In his powerful interview with VOAfrica’s WeVoice series, seasoned voice actor Nadeem Khaled shared insights every Nigerian voice talent should take to heart.

His advice? Stop trying to be seen too soon. Instead, become so skilled that when people finally hear you, they’re amazed. This isn’t about chasing likes or validation—it’s about putting in the quiet work that builds real impact.

For voice talents in Nigeria’s fast-growing creative industry, this is gold. Don’t depend on a naturally deep or smooth voice. That’s a gift—but it’s not a strategy. What clients remember is your clarity, emotion, professionalism, and delivery. Build those, and the jobs will follow.

Nadeem also stresses the power of first impressions. A polished demo, clean audio, and a professional tone show clients you’re ready for global standards. Be proud of the craft you’ve developed, not just the voice you were born with.

“Be proud of what you’ve earned. Be grateful for what you’ve been given,” he says.

In a market where everyone wants to be heard, the real power lies in being worth listening to.
