So, for our OTS, we need a narrator to introduce the characters briefly. Looking at some other children's tv programme narrators, they all seem to sound rather similar! They all seem to use received pronunciation - which is probably indicative of the times - but also they have rather colourful and expressive voices. Narrators in shows such as Mr Benn, Bagpuss and Button Moon all have this certain sound to them and this was something we wanted to replicate for our show.
Also, considering things such as sentence structure, we thought 'Trumpton' was a good example to use for how we would like ours to be.
For example, it uses repetition and simple sentence structure and these are two things we are keen to use in our narrating.
We have chosen John as our narrator. His voice sounds very stereotypically suitable for children's tv :)
Here is a brief clip of his voice.
We took recordings of him saying a LOT of different phrases, in different tones etc so then in the editing process we can create the best version possible.
