Since 2014, The SOVAS (The Society of Voice Arts and Sciences) has hosted an awards ceremony similar to the Oscars, Emmys, etc. to acknowledge outstanding voiceover performances across a variety of media. The 4th Annual Voice Arts Awards will be held Sunday, Nov 5.

I’ve collected links to all of the nominations that I could find and also created a youtube playlist and vimeo album if you just want to click play watch them all in one go. For demo nominations I linked to the actors’ personal websites where there demos can be found. I posted the nominees for Spanish VO and for Audiobook Narration by genre, but did not look for any direct links to them.
