I really don't think it would have been done in one session, if so his voice will start sounding very tired very soon due to him repeating the same line so many times.
It is like the Good Morning America one, the voiceover is recorded and amended when needed, for example when anchors are on location or there is a special edition of the programme. The old ITV News voiceover showed exactly why it was a mistake to record them in bulk.
Clearly its all recorded in one session with a consistent tone of voice, it would make no sense paying for a session per week. How do you think the automated train announcements are done.

It's not some random they've picked from the street, it's a professional voice over, I suspect they can handle it. It's not that many words to record either.

The strain would still come through after a while, which it hasn't. I really think that it is record week by week, or month by month maybe.

No updates were made due to it being made in bulk, which would mean if GMB was done in bulk, no updates will be made.

You're basing this on nothing. The economics of the situation would suggest to me and I'm happy to be proved wrong this probably isn't the case. Commercial broadcasters won't spend money for the sake of it.
Surely no updates were made because they didn't bother to update them, not because they decided to initially do them in bulk.

Five days; thirty one numbers, twelve months, maybe ten years. Even if the dates and months were combined, it's not that many combinations to record.

So you're saying that it is recorded in segments to form a sort of kit of words? That would sound really terrible, which has been proven when Sky News need an emergency voiceover and cut together two totally different ones with stresses and pauses in the wrong places

I make that 68 words. I think even some randomer off the street would be able to read out 68 words without straining their voice.

But it's done all over the place. When things are done in an "emergency", yes, they can sound cobbled together. But when it's designed to be used like this from the start it's dead easy to make it seamless.

And you're saying they'd sound perfectly normal, whatever combination they are in?

Dial 123 from your nearest BT landline. That exact method is used for that. Now imagine some professional editing. This is how they could make it work.
Sky News is different because lots of names have been added over time (reducing consistency), whereas you can plan dates ahead of time, seeing as they don't change.
