WE ALL HAVE A VOICE. CELEBRATE IT.

4th Annual

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2017 Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall

© 2017 Society of Voice Arts and Sciences™ To the Voice Arts® Community:

Thank you.

I’m surprised at times to be a steward of the voice arts community coming out to honor its best. My role is my pleasure and occasionally seems bigger than I am. It helps that we’re a village. Someone invariably shows up at the right time voicing the right words to encourage and drown out a thousand voices of doubt. And then, ah, there’s the voice and its magic. You are possessed by this magic, gifted with the power of giving voice to people’s desires to reach many others. I marvel at how you dedicate yourselves, on off hours, to go to such lengths to hone your craft. And to grow as human beings as you absorb coaching and training that reminds you: to move people you have to be moved by them. Reaching people through the voice is your calling. And just to say it hints at how inspiring you are. This is what inspired SOVAS™ to create the Muhammad Ali Voice of Humanity Honor, the Backstage Vanguard Award, and the Environmental Voice Arts® Award. These acknowledgments ring with a truth exemplified by the best work you do, in our field, and perhaps by the best in all fields. The value of your contribution rests far more on how dedicated you are to improving the lives of others than on your job credits. Giving way beyond narrow self-interest serves a grander interest. Those we will honor here show by their example that it is such giving that opens the way for their voices to be most magical. And along with magic, comes true art. I vividly remember the moment when the term, “voice arts” occurred to our team as a way to imagine the many facets of the voice actor’s work. I’m still amazed that the term hadn’t already been seized. SOVAS™ was able to secure the trademark - proclaiming the voice actor’s work, when performed with utmost devotion to the highest refinement, rises to the sublime stature of art. So I encourage you, whether you receive an award here or not, to know that the magic that comes with giving with the highest aspirations applies to you too. However wonderful the timbre of your voice, and the diversity of dialects you’ve mastered, you know: Your greatest impact will come from the quality and quantity of heart you put into your voice. ® As voice actors, you are curators of our greatest human power–speaking. Whether your daily work has you interpreting the words of great authors, scholars or humanitarians, your gift and calling to reach others through VOICE ARTS ICON AWARD your voice always stir in whatever words you say. And always you can make your unspoken subtext a call to those who hear you to use their greatest power to speak for the good of us all.

LILY TOMLIN, PERFOMER/ACTIVIST Sincerely,
