Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help, i used to have a list of the old station voice names but i cant seem to find it now. Does anyone have this information, i know David Cameron Walker, Jodie Latham and Holly Meyrick but thats it.

If anyone can help, that would be great

It's funny this thread is going on at the moment- I'm not 100% sure, but I think there might be a new female voice over on the way. Have a listen to this, especially the "one" at the end of the ID. It doesn't sound like the normal female VO, so could she be replaced soon? I've heard her doing the "one" on one of the top of the hour song-ramps (those songs with the extended intro they play as the third song each hour) as well.If she is about to be replaced, it could be why they don't play as many sweepers at the moment (there are virtually none with One Big Weekend live tracks at the top of every hour).

In a way I kind of hope there is a new female VO on the way, Never really liked the current one! I don't think she'll live up to Holly though, she suited Radio1 perfect! I like how Dev still uses Holly and David on his opening ramp on weekend breakfast like he did on early breakfast!

I also like that, but it's a shame he didn't keep the funky intro bed he used on Early Breakfast (

), it was really cool. He could've used that ramp at other points in the show instead, but oh well, at least he's keeping some stuff from the old show.

I remember Dev used to have some really good cheesy beds for his show, but now he always uses the boring R1 Generic Beds. I don't know how long ago he stopped using them, definitely whilst he was still on Early Breakfast, but it's a shame, because it gave his show a distinctive sound. I wish DJ's would be more interesting with bed choices, the only ones who use different ones to the generic beds are Grimmy and *shudders* Gemma Cairney. And I never thought I'd be praising Gemma Cairney.

Yeah, I like that too, but it's a shame he got rid of that funky intro bed he used on early breakfast (

), that was great. Adele Roberts used it when she sat in last week. He could still use that ramp at other points in the show, but oh well, at least he's kept some stuff from the old show.

Holly and David are also still on the I'm Here All Week jingles, formerly of Dev, that Gemma Cairney has nicked on early breakfast.

Isn't this 'one' just an edited version of Holly? It sounds similar to her, they are using editied versions of old voiceovers now and again. Louis Mellis is constantly used as a 'one' voice

I did wonder if it was the pre-Holly voiceover.

Saying that, recent imaging hasn't contained much of the current female voiceover. The Weekend Breakfast Show's jingles are all voiced by the male.

Mike works at Radio 1 i believe so it's probably just easier and cheaper to use him. I've listened a few times now and im pretty certain its the old female voice, not a new one. That said, we're over due a change now!

Are these people that do the voices employed by Radio 1?

Or are they just a production company?

Eh? They're all individuals, most of them have an agency, yes, but they aren't all a big production company. For Mike Wooller (the best one IMO) especially, they're not allowed to voice things for other radio stations (exclusivity).

    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
    • Frozen Indigo Angel... Whoooooooo?!!
    • Did it take a lot of tempting to go to Capital Jordan? Did you feel like you’d achieved everything you could at Radio 1 (other than breakfast)? Chris, how did your Capital move come about? Did Radio 1 want you to stay after Scott moved on?

    • I never expected to be enjoying a commercial radio Breakfast Show, but this is a good listen and less adverts than I might have expected.
    • It's got more of a Fri/ Sat feeling to it, for me. But there's nothing inherently wrong with the show.
