Today, as I was recording a voiceover for a client I have never met, something hit me. That my voice has been in places I have never been, world over.
As a voiceover artist and documentary producer based in Uganda, East Africa, this means a lot so let me put my thoughts down.
Last year, TotalEnergies EP Uganda hosted the Youth in Energy Conference 2025 at the Sheraton Kampala ballroom. While I have been to Sheraton Kampala for other reasons, I wasn’t at this conference. But somehow, my voice was there.
Here are some details; In October 2025, TotalEnergies EP Uganda, together with the Society of Petroleum Engineers Uganda Chapter, brought together more than 300 young people for the Youth in Energy Conference, under the theme “Awareness to Action: Youth Shaping Uganda’s Energy Transition.
And somewhere in that room, a video played with my voice telling part of the story. I remember my friend, Maxine recorded the video playing on the big screen and shared it to her instagram stories, with a word of praise for me.
That still gets me, as a Ugandan creative.
The same thing happened with the 6th Annual National Content Conference organised by the Petroleum Authority of Uganda. The conference brought together key players in Uganda’s oil and gas sector under the theme “Beyond the Drill: Cultivating a Legacy of Empowered Nationals and Enterprises in Uganda’s Oil Age.”
Somehow, my voice found its way there too.
Then there are the quieter examples.
I’ve recorded voiceovers for a client in the United Kingdom- a place I have never visited. I’ve voiced projects for people I have never met. Sometimes, I don’t even know exactly where the finished piece will be watched.
And yet, there I am.
And perhaps that is what I love most about voiceover work; that quiet reminder that our work can travel in ways we cannot predict.
So yes, my voice has been in places I haven’t been.
And to be honest, I’m curious where it will go next.
