Returning as a Judge for the 2027 SOVAS Voice Arts Awards

Honored to return as a judge for the 2027 SOVAS Voice Arts Awards. Thank you to the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences for trusting me once again — a role I embrace with great responsibility, respect, and admiration.

Having stood on that stage three times as a winner, I know exactly what these awards mean to the people behind every entry. That is why judging is a responsibility I take so seriously: behind each submission there is an artist's craft, their hopes, and years of work.

What a privilege it is to listen to so many talented artists in the Spanish-language categories. The level of talent, sensibility and creativity in our community grows every single year — and sitting on this side of the table is one of the most inspiring ways to witness it.

Here's to celebrating the talent, emotion, and creativity that make us unique. If you're curious about the awards that shaped my own path, the story is in my third Voice Arts Award, for Plim Plim.
