capes 14 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I've heard the new voiceovers on the chart. The girl is also used on what used to be BBC switch and i'm sure its the guy who is voicing the current Hackney trails and the like. I was hoping to post a few clips but my computer is failing miserably tonight. New Voiceovers are also started on teh Chrt Show a few weeks before they are intoduced in the main schedule if i am right in remembering?The girl is also on the new Chart Show trail and near the end she says Listen, watch, share. They wouldn't commission her to say that just for a trail surely?If this is the case i think they will be in place in April for the new schedule. Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
jw16 10 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I think you're right. David (the current male station voice) has been on air since 2009, and I think Holly (female station voice) has been on for a little longer if I'm not mistaken. After three years I think its time for a bit of change. It'll be interesting to see whether they update the Puretonic 1maging idents with their voices or commision another company for imaging. And you're correct the voice on the Hackney trails is the guy, I'm sure I've heard him around the station before maybe during nighttimes. But yeah I'm all for the change!

Ant L 51 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I have noticed that the 'usual' voiceovers are appearing less and less on new material, so it does seem likely the voices on the Official Chart may well appear across the board soon.Speaking of the chart, does anyone know who does the new imaging?

newsbeat 10 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 It's probably part of their imaging updates; they're in the process of comissioning a new station-wide imaging package.http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/BBC_Radio1_Imaging_2011.pdfHere's the Chart Show one aswell. No idea on who made it though!http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/site/Radio1_Chart_Show_Pitch_2012.pdfHolly has been the female voice since October 2008(!), while David or whatever the male voice is called has been on since June 2009.

capes 14 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thought it was about time Holly and David went. I have never really liked David but Holly is good. At last, a new station imaging package, that PTM stuff is horrific! Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
Ant L 51 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Anyone heard the 'New Sound of BBC Radio 1' promo? Sounding extremely likely we'll hear the new package on 2nd April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newsbeat 10 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone heard the 'New Sound of BBC Radio 1' promo? Sounding extremely likely we'll hear the new package on 2nd April.Yeah, heard that on Moyles' show this morning. It sounds like a very upbeat package, but I can't really say much as I've only heard a few seconds of it when I was half-asleep!

capes 14 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes i heard this yesterday on Scotts show (i think it was!) It sounds like it will be good, although i cant say im convinced by the female voice at teh moment even though she has already been featured on Radio 1 for quite some time Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
capes 14 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 So, tomorrow is the launch for 'The new sound of Radio 1' Lets hope it is a complete over haul including new Newsbeat imaging as well as DJ stuff. We'll see! Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
newsbeat 10 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 New female voice; sounds very good on the Newsbeat imaging. Will give some other shows a listen later on today.

capes 14 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Unfortunatly couldn't listen to any of R1 during today. Only just caught the end of 5.45 Newsbeat and the 10 minute takeover (thought he would've binned that one off tbh!) sounding good so far though! Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
wwcreative 12 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well I must say I like the male voice, but the female one just doesn't sound quite right - especially on the Newsbeat imaging - far too much emphasis on THIS! Made me chuckle with Moyles taking the piss earlier!Also, got to give Chris Smith a hats off for his twitter branded entertainment news imaging earlier today! Bravo!

capes 14 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 aha! Excellent! Well Done! These sound great, much better than that stuff from PTM! We never really heard much from them after the initial stuff, wonder whether R1 fell out with them? They also only lasted about 2 years Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
capes 14 Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 how did you get these by the way? Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
newsbeat 10 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 The last update from Pure Tonic Media was January 2011. Nothing more after that. Basically they created updates in August/Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec 2010 and January 2011, then it all suddenly stopped....

This i have no doubt is the reason. Probably something to do with contracting. Glad PTM went though, their R1 stuff was rubbish Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites

Glad PTM went though, their R1 stuff was rubbishI think the PTM, R1 stuff was really good. I just think it was to commercial for Radio 1. To make the Radio 1 stuff, PT done requires a fair bit of Production talent. Quote What have I got?Bits and Bobs Link to post Share on other sites
capes 14 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yes i suspect it probably does and the way they made individual Ra-Di- O stuff and allowed R1 to make their own stuff was a great idea. ike you say maybe it was too commercial, either way it didn't suit m(even if i did find my self singig along to them in the car!)
