Hi, I’m Kavesan Pillay – better known in the booth (and on the mic) as Voice Artist Kav!
As a professional and international award-winning artist (voice-over, acting, MCing and Keynote Speaking), I don’t just read scripts – I bring stories to life. With my MBA and over a decade as a senior brand marketing and communications specialist in the corporate world, I can achieve what many voice artists cannot: to CONSISTENTLY deliver a message with the tone, intention and energy of any brand promise, making it land authentically with the desired audience.
From radio and TV commercials to social media campaigns, corporate narrations, explainer videos and retail announcements, I’ve proudly voiced projects for brands around the world – offering not just my voice, but my strategic brain, emotional intelligence and full creative commitment. My voice-over portfolio is extensive, with cross-genre career highlights that include:
> Voicing over 200 On-Hold Messages for SMMEs and Corporates
> The Voice of Makro (2023)
> The Voice of Builders Warehouse (2017)
> The Nationwide In-store Voice of major retailers (eg: Toys R Us, Tekkie Town, Cash Crusaders, Shell Ultra City, JAM Clothing)
> Radio Commercials & Social Campaigns (eg: UKZN, Standard Bank, Midea, Spar, Swaadisht Foods, ESET Digital Security, Barcelo’s, Globeflight)
> Corporate eLearning Narrations (eg: Hilton Hotels USA, Facebook, Pfizer, Discovery Insurance, First Rand Bank, Scrum Alliance).
As a Corporate MC and Live Announcer, my voice and presenter skills have been entrusted by major names for their awards ceremonies, conferences and retail promotions. These include: Pedro’s, Mediclinic, Pfizer, the KZN Blind & Deaf Society, the PSASA, Pick n Pay Hypermarkets and Makro KZN.
I’m also a professional speaker, national finalist in the 2025 Speaker Factor competition and Executive for Marketing & Communications with the Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa (PSASA) – where I now use my voice to uplift audiences as much as I do brands.
Finally, as a trained professional actor, I represented South Africa at the prestigious IMTA Convention in New York (2022) – walking away with seven international acting awards including “Actor of the Year” and “Most Sought-After Male Talent”. My film debut in a 2025 local feature sees me starring alongside several notable actors in a powerful supporting role.
With my signature versatility, I’m able to adapt to a diversity of projects across the creative and professional spectrum. But at the core? I’m just a Durban boy with a big voice, an even bigger heart and a dependency on chai that I’ve chosen not to address (because let’s face it, the caffeine fix is a prerequisite in this industry!).
So whether you’re looking for a versatile, emotionally tuned-in voice artist who delivers high-quality recordings on time (and with exceptional service), or a creative collaborator who understands your vision from a brand and storytelling perspective, you’ve found your guy.
I’m Voice Artist Kav – “Let’s Get Talking!”
