Greg James does it for Dave TV. Chappers does it for that worlds worst sports accident show. Scott does it for TMF's top 40 and I'm sure Edith does it for Curry's adverts. I've onyl just realised how many of Radio 1's presenters do these things, are they trying to put voice over man out of a job? And can anyone think of anymore?

Zane does loads of adverts. One that springs to mind is the Kings of Leon new album plus quite a few others. Think he does more on mtv2?

I think most of the Radio 1 lineup exept from Moyles (yet) do adverts. Edith is on Comet not Currys BTW! Jo Whileys annoying voice is on most bands adverts, zanes is too but he sounds less like himself on them. Scott was on a commercial too recently but i've forgotten who for, could have been another band.

Yeah, I pretty sure he does do that one

Ima not too sure, sometimes it does sound like his voice but then other times not :|

They should have these things posted on a website!

We could always email the company. I emailed clearsil to find out what language the advert was originally recorded in before it was dubbed in english.

No. They're not.

They use them because people know the voice so when they're advertising their product, people think "aah, that's Greg from R1. Let's buy it"

Most voiceovers are radio presenters anyway. Only exceptional voiceovers can get a salary they can live off by just doing voiceovers.

Greg also does Keane's album.

Sarah Cox did Sun Bingo last year and im sure Fearne Cotton did some beauty product.

Sara Cox also did the "if you smoke, your children are likely to smoke" adverts

Jo Whiley does the Next ad. Obviously they do lots of vo's for albums, like Jo did the Newton Faulkner ad.

One of the old Entertainment presenters then became a voice over artist as well.

Edit: Jo does Dairylea Dunkers as well

She did that skinny cow stuff too.

I remember The Script advert quite well that Jo voiced. "This is The Script - Ireland's hottest new band". Don't know why that sticks in my mind so much.

isnt it weird hearing a voice you recognise on an advert!

Surely they should be getting paid enough from radio, tv presenting etc to not need to do adverts as well? but I love the idea of Edith sitting at home surrounded by free comet goods!

They might very well get paid enough from the presenting work, it does their reputation no harm if they do (credible) adverts as well, and after all we all have bills to pay. Can you imagine how much Greg's car insurance must be? under 25 and a broadcaster lol

Not impressed with censorship

Depends he might be able to credit himself as a voiceover artist and get it cheaper.....

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
