Roslyn Oades is an Australian actor, puppeteer and theater maker.

Her acting work includes on iconic Australian TV shows A Country Practice as a guest actor, and a two year stint on the 47-time Logie Award winning show Home and Away as Kylie Burton.[1][2] Her character in Home and Away died from a drug overdose while in custody.[3]

Oades has been described as one of Australia’s leading documentary theatremakers,[4][5] noted particularly for her work pioneering headphone verbatim techniques[6][7][8][9] where actors near simultaneously speak the recorded words of real people as they listen to them.[10] Her work has been described as being like a documentary film-maker or investigative journalist, where she embedded herself in a community to develop source material for a work.[11] The development of her headphone theater techniques started from observing them as a drama exercise in a workshop run by director Mark Wing-Davey.[12][13] She has recently departed from headphone verbatim work, moving towards works created through soundscapes, citing Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's work The Murder of Crows as formative influences.[14]

Her audio-scripted performance work Hello, Goodbye & Happy Birthday received the Green Room Award for outstanding writing for the Australian Stage and in 2019 Oades received a special Green Room Award for Technical Achievement in theatre.[15] Her work has also been nominated for Helpmann Awards,[16] Sydney Theatre Awards[17] and New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards.[18]

Three of her works have been published as a compilation titled Acts of Courage by Currency Press, including Stories of Love and Hate (made in response to 2005 Cronulla riots through interviews with 65 people over a two-year period)[19] 'Fast Cars and Tractor Engines', and 'I'm Your Man'.[20]
