Episode 49: Lawrence Ola (Actor, Voice Over Artist and Song Writer)

Chookas

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.
