The voiceover isn't right, 'in the studio' doesn't work unless they are referencing a specific studio. I'd have had " This is a special edition of ITV News at Ten, with Julie Etchingham at the Catican...and Mark Austion...in London."


Well Mark Austin isn't exactly going to be presenting from the moon is he? And 'In London' sounds like he's presenting outside of the studio especially since Julie is at the Vatican.

The ITV News studio is a specific studio, isn't it?


I mean a specific studio, for example NBC Today's V/O for the Papal coverage was "From NBC News, this is a special edition of TODAY, The Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI with Matt Lauer in Studio 1A and Savannah Guthrie, live from the Vatican

What are you on about? "In the studio" references the studio the news comes from. ITV News has one usual studio - they're not going to be presenting it from the Daybreak set, are they?

Today is always from 1A anyway so there would be no reason for it to have a voice-over change, and 'Live from Studio 1A' has been used by Today for as long as I remember.

I believe the voiceovers are recorded down an ISDN line from her home recording studio.


The normal ones were done at ITN but the special ones with most probably be done from home.

No they weren't. All of the new female voiceovers have been done via ISDN. The old voiceover guy used to visit ITN to record them, though.

That isn't what the female artist said, she said she recorded at ITN so I was going off that.

The line 'Mark Austin in the studio' just doesn't sound right to me, 'in London' or 'at ITN' or something, just not 'in the studio'

I think you'll be in a minority of one there. Reporters have said stuff like "now back to Mark in the studio", for as long as I can remember.

Yes they do, but when its announced as the official voiceover, I don't think it works.

It works perfectly well. even more so now since they changed the voiceover from male to female. There was no special voiceovers post 2009 era when presenters went abroad and were presenting.

It does work. It works, and has worked, very well in this country for various different news organisations. Maybe the obsessive person in you needs to know the studio number in the announcement, but that's primarily an American thing.

I'm all for special voiceovers, but IMO 'in the studio' isn't right, maybe it is the way it was said in that specific recording, but I wouldn't have gone for that.
