OohErr 232 Report post Posted December 23, 2016 They've started using new IDs more often now - Dev in particular seems keen, but I also heard on Clara's show this morning. Sounds like the main male voice is the one who sounds like a cross between Chris Eubank and Andi Peters. Not a fan to be honest. I preferred Mike Wooller.

TMD_24 34 Report post Posted December 23, 2016 He sounds like someone who would commit to being on 1Xtra as a voiceover, sounds very celebrity like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMD_24 34 Report post Posted December 26, 2016 Just heard a 2016 review/2017 teaser promo this moring and Rachelle Abbott (The female heard regulaly in the power intros) was voicing it. Highly indicates that the old voiceover's will be gone next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murste 63 Report post Posted January 1, 2017 Just heard a Live Lounge trail on Cel's show with the new voiceovers and there was an "Official Chart of the Year" sting on Dev's show the other day with the new male voiceover. Most of the beds now have new IDs on them now too. Surely it would make sense to launch it properly tomorrow for the new year, the launch of "Jan Slam" and the arrival of Mistajam. Having said that, the changeover of voices has taken so long and been so all over the place that I'm not sure- also seems weird to launch a new sound when the schedule's changed around and the two flagship show presenters are off. We shall see.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TMD_24 34 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 Today was a bank holiday so not really a great time to launch, think we might have to wait next week when they have the normal slots back next week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forde52 41 Report post Posted January 3, 2017 They're certainly dragging this out, last time took a whole day, at this rate it's going to take a whole year ! That aside though, these past few days I've been thinking the amount of Power Intro usage is a bit OTT, or is that just me? Dev started with a new TOH yesterday and continued to play songs with normal Idents between them for at least the first half an hour, and I thought it sounded better!

Dev started with a new TOH yesterday and continued to play songs with normal Idents between them for at least the first half an hour, and I thought it sounded better! I'd agree with you there - power intros tend to make the playlist sound more repetitive, even if they're not. I think the first song at the TOH and BOH would suffice, then do manual segues into the second song. That's what they used to do with the 1tros (although I think back then the segues were premixed). Also, a great anorak tip: Dev's shows are always goldmines for idents and sweepers. He tends to play the new ones, and his segues are usually quite sloppy so there's a bit of a gap between the end of the ID and the start of the song - result: the latest clean jingles in full. 3 bensteele, Anne O Rack and forde52 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See now with NewsBeat being on the half hour as apposed to the TOH it throws this out a bit because I would have the TOH ID after the news, but the news isn't at the TOH (unless it's the 15min). So i'd have a TOH ID at the TOH, maybe follow that with a Power Intro or usual DJ/Show IDs. And then out of the news have a DJ/Show ID that flows into a Power Intro because they all say BBC Radio 1 anyway (similar to what they did with Gregs shows, but so much better).

I think it could work quite easily though and wouldn't require that much more effort to accomplish! TOH - Top Of Hour (so like 12:00:00 or 16:00:00). BOH - Bottom Of Hour!? 1 bensteele reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Pannell 23 Report post Posted January 11, 2017 Scroll to 1:01:00, Stefan finishes Newsbeat and the first song played is Roar by Katy Perry (as much as I loathe the song). These are the sort of power intros I don't mind. My Way by Calvin Harris is also a good power intro example. 1 bensteele reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the intro, not amazing but i do prefer these two voices to the 'Chris Eubank/Andi Peters' sounding man. Too much production can sound a bit gimicky i feel.

bensteele 46 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 When they're overproduced, it reduces that raw, live feeling of it. And they've been increasing three songs across all non-specialist shows from what I've heard! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
