My Story
From a blanket fort in my garage to a broadcast booth serving clients around the world.
Hi, I’m Kavesan Pillay (better known as Voice Artist Kav) and this is my journey.
I’ve always had a thing for the spotlight… or maybe more accurately, the microphone. It all began back at Hillary Primary School, where I signed up for speech and drama classes. I didn’t know it then, but those early moments of learning how to breathe life into words laid the foundation for everything that came next.
By the time I got to Glenwood High School, I was deep into public speaking and debating, refining the art of confident, intentional communication. That passion followed me to the University of Cape Town where, while studying for my Business Science Honours degree in Marketing, I discovered the magic of UCT Radio - and fell headfirst into the world of voice. I started voicing radio promos between lectures and late-night assignments and somewhere in that chaos, a calling emerged.
What started in a makeshift blanket-fort studio (literally, a mic wedged between moving boxes in my parents' garage storeroom) grew into a thriving freelance voice-over business, serving clients locally and across the globe. And today? I record from a fully treated, custom-built 3x3m professional recording booth that I designed and built from scratch - proof that growth is a journey, not a jump.
But my voice didn’t stop at narration. Over the years, clients started inviting me to MC their events - first weddings and birthdays, and then brand launches, award shows and high-level corporate functions. From there, I grew into professional speaking through my affiliation with the PSASA (Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa), where I now inspire audiences on topics like brand storytelling, personal motivation and communicating with confidence.
I also pursued my passion for acting, representing South Africa at the IMTA (International Model & Talent Association) Convention in New York in 2022, where I earned multiple international awards - including Actor of the Year and Most Sought-After Male Talent in my age category. In 2025, I made my film debut in a local feature, playing a supporting role alongside some incredible South African talent - marking another milestone in this ongoing creative adventure.
Today, under the Voice Artist Kav brand, I bring together all of my passions (voice-over narration, MCing, acting and speaking) to help brands and people communicate with more purpose, presence and personality. Whether I’m voicing a national ad, hosting a product launch or keynoting a leadership summit, my mission remains the same: to help you find your voice, share your story and move hearts and minds.
I’m proud of where I’ve come from, and even more excited about where I’m going. Every script, every event and every audience is an opportunity to connect, to create and to bring a little more joy into the world.
