The Society of Voice Arts and Sciences (SOVAS) is an American nonprofit voice acting and voice-over professional society established in 2013 "to galvanize the global voice acting community: connecting job seekers to the consummate sources of training, education, mentoring, and employment opportunities required to create and sustain a successful career in the voice-over industry". Headquartered in New York City, SOVAS presents the Voice Arts Awards and the annual That's Voiceover! Career Expo. SOVAS was co-founded by Rudy Gaskins, an Emmy-winning producer who serves as the organization's chairman and CEO, and actress and author Joan Baker, who serves as vice president.[1][2]
