The '''Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance''' was a [[Creative Arts Emmy Award]] given out by the [[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]]. It was awarded to a performer for an outstanding "continuing or single voice-over performance in a series or a special."<ref name="Rules"/> Prior to 1992, voice actors could be nominated for their performance in the live-action acting categories.<ref>{{cite news|title=Simpsons' Can't Compete For Emmy as Top Comedy |date=1990-08-02|page=L44|newspaper=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|agency=Associated Press}}</ref> The award was first given in 1992 when six voice actors from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' shared the award. From 1992 to 2008, it was a juried award, so there were no nominations and there would be multiple or no recipients in one year. In 2009, the rules were changed to a category award, with five nominees.

Usually, winners would be voice actors from animated shows, but some narrators of live-action shows won such as [[Keith David]] in 2005 and 2008. No winner was named in [[48th Primetime Emmy Awards|1996]] or [[59th Primetime Emmy Awards|2007]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.emmys.org/media/releases/2007/rel_pte07-juried2.php |title=Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences Announces Emmy Award Winners in costumes for a variety or music program and individual achievement in animation |publisher=Emmys.org |access-date=2008-08-20|date=2007-08-21}}</ref>

Nine voice actors from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' won a combined 14 Emmys in the category. Of those, [[Dan Castellaneta]] won four and [[Hank Azaria]] won three. [[Ja'net Dubois]] won two for ''[[The PJs]]'', Keith David won two for his narration of various documentaries, and [[Maurice LaMarche]] won two for ''[[Futurama]]''. Voice actors from shows on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] won 17 of the 27 awards presented.

In 2014, the category was separated into two categories – [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Narrator|Outstanding Narrator]] and [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance|Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance]]. This split acknowledged and accommodated a general industry uptrend in the distinctly different achievements that are voice-over narration and voice-over character performance.<ref>{{cite news|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|title=EMMYS: TV Academy Splits Best Miniseries & TV Movie, Reality Program & Voice-Over Categories, Expands Combined Longform Fields To 6 Nominees, Sets Possibility For 7 Best Drama & Comedy Series Nominees|url=https://deadline.com/2014/02/its-official-tv-academy-splits-best-miniseries-tv-movie-category-686953/|access-date=February 21, 2014|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|date=February 20, 2014}}</ref>

==Rules==
While most of the [[Primetime Emmy Awards]] choose winners from a group of nominees, the award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance was juried from 1992 to 2008. Each entrant was screened by a panel of Academy of Television Arts & Sciences members from the Animation branch as well as members of the Acting branch with voice-over credits. Potential nominees had to submit a DVD that contained an edited version of a single episode and a picture of the character(s) that were voiced. Submissions that were less than 30 minutes had to be edited to be shorter than five minutes; entries longer than 30 minutes were edited to be less than ten.<ref name="Rules"/> Prior to 2007, the maximum edited lengths were ten and fifteen minutes respectively.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.emmys.org/downloads/PT_rules2006.pdf |title=58th Primetime Emmy Awards 2005–2006 Rules and Procedures |access-date=2008-08-20 |publisher=[[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071129082944/http://www.emmys.org/downloads/PT_rules2006.pdf |archive-date=November 29, 2007 }}</ref> Each entrant with majority approval went on to a second panel. Emmy winners had to be unanimous choices of this second panel, except that for every 12 persons or fraction thereof on the panel, one "no" vote was allowed, except from the head of the panel.<ref name="Rules">{{cite news|url=http://cdn.emmys.tv/downloads/2008/pte60_rulesandproced.pdf |title=60th Primetime Emmy Awards 2007–2008 Rules and Procedures |access-date=2008-08-20 |publisher=[[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080910045225/http://cdn.emmys.tv/downloads/2008/pte60_rulesandproced.pdf |archive-date=September 10, 2008 }}</ref>

In 2009, the Academy changed the award from a "juried" award to a "category", with six nominees and one winner.<ref name="2009 Rules">{{cite news|url=http://cdn.emmys.tv/downloads/2009/pte61_rulesandproced.pdf |title=61st Primetime Emmy Awards 2008–2009 Rules & Procedures|publisher=[[Academy of Television Arts & Sciences]]}}</ref>
