This is a list of winners and nominees of the Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Voice Performer in a Preschool, Children's or Young Teen Program, which honors performances in both television series and made-for-television/streaming films and specials. The category was established at the 1st Children's and Family Emmy Awards in 2022, and is open to lead, supporting and guest performers of all genders who are under the age of 18. The category is a counterpart to the Preschool and Children's or Young Teen categories honoring performers in animated series, and is one of two awards specifically designed to award younger actors, alongside the Younger Performer category.

The current holder of the award is Maria Nash, who won at the 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards for her role as Pinecone in the Apple TV+ series Pinecone & Pony.

Background[edit]

On November 17, 2021, the NATAS announced the creation of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards to recognize the best in children's and family television. The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children’s and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony. Many categories of the awards were previously presented at the Daytime Emmy Awards.[1] From 1995 to 2021, voice performers were honored with the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program however, this category was discontinued following the announcement of the Children's and Family Emmys.
