A first for the voice over industry, SaVoa aims to accredit all professional voice over artists, regardless of location, to preserve their art while recognizing people who produce broadcast-quality audio.
Toronto, Canada (VOICES.COM) September 29 – The Society of Accredited Voice Over Artists (SaVoa) is a not-for-profit organization that provides juried peer evaluations and accredits qualified voice over artists with a recognized, professional status based upon technical and artistic criteria, primarily, an individual’s ability to produce broadcast-quality audio recordings for public consumption. A first for the voice over industry, the goals of SaVoa are to enhance the voice over profession, encourage education, and support public awareness of the generosity, spirit and professionalism of voice over artists.
The industry experts at Voices.com, the voice over marketplace, were personally invited by the SaVoa board of directors to share information with their community of voice over talents about SaVoa, taking the initiative to air a special podcast announcing the breaking news on VOX Talk and publishing an article on the VOX Daily Voice Actors Blog in efforts to promote SaVoa and educate voice talents on the offerings that an organization such as The Society of Accredited Voice Over Artists could provide to them.
