About OAN Blurb

While there are many voice actors in Ohio, there were few resources for those who wished to concentrate on producing audiobooks. OAN was initially established to provide education & networking opportunities for Ohio-based narrators and they added to their ranks. They began networking with authors and developed connections with Ohio Writers' Association. This led to OAN's involvement in producing three of OWA's recent anthologies, "Outcasts: An Anthology", "Metamorphosis: An Anthology" and just recently "House of Secrets: Every Room Holds a Story". "Outcasts" recently received a Silver Award from The 2023 HearNow Palooza. Because there is so much interest among the general public, OAN also does speaking engagements at local libraries on the business & art of audiobook production geared toward listeners.
