Baidu Zhidao:

OS=Oral Soliloquy
独白、口白、旁白
也就是一个人自言自语
像是歌曲有时会配上歌手讲话、或是戏剧有时主角会开始出现内心戏的独白等等
----------------------------------

Editor: An "inner voice" is generally not audible to others, and it's not a theatrical device, as an OS is.

Example of OS:

(towards the end of the 43-second clip)

See gloss 1b in MW's definition of "voice-over".
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/voice%E2%80%93over

But "voice-over" on its own would most likely be taken to mean something quite different – "a piece of narration in a film or broadcast, not accompanied by an image of the speaker", as one dictionary puts it.
Diff:
# OS OS [o s] /inner voice/voice in head/
+ ! OS OS [O S] /(in a soap opera or movie) voice-over that makes a character's unspoken thoughts audible to the audience/
