Welcome to the VoiceMe Podcast — information and advice on the world of voiceover, presented by voiceme.co.za, the South African search directory for voice artists and related services. I’m Andrew Sutherland, founder of voiceme.co.za, and in this episode, I want to talk about one of the most urgent and critical issues facing the creative industry in South Africa today: the rights of actors and performers, and the complex, ongoing fight to secure fair treatment, legal protections, and sustainable careers in this space.
Topics in this episode:
- Why SAGA is crucial for industry reform
- The real threat of AI to voice and performance work
- What the 2025 Competition Commission exemption means for rate recommendations
- Horrific real-world examples of performer exploitation
- And most importantly: what you can do today to create change
