Rory O'Shea Productions

Rory O'Shea traces his broadcast lineage back to the era of Marconi. Rory's grandfather was one of the fastest telegraph operators for the merchant navy during World War I.

Years later Rory's mother became one of the first female news announcers in Ireland, on Radio Eireann, in the early '50’s.

Rory had an auspicious start in broadcasting when he reached the Provincial Public Speaking Finals at the age of 13, taking 2nd place honours with a recommendation that he sign with a talent agent.

He followed the advice, secured official representation & then co-starred in a Heinz Ketchup television commercial with famous comic John Candy. It was the first of 10 TV ads to feature Rory during his teen years.

By 21, Rory had realized his initial dream of becoming a broadcaster by landing his debut on-air gig for radio stations 1350 CKAR/ 94.9 FM-CKQT in Oshawa, Ontario, (near Toronto) in early 1984. By 1985, a Calgary station offered Rory his next job.

After 3 years with contemporary hit radio station AM106 in Calgary he moved to a rock format on the FM side of the dial at Z99 in Red Deer, Alberta; hosting the afternoon drive show while continuing national on-camera work. During this stint he met rock icons Robert Plant, David Bowie, Eric Burdon, Wolfman Jack and many others.

In 1992 Toronto's legendary rock station Q107 called & Rory returned home to 'The Mighty Q'. He was now a seasoned radio vet and over the next 5 years built a following in the large Southern Ontario/Western New York market. He hosted prime slots on''Toronto’s Best Rock' – from 'Psychedelic Psunday' to the afternoon & morning drive shows.

'Rockin Ror' expanded his national exposure with syndicated shows 'On Stage Live' and 'Classic Rock Live' as well as augmenting his live event hosting & charity work with The Starlight Foundation & the annual Foundation Fighting Blindness' 'Ride For Sight' motorcycle journey.

In 1998 Rory shifted gears & mediums and went from radio "rock jock" to TV news anchor with Canada’s Weather Network. Although radio was always a passion for Rory he started to focus on television and film acting along with voice over services from his state-of-the-art studio.

He established his own business, imedge communications, to focus on voice over, on-camera & live event hosting in a full time capacity.

He incorporated his love of motorcycling & hosted 3 seasons of 'Free Ride' on Global TV’s Prime Television Network. He has since appeared in acting roles for productions airing on A&E, HBO, BBC, SHOWTIME, LIFE-TV, ABC and ESPN. In television commercials he's pitched everything from Campbell’s Soup with hockey superstar Mario Lemieux, to Budweiser during the NFL playoff schedule.

Rory has been the voice of MasterCard & Tylenol on national radio as well as Time/Warner Cable, Golf Town and Carlsberg on national television. His distinctive voice has narrated shows on PBS, History Television, Discovery Channel, The Outdoor Life Network, SPEED Channel, TV Tropolis and Much More Music.

His diversity and range of characters has allowed him to supply voices for animated projects, video games & children's toys. He has also hosted in-flight programs for Delta Airlines and Air Canada.

His expertise at voice over particularly shines in the complex and challenging specialty of medical narration. His style and tone are the perfect fit for detailed, complex medical tutorials or pharma product launches. He is a favourite among the medical, dental and pharmaceutical communities for relaying their unique messages via PowerPoint, DVD, CBT or on-camera presentations.
