Lesson One

Meet the talent

From the words of Sinemivuyo: I work in the entertainment and media industry as a professional, South African voice-over artist, copywriter, and brand manager. My artistic contributions go back to the times I was still in high school doing dramatic arts, these were times when my ability to artistically express myself would begin.

As a result of this over the years, I have been rewarded with the opportunity to work with some of the country’s top multimedia brands. If someone told me in 2016, that I would be this far right now, I would have never believed them.

Finding Inspiration

Over the years, I have consumed a fair share of other people’s work, and what I always appreciate is drawing inspiration from the level of creativity that they bring forward to the world. But in the process, I don’t believe that I have idolized anyone or made anyone my idol. And you might think that this is an unhealthy approach, or it comes from a place of arrogance, but the truth is the moment we step outside of ourselves and praise other people, we tend to forget how great we are.

Yes, you may clap for others and fully embrace them or celebrate them but idolizing them is not an ideal thing to do.

My dream goal would be strategically placed in the entertainment industry as a creative expressionist, who is trusted and valued. I see myself as an artist, whose work would be part of a legacy of other artists who want to inspire and create.

Building a Career

The South African voiceover industry, and the voiceover industry in general is rapidly growing. In the United States alone they’ve estimated the industry to be worth at least 20 billion and above.

This comes to show that the industry itself is always going to grow and change, and that only means the introduction of new voices will enhance the value of the industry to something unimaginable.

So, I just say go for it and start posting today! Go ahead and start sharing your desire to become a voiceover artist and maybe someone is going to listen to you and give you that opportunity.
