MVO: The Voice-Over Guys’ ANDY BARNETT was recognized as Best Voiceover Talent in the category of Outstanding National Commercial Campaign, TV or Web during the 2017 Voice Arts® Awards, held at Lincoln Center in New York on Sunday, November 5th.
Barnett’s work as a voice talent for Wendy’s Restaurant and their “Double Stack 4 for $4” spot earned Andy the award.
Andy, whose awarding winning spot also featured voice actor Michael Schwalbe, was originally nominated in two categories including Best Voiceover in the category of Outstanding Promo Demo Reel.
The Voice Arts® Awards provide international acknowledgement of the extraordinary skill and artistry that goes into the voiceover acting and the associated roles of creative director, copywriter, producer, audio engineer, casting director, voice director and others. The first The Voice Arts® Awards were given out in 2014.
Every member of MVO: The Voice-Over Guys would like to add their congratulations to our friend and fellow voice actor on his wonderful recognition.
ABOUT ANDY BARNETT
Andy has been acting since he was a kid (and by some accounts he still is a kid). Some voice actors claim versatility, but Andy embodies it. His natural conversational voice is friendly, laid back, just like your buddy from college or your next door neighbor. More than one client has suggested he kind of sounds like Jon Hamm at times. But don’t let that fool you, Andy also has the vocal gravitas to do everything from a younger sound to a deep masculine blue-collar Midwesterner, from a straight announcer to an international neutral accent, and last but not least, a variety of character voices. Just don’t ask him to sing or dance (the poor guy can’t carry a note, and his coordination is rather cringeworthy).
