In 2013, the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences™ (SOVAS™) was founded with a bold vision: to elevate the art, craft, and business of voice acting by creating opportunities for education, recognition, and career advancement. What began as a passion project has since grown into a globally recognized organization that champions voice actors, producers, and spoken-word artists across industries.

At the heart of SOVAS™ is the Voice Arts® Awards, established to celebrate excellence in voice performance and production. Often referred to as “The Oscars of Voice Acting,” the awards honor the best talents in voiceover across entertainment, advertising, gaming, audiobook narration, and more. This prestigious platform has amplified the visibility of voice actors, giving them long-overdue recognition on the world stage.

Beyond awards, SOVAS™ is a beacon for education and professional development. Through events like That’s Voiceover!™ Career Expo, SOVAS™ provides aspiring and seasoned voice actors with direct access to top industry professionals, career opportunities, and training. The organization has also forged impactful partnerships with major brands, studios, and agencies, bridging the gap between talent and the business of voice.

As part of its mission, SOVAS™ has been a relentless advocate for diversity, inclusion, and artistic integrity. By fostering mentorship and outreach programs, it continues to break barriers, ensuring that voices from all backgrounds have the opportunity to thrive.

From its inception to the present, SOVAS™ has transformed the voice acting industry, setting new standards for excellence and creating a legacy that will inspire generations to come. With each passing year, the organization expands its reach, reinforcing its commitment to empowering voices that shape culture, storytelling, and communication worldwide.
