Canadian Association of Voice Actors

Canadian Association of Voice Actors is a non-profit association based in Toronto, Canada working on arts & culture, employment & skills.

The Canadian Association of Voice Actors (CAVA) is a national non-profit organisation formed by voiceover industry professionals. It educates, supports and advocates for the sustainability and advancement of the Canadian voice acting industry. CAVA's work focuses on advocacy, including seeking legislative change on artificial intelligence and the ethical, fair use of voices and likenesses. It provides members with educational content and webinars on topics such as AI, voiceover scams, contract literacy and live directed sessions, as well as discounts, benefits and connections with industry partners. It also fosters social interaction among members through social media and online events. CAVA is run by volunteer executive and advisory boards, and it serves voice actors who are both union and non-union. Its main activity is based in Canada and it is led from Toronto, Ontario. CAVA also runs an annual gala to raise funds for its advocacy, education and member programmes. The organisation states that it is not a casting agency, talent roster or training platform, and that it does not provide work to voice actors.
