler for the puppets. In my capacity, I am expected to know how the puppets work and are assembled in order to effect instantaneous repairs and/or changes to their mechanics for the sake of production.

VOICE ACTOROnce all on-set production has been completed, my next task is to adapt translations from English into two languages (Sesotho and Afrikaans) to dub over the original English. The primary voices I do are for the characters Grover (English, Afrikaans and Sesotho), Elmo (Sesotho) and Jad (Sesotho). Linked is an clip of my Elmo Sesotho dubbing.
