At the 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday, Sept. 7, CalArts alum Alyssa Dressman Lehner (Film/Video MFA 01) took home the Emmy Award for Outstanding Picture Editing for a Structured Reality or Competition Program. Lehner received the honor for her work as editor on NBC’s popular singing competition show, The Voice.
This marks Lehner’s first Emmy Award, though she was previously nominated for her editing work on The Voice in 2021. Her editing career spans music videos and some of reality TV’s biggest hits, including Dancing with the Stars, MasterChef, RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, and The Bachelor.
Lehner’s Emmy-winning work on The Voice came during the show’s 25th season, which featured a star-studded coaching panel including John Legend, Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper, and the debut of Dan + Shay. Hosted by Carson Daly, The Voice showcases talented singers who compete under the mentorship of these musical icons.
