squiggle 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 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?

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

MissCorsham 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 I keep hearing Jo Whiley here and there, isnt there a sofa one she does? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest inxces4308 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkAngelMJH 12 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah, I pretty sure he does do that oneIma not too sure, sometimes it does sound like his voice but then other times not :| They should have these things posted on a website!

MissCorsham 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraz- J 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 Zane does do Guitar Hero Scott did the Michael Jackson Greatest Hits one too. Which I thought was hilarious! Quote www.drainpipeclothing.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alexj 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 are they trying to put voice over man out of a job?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.

Rik 10 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jono 36 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 Sarah Cox did Sun Bingo last year and im sure Fearne Cotton did some beauty product.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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

augusta92 10 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 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!

cxx666 10 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 Surely they should be getting paid enough from radio, tv presenting etc to not need to do adverts as well? 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 Quote Not impressed with censorship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
