Words whispered. Voices raised. Stories born.
The revolution sounds like a whisper, a shout, a heartbeat. It’s time to give voice to the unsung heroes of sound.
The South African voiceover industry has long been calling for recognition—and now, it’s finally stepping into the spotlight. Enter The South African Voiceover Awards, the first of its kind, set to celebrate the incredible talent behind the mic.
At the heart of this groundbreaking initiative is Sinemivuyo Mpulu, a true maestro of voice and vision. With his passion and leadership, the awards aim not only to honor excellence but also to uplift the entire industry.
This isn’t just about trophies. It’s about recognizing the passion, persistence, and craft that goes into building voices that captivate, inspire, and entertain.
A Cultural Milestone
The impact of the South African Voiceover Awards goes far beyond the ceremony. By highlighting voice actors from across the country—and the continent—it’s celebrating the power of voice acting to shape culture, inspire imagination, and foster connection.
What makes this initiative truly historic?

21 Categories, Infinite Possibilities
From animation and advertising to audiobooks and beyond, the awards span 21 categories, offering a platform for a wide range of talents and styles. It’s an open invitation for both seasoned pros and fresh voices to shine.
By creating this space, the awards are nurturing a community of voice actors—a hub for learning, growth, and mutual support.
