Shortlist Model & Talent Agency

Shortlist Model and Talent Agency, LLC is a San Francisco Bay Area-based model and talent agency founded in 2017. Originally established to represent VO talent, real people, real families, and children, due to industry changes caused by the pandemic, Shortlist is now 100% dedicated to Voices. We represent voices that people enjoy listening to, voices that have the ability to turn off their "sales mode" and turn up their "people person" voice. Our founder, Lana Barkhordarian Burstein, has nearly ten years of experience as a broadcast producer and has worked with casting directors and talent agents to hire talent for TV, radio, and web spots for clients such as Mini Cooper, Apple, Dignity Health, and AAA. With a reputation for having an ear for VO and an eye for on-camera talent, Lana is committed to improving talent and client experiences through her passion for people and efficiency. In addition to her professional pursuits, Lana enjoys running trails, painting, and Pinterest-ing.
