Local television and radio personality Carol Ofori has won big at the esteemed SOVAS Voice Arts Award in the Outstanding Commercial ?"Radio or Streaming ?" Best African Voiceover category. The mom and kiddies book author won the award for her performance in the Ratings For Schools radio advert which flighted on East Coast Radio, coincidentally, the same platform which Carol started working on with her husband Greg Ofori.

WINNING BIG

Carol has cemented herself as a stand-out voice-over artist with decades of experience in the voice arts field. She is the voice behind many radio and television adverts. She is thrilled that her hard work has been recognised on an international stage. "Winning this award feels surreal,' she says. "I can't believe that a little old me all the way from Durban, South Africa is winning an international award. I really am humbled, and I am still pinching myself.'

HONOURING CONTRIBUTORS

The Voice Arts Awards is uniquely created to honour the community of performers and craft professionals who perform, direct, produce, cast, engineer, and publish media productions where voice acting is a central creative element of the work. "To think that legends like the great Mufasa voice James Earl Jones, Avatar star Sigourney Weaver and Men In Black star Rosario Dawson all have this award and that the same statue will be displayed in my home is surreal,' she says. "I am truly humbled and an international award like this just makes me want to keep on working harder, bring more statues home and chase even bigger dreams.'
