The Voice Arts™ Awards is an open competition voted upon by experts within the various fields that constitute the entry categories. Two voting rounds: one to determine the initial nominees and a second to determine one nominee to be designated the winner in each entry category. Several special awards (lifetime achievement, etc.) will also be awarded. Some awards will be presented during a live Voi
ce Arts™ Awards Gala which will be open for ticket sales to the public. The purpose of the Voice Arts™ Awards is to provide international acknowledgement of the extraordinary skill and artistry that goes into the voiceover acting and the associated industry professions and to encourage a best-in-class standard of achievement to which the voiceover industry can continually aspire. Voice Arts™ Awards will honor and acknowledge the voice actors, creative directors, copywriters, casting directors, talent agents, directors, producers, audio engineers, account executives, equipment manufacturers, podcasters, bloggers and others who create and sustain excellence within the voiceover industry. As one program among many administered by the Society Of Voice Arts And Sciences™ (SOVAS™), a non-profit 501 (c)3 corporation, -- the Voice Arts™ Awards works to connect job seekers to the best sources of training, education, mentoring and employment opportunities within the voiceover community. We welcome the generosity of donors who want to help us provide merit-based scholarships for those experiencing financial hardships. We welcome individuals, national and local businesses who wish to contribute to our various programs and ventures - raising awareness for the indispensable and valuable impact that the voiceover industry has on advertising, marketing, recreation, education and technology -- worldwide. The inaugural presentation of the Voice Arts™ Award was made to Keith David on August 17, 2013 at the Directors Guild of America as part of That’s Voiceover! The award was designed in partnership with R.S. Owens Company (the same manufacturers of the Oscar®, Emmy® and MTV Music Awards®, among many others). Program Administrator: Society Of Voice Arts And Sciences™ Officers, Board of Directors and Volunteers.
