Tamala Shelton (Reader)
Tamala played the main cast role of Petra in US drama series Reef Break, from ABC Studios International and Touchstone Pictures. A role with much emotional range, requiring a perfected standard US accent.

Her lead role in Location Scouts (Noble Savage Pictures), was a hilarious behind-the-scenes
look at the feature film Top End Wedding; and Tamala also recently appeared in the short
film Scout and Radio Karate's True Story Season 2.
Possibly best known for playing the key role of Alinta in the critically-acclaimed series Cleverman, season 1 and 2, for the ABC and Sundance TV, Tamala made her professional debut in the ABC comedy Upper Middle Bogan. This was followed with a main cast role in Nowhere Boys, the hit teen drama for ABC3 from Matchbox Pictures, a role reprised for the film Nowhere Boys: The Book of Shadows.

When not acting Tamala is an avid reader and writer. This has leant itself well to her everadvancing work in audiobook narration and voiceover work. Tamala has been the narrator and characters of a large number of well-known audiobooks, garnering her a strong reputation and seeing her in regular demand.
