'JUST THE BEGINNING' The VoiceOver Network - a membership organization founded in 2015 by voice actor Rachael Naylor to "help, support and strengthen the voice over industry" - initiated the awards program in 2016 with the Geoff Cotton Award as part of its annual birthday celebration. Several categories were added this year, and "this is just the beginning," says Naylor. "Next year's event will be bigger and better." Judges for this year's competition were a selection of industry experts "who not only know the industry, but who also know the community and The VoiceOver Network membership," Naylor adds. Also in the works this year are The VoiceOver Network North American events, including an awards program. TO 'SHINE A LIGHT' "We've had a couple of difficult years due to the global pandemic and the impact that has had on all our lives," says Naylor. "But many voice actors continued to work throughout these difficult times - thanks in part, to their home studios - and have been able to develop their careers despite facing many difficulties. "As we are hopefully now see a light at the end of the tunnel," she says, "we decided to use our first in-person birthday party in two years to shine a light on the many accomplishments that those in the industry have achieved during this time. "Being a voice actor isn't just about having a great voice," she adds. "You have to work really hard to establish yourself, and you have to have a wide skill set to achieve this. That is often overlooked and under-recognized, and our awards have taken this all into consideration."
