About The African Voices Script Repository
The African Voices Script Repository (AVSR) is an initiative under the Association of African Podcasters and Voice Artists (APVA) that seeks to establish a comprehensive library of scripts for the benefit of voice artists across the continent.
Recognizing the talent and potential that resides in the African audio-creative sector, AVSR aims to bridge the gap between script writers and voice artists, offering a rich resource for practice, growth, and collaboration.
The African Voices Script Repository is not just a collection of scripts; it’s a testament to the diverse stories that Africa has to offer and a bridge connecting those who write them to those who give them a voice.
