Beyonce Receives Voice Arts Award Nomination
When Beyonce opens her mouth, she makes hit records, wins Grammys and dominates the radio airwaves. But now her voice is hitting a high note of a different kind.
The songbird is nominated for the 2015 Voice Arts Award for narrating the self-help book "The 22-Day Revolution."
Earlier this year Queen Bey participated in the 22-day vegan, plant-based diet program by author Marco Borges, and contributed a forward to his book. The singer-actress used her voice to narrate the audiobook, of which she earned a nod in the Best Voiceover category for the upcoming Voice Arts Awards gala.
Among the other nominees for Voice Arts Awards in various categories are "Project Runway" host Tim Gunn, actors Ron Perlman, Malcom Jamal Warner, Bronson Pinchot, Carolyn McCormick and others.
William Shatner was recently announced as the recipient of the Voice Arts Icon Award for his lifetime achievement in the field.
The winners will be revealed at the Voice Arts Awards Gala in Los Angeles at a ceremony on Nov. 15. The organization celebrates professional voiceover acting, creative direction and casting for advertising, audiobook narration, movie trailers, video gaming, animation, television and radio.
