ProComm’s New Home on the Web: www.procommvoices.com

by Chris Porter on August 30, 2010

We’ve moved! ProComm has relocated its website from www.procommss.com to www.procommvoices.com. The old web domain will redirect to the new domain. We felt it was time to make the change in order to reflect our emphasis on providing top quality voice talent and voice over services.

Founded in 1980 by ProComm President John Brooks, ProComm Studio Services has provided voice talent casting and production services for thousands of clients throughout the years, including the PGA Tour, Verizon, Anheuser-Busch, QVC, IBM, and more.

What does the change mean to you?

If you like to hear from us from time to time, please change your email address book to reflect the new domain, with @procommvoices.com replacing @procommss.com. That will help keep our correspondence out of your SPAM folder.
