Versaly adds Valentino Sound Effects to mobile ringtone library
Seattle, WA — July 22, 2003 — Versaly Entertainment, a wireless new media company focused on creating, publishing and distributing broad-based entertainment to mobile phones, announced today it has signed an agreement with Valentino Production Music, Inc., a publisher of over 70,000 sound effects for the TV and Feature Film industries. Versaly will produce, sell and distribute hundreds of their sound effects for use as mobile phone ringtones.
According to the Wall Street Journal, "When you hear most any sound other than a human voice on television, radio, in the movies or theatre, there's a good chance that it was developed in the Valentino Studios." Drawing from 70 years of Valentino Movie experience, Versaly will bring to market the most popular sound effects including:
Humorous "human noises"; Domestic, zoo and exotic animal sounds; Familiar household, background, environmental and office sounds; Laughter, audience applause and crowd cheers; Airplane, boat, car and other vehicle and machinery sounds; and World famous speech excerpts from J.F.K., Nixon, Reagan, Lou Gerhig and others.
Matthew Feldman, president of Versaly said, "There is so much fun content to choose from. This will provide our customers with an enormous amount of entertaining sounds that we all enjoy from everyday life."
Tom Valentino, president of Valentino Inc. adds, "Our more than 70 years in the publishing and production of both music and sound effects audio clips in archival library format enables us with the unique ability to provide a massive collection of sound for the ringtone industry. Our new relationship with Versaly is very important for us in that it provides our company the opportunity to partner with one of the most important mobile entertainment organizations in the world. Versaly is a forward-looking company, especially to the next generation mobile technology, and we are proud to be a member of the Versaly-partner family."
Versaly will distribute Valentino ringtones through the ForFones retail sales web-to-phone service, located at www.forfones.com and other co-branded web-to-phone sites, such as CNET.com. Additionally, these ringtones will be offered through Versaly’s 40+ wireless carrier relationships in the USA and around the world.
