ITV Voiceover

Nearly every single ITV trailer has the same man doing the voiceovers. I'm sure he's an actor, as I have seen him in a recent ITV programme - can anyone clarify this?

I must say he has one of the coolest TV voices, and dare-I-say-it, sexiest? (no, I'm not a sausage jockey!)

He must be rolling in the money with all the v/o work ITV give him.

If you don't know who I'm talking about, download this audio clip:

Not necessarily. In the Meridian region, we have many voiceover people, so think about the other regions next time please.

In London on LWT they have had the same 2/3 announcers since 1986

because they don't broadcast 7 days.

As viewers of YTV, TTTV and GRA will know,

Every trailer for any regional programme is done by the same man, who used to be a continuity announcer at Leeds but now only does trailers

The two best voice over guys are the voice over guy on teh Big Breakfast and Marcus Bently (ok hes a narrator but is the same sort of thing)

It wouldn't matter if you were a 'sausage jockey'. There are a broad spectrum of people on this forum and it wouldnt do to be offending others, would it?

Back to the topic though, I used to know the Continuity man from LWT who re-voiced the trailers that came from other regions. He told me that he used to re-dub the 'Taggart' trailers and would say 'Tonight on ITV' instead of the 'Tonight on Scottish'. Apparently all of the trailers are fed to London before being fed back to the regions.

lol - I've nothing against people with different sexual preferences!
