About Rory O’Shea ~

Rory O’Shea is a seasoned professional voice actor, narrator, broadcaster, and on‑camera presenter with more than 25 years of experience delivering trusted, human storytelling for medical, pharmaceutical, corporate, scientific, legal, broadcast, and documentary content worldwide.

A Lifelong Passion for Storytelling

Rory’s journey into writing and performance began early. At just thirteen years old, he wrote and performed a five‑minute speech titled I Was Born in a Mint, a witty and insightful look at a day in the life of a twenty‑dollar bill. The piece carried him from his Grade 8 classroom to local, regional, and provincial stages, earning top honours and a second‑place finish in the Ontario provincial public speaking finals. That early success sparked a lifelong passion for communication, performance, and making complex ideas engaging and accessible.

Early Professional Acting and Commercial Work

It was during one of these early competitions that acclaimed Canadian actor Syd Brown encouraged Rory to seek professional representation. Shortly thereafter, Rory signed with a talent agent and, by age fifteen, made his television commercial debut—appearing opposite the legendary John Candy in a national Heinz Ketchup campaign. That role marked the beginning of numerous television and commercial appearances throughout his teenage years.

Broadcasting Career: Radio to National Television

By age twenty‑one, Rory’s love of the spoken word led him into broadcasting. In January 1984, he began his radio career on the overnight shift at CKAR/CKQT in Oshawa, Ontario, commuting from Toronto by motorcycle, bus, or train depending on the season. Fourteen months later, his career took him west to Calgary to join the launch team at AM106 All Hit Radio, a major Top 40 station.

In 1988, Rory transitioned from AM to FM radio, moving from hits to rock and from Calgary to Red Deer, Alberta. As “Rockin’ Ror” on Central Alberta’s Home of Rock & Roll, Z99, he became a familiar and trusted on‑air personality.

In 1992, Rory returned to Toronto to join legendary rock station Q107, hosting the popular Psychedelic Sunday program and later filling in on mornings and anchoring the coveted Afternoon Drive slot. His voice became a recognized presence across the Toronto radio market.

National Television: The Weather Network

In 1998, Rory shifted mediums once again, stepping in front of the camera when Canada’s Weather Network relocated its headquarters to Toronto. After a successful audition, he joined the national lineup as an on‑camera presenter, news anchor, and green‑screen performer. He completed formal meteorological training and delivered daily broadcasts to viewers across Canada.

Although Rory left The Weather Network in 2003 to focus on his growing voice‑over business, he has remained one of the network’s branding voices since 2009.

Building a Voice‑Over and Narration Business

Voice‑over had always been part of Rory’s broadcasting work—recording commercials, promos, and special programming for radio and television. As his career evolved, narration became a primary focus. His credits include documentaries for National Geographic, PBS, Discovery Channel, The History Channel, and more, alongside continued film and television acting roles.

In 1999, Rory founded imedge communications inc., offering professional voice‑over and narration services to media outlets, agencies, and corporate clients worldwide. He built a dedicated broadcast‑quality recording studio, providing remote sessions via Source‑Connect and delivering fast, reliable turnarounds.

Wearing many hats—producer, audio engineer, project manager, marketer, and principal talent—Rory combined decades of acting experience with the technical precision honed in radio and television. Over time, he developed a distinctive specialty in medical, pharmaceutical, scientific, technical, and legal narration, where clarity, credibility, and human understanding are critical.
