South African Voice Actors

Discover More About South African Voice Actors

South Africa is home to many different ethnic groups due to the nation's turbulent past. With native Africans, Dutch settlers, and British settlers all calling the nation home historically, dialects and languages from these three main groups have survived until the present day in South Africa.

Zulu and Xhosa are the two native languages with the most speakers, and these have various different dialects to consider. Afrikaans and English are the primary foreign languages brought to the nation, with Afrikaans having developed historically from Dutch Creole. As a direct result of this mirage of culture and language, a wide variety of different accents have developed within South Africa itself.

While there are various South African accents, the differences between these accents are fairly minor in comparison to other regions of the world (for example, the United Kingdom). Many of the differences in accent are only noticeable by South Africans rather than the wider international community. However, English has been spoken in the nation for long enough that a South African English variant has developed.

With a nominal GDP of $317 billion and a population of over 60 million people, the South Africa market is not one to skip over. A native South African accent can help you connect with audiences in the country in an authentic way.
