One Voice Awards 2026 Winner!

EEEEE I WON AN AWARD!! Thank you One Voice, JMC and Gravy for the Brain for this incredible honor! Back in August, when I was in Dallas for the One Voice conference and award ceremony, I won “Best Character Performance – Female” for one of my favorite projects I’ve worked on: Lana Longbeard. Voicing Lana was a dream come true! I got to play, sing and improvise for 52 11-minute episodes over the course of a year and a half. I have to give a special shoutout to Copernicus Studios in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for trusting me to voice the lead character in their first original IP and to Zephyr Animation for the beautiful animation. To Supersonics for hosting the sessions and to my incredible director, Deep Shipley for allowing me to play. And finally, to my amazing agents at TaDa Voiceworks, Tanya and Krista, who are rockstars and who been supporting me since the start of my career. I am so grateful for this honor and thank you so much, once again to OVC.

 

 

You can watch Lana Longbeard on Cartoon Network UK, HBO Max (Europe), CBC Gem (Canada) and you can check out tons more clips on YouTube. The show has also been dubbed in 22 other languages!

One Voice Awards 2026

Congratulations to all the 2026 nominees! I’m so honored to be nominated for:

 

ANIMATION – BEST CHARACTER – FEMALE for voicing one of my favorite characters, Lana, in Lana Longbeard and

 

DEMO REELS – BEST PERFORMANCE – PROMO produced by the amazing J. Michael Collins.

 

The One Voice Awards are a blast and I can’t wait to make it out to Dallas to the conference and the award show! I’ll be honest, I almost didn’t submit. I kept forgetting and putting it off until I realized the deadline was in 24 hours. I was at my computer until the last second of the deadline putting together my animation reel and making sure all the submissions were as strong as they could be. And like any submission, once it’s sent into the ether, I exhale and carry on. I’m so thankful for these nominations and I’m so grateful to be part of such a supportive and uplifting community!
