When Afoma Ezeokoye steps behind a microphone, something remarkable happens. The words don’t just come alive—they settle in, commanding attention with calm confidence and emotional truth. That ability was honoured on one of the biggest stages in the voiceover industry, as Afoma took home the 2024 SOVAS Award for Outstanding Narration – TV or Film – Best African Voiceover.
Her winning performance in Mobilizing Capital: The World Bank Group’s Guarantee Platform wasn’t loud or dramatic. It was composed. Clear. Intentional. The kind of narration that holds its audience without forcing anything, reminding us that great storytelling isn’t always about volume—it’s about presence.
This moment wasn’t accidental. Afoma has spent years shaping her craft, lending her voice to corporate narratives, commercials, e-learning, and documentaries. Yet she never lost her storyteller’s heart. Her voice is warm and centered, with a distinct grace that makes even the most complex ideas feel human. She doesn’t just read a script—she understands it, feels it, and guides you through it.
Afoma’s SOVAS win affirms what so many who’ve worked with her already knew—she’s a force. Her artistry lies in her stillness, her intentionality, and her unmistakable tone. She’s one of those rare voices that makes you pause, not because it demands your attention, but because it earns it.
