On Hold Messages That Turn Wait Time Into Opportunity
COHM is a professional audio production company specializing in on hold messages, IVR recordings, and voice branding for businesses across North America. For over 40 years we’ve helped organizations of every size, from small businesses to national brands, sound polished, professional, and on-brand. We handle everything: scripting, real human voice talent, production, and delivery. You do nothing except sound great.
We offer a full suite of audio services including in-store music, on hold messages, IVR recordings, custom radio and digital audio, and podcast production. Every service is built around one goal: making sure every caller, customer, and listener walks away with a stronger impression of your brand.
In an industry where third-party platforms, API connections, and cloud-based tools have become the norm, knowing where your data actually goes matters. At COHM, the answer is simple: it never leaves us. Everything is handled in-house, from the first word of your script to the final delivered audio file with no external systems involved at any stage.
For businesses where security, ethics, and customer experience are non-negotiables, COHM is built for you.

Hear What Our Clients Have to Say
Frequently Asked Questions
An on hold message plays while your callers wait on the line, replacing silence or generic music with professionally scripted, human-voiced content. It can include business hours, promotions, service highlights, and FAQs — all delivered in your brand voice. Studies show callers are significantly less likely to hang up when they hear relevant, well-produced audio.
We recommend a 3–4 minute message loop — long enough to share meaningful information, short enough to stay engaging if a caller hears it more than once. COHM scripts are written specifically to hold attention, not just fill time.
Pricing depends on your needs — one-time productions, seasonal updates, or a full ongoing audio branding plan. COHM offers flexible options for single-location small businesses and multi-location national brands alike. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your setup.
Yes — completely. We research your brand, write your script, present voice auditions, and produce the final audio. Most clients are not involved beyond a single review and approval. We do the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
Yes. COHM delivers audio files formatted specifically for your system — whether you’re on VoIP platforms like RingCentral or 8×8, cloud-based services, or traditional PBX hardware from Mitel, Cisco, or Avaya. If you’re not sure what you need, just ask — we’ll figure it out for you.

Proprietary Technology. Human Results.
Most audio production companies speed up delivery by plugging into public AI APIs, putting your scripts and brand data at risk and leaving your workflow vulnerable to broken connections at any point. COHM took a different approach entirely.
We custom built our own proprietary production software, designed specifically for professional voice audio. These tools eliminate the slow manual bottlenecks of traditional audio editing without ever removing the human touch. Our master producers use this technology to clean, master, and deliver flawless human vocal files faster and better than ever before. No third-party platforms, no data exposure, no broken API risks, and no compromise on quality.
The result is the perfect fusion of high-speed delivery and uncompromised human artistry, built in-house and protected by design.
Irreplaceable Human Artistry. Unbreakable Continuity.
Brand voice continuity is one of the most overlooked risks in audio production. When a voice talent retires or becomes unavailable, most businesses are forced to re-record their entire phone system, training library, or branded content from scratch. COHM eliminates that risk entirely.
We build bespoke brand voices driven strictly by live human talent. Using advanced voice preservation technology, we create a secure private vault for your brand's verbal identity, activating only if your voice talent retires, becomes unavailable, or can no longer fulfill their role. Your brand sound never relies on public platforms, never sounds generic, and is fully protected against the unexpected. Give your brand the human voice it deserves today, with the absolute certainty that your identity will never fade.
Our position on ethics isn't just a marketing statement, it's backed by real advocacy. COHM's President serves as an AI Technical Advisor for CAVA, actively working with Canadian lawmakers to shape legislation around biometric data protection, AI voice rights, and data security standards for businesses. When we say we do things the right way, we mean it at a policy level, not just a product level.
The result is a boutique audio experience that most large platforms simply can't offer, personalized, secure, ethically produced, and built to make your callers feel like they matter.
That's the COHM difference.
Your Data is Safe. Your Brand is Yours.
AI is everywhere right now and most businesses sound like it. Robotic menus, generic voices, and automated experiences that feel disconnected from the brand behind them. Callers notice. And in a world where every competitor is reaching for the same AI shortcut, the businesses that stand out are the ones that use today's technology thoughtfully with the consumer experience at the forefront.
That's exactly what COHM does.
We are a human-first audio production company with ethics at the centre of everything we do. Our default is always real, professional voice talent because we believe it delivers a superior experience for your callers and protects the reputation you've worked hard to build.
COHM is built for businesses that treat security, ethics, and customer experience as non-negotiables, not afterthoughts. Because the companies that grow are the ones their customers trust.
