Celebrating excellence in the voiceover industry
Announced in April, the South African Voiceover Awards were developed to acknowledge the growing influence and artistry of voice professionals across the nation.
This year, the ceremony will celebrate excellence across the industry, highlighting artists in all 11 official languages, with 25 awards to be presented in 14 categories.
Among the categories are Best Voiceover Artist of the Year (Male and Female), Best Newcomer, and the Lifetime Achievement Award — the night’s highest honour.
“This is more than an awards show. It’s a celebration of the power of voice, a platform to uplift industry standards, and a tribute to the diverse tapestry of South African storytelling,” Mpulu said.
Entries for the awards opened on 23 April and will close on 8 August 2025. Voiceover artists from across the country are invited to submit their work through the official TSVA website.
