(Henderson, NV) January 16, 2025 – World-Voices Organization® (WoVO), an international association for professional voice actors, has elected their new Executive Board of Directors for 2025.
The Professional Level Membership has ratified incoming WoVO President, George Washington III of Charlotte, NC, as well as new Executive Board Members Barri Tsavaris, formerly of South Korea, Cameron Thomas of Amherst, NH, Moe Egan Thomas of Manchester, NH, and Tim Powers of Rochester, NY. They will be joining current Board members Joe Davis, Debbie Irwin, Ramesh Mahtani, Colin McLean, Mike McGonegal, Memo Sauceda, and Katherin Vasilopoulos.
Incoming President Washington says one of his goals is to build on the success of a recent UN-Conference the group held in October 2024. “Last year, WoVO had a successful event in Chicago, with ‘WoVOCon: The Voiceover UnConference’. That event has energized us to move the organization forward with new services and programs for our membership. This new Executive Board will be vital in propelling WoVO forward in these efforts, and I cannot be happier to be working with them all.” An UnConference is a peer-to-peer learning event without traditional keynote speakers.
World-Voices Organization (WoVO) is a non-profit, member-driven industry association for professional voice talent. Its mission is to educate the voiceover community, as well as other business sectors, about voiceover best practices, standards for ethical conduct, and professional expertise. WoVO also creates and supports a nurturing community for the professional voice actor, which can be a very isolating career, working solo out of a home studio much of the time. As a guild, WoVO strives to keep members up to date on what is happening in the industry, offer networking opportunities, and is a resource for mentors, panel discussions, webinars, business resources, and conferences.
Voice actors of all levels of expertise are welcome to join the organization, from beginners to professionals. Industry Partners, individuals who provide ancillary services to the voice over community and who support our mission, are also welcome to join the organization.
Truly an international organization, WoVO has had members throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as in the UK, Japan, France, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Latvia, Switzerland, Portugal and Spain.
