Outstanding Performance – Voice

"It's worth noting, I think, that this year's fantastic winners starred in three independent Canadian films: Requiem for Romance, a short animated film by Jonathan Ng, Picture Day by Kate Melville and The Disappeared by Shandi Mitchell. All writer-directors and two of them female," said ACTRA Toronto's President, David Sparrow. "Groundbreaking representation on lots of levels."

Rick Mercer presented ACTRA Toronto's 2013 Award of Excellence to Shirley Douglas, honouring her lifetime of acting and activism.

The annual ACTRA Awards in Toronto were presented at The Carlu on February 23, 2013 with a gala evening hosted by Elvira Kurt with live music by multiple Maple Blues nominee, Shakura S'Aida. The ACTRA Awards in Toronto recognize outstanding performances by ACTRA Toronto members.
