Vancouver, BC - October 04, 2005 – OSVS Voice Production Services, a combination talent agency and production company, now offers advertising agencies a streamlined service for casting and producing voiceovers. Agencies can review voice demos online; select the talent they want, then either have OSVS record the voiceover in

its professional studio, or have OSVS arrange for them to deal directly with the voice actors.
OSVS has assembled a talent roster of over 100 of the top announcers and voice actors in North America. Demos of their voice talents are posted on the OSVS website (www.onestopvoiceshop.com/talent.php) organized b

If an ad agency chooses to work online, OSVS’s technology seamlessly connects voices to the agency’s director, enabling them to direct the talent, check timings, hear playback, and edit takes online, in real time.

“It’s a streamlined operation that cuts down on the time and expense of conducting live auditions,” says OSVS Customer Service Director Bob Wonch. “Agencies are reacting well to it, though it surprises them at first when they call from New York or Los Angeles and discover we’re up here in Canada.”

Recent examples of the clients OSVS has been attracting with its online service include UBS, Siemens, Discovery Channel, IBM, and the PGA Tour.
“From the outset,” says Mr. Wonch, “we developed relationships only with experienced voice acting talents who could provide versatility for the broad range of projects that come to us needing voiceover

work – everything from radio and TV commercials, to documentaries and video games.
“Digital technology allows us to bring them together and function as a nationwide talent agent and production company. I think the agencies we work with are a little surprised at how quickly we can put them together with the right voice for almost any project. But we have a team of cast
