Evaluation- Representation

As part of my research I had to think carefully about my representation for my radio show. I listened to various types of radio station and listened carefully on how they represent to the audience, the tone of voice they use, young or old, the language they used and as well as the representation of voices for the news, adverts and show presenters etc

Representation

I had to choose my characters very carefully and gave it a lot of thought to make sure they represented the way I wanted them to. I some cases I had to coach some of them to and telling them what tone I wanted them to use for a particular part, in some cases I used the same actor twice but made them change their tone of their voice to make them sound different in the other part I gave them

For my newsreader I picked Jade to play that part who is the English teacher at my college. I wanted to find someone who had a friendly, calm and good tone of voice, so I thought Jade was the best for this as she had these specialties for this



For my station jingle I wanted someone with a powerful and deep voice, something unique that would gain the audience interest so after going through a list of potential people for this part I decided to use my media teacher Alex for this as he can do the tone and voice I wanted the best


Later on the show I used Alex again but for a completely different part of the show. This time I used him for my B&S advert as playing the builder , however I needed to train him in for this part so that he would change his voice from being powerful to a more friendly tone, as you can hear below on the advert the difference in the tone of voice.

 

Again for my Bet24/7 advert I wanted a powerful voice for this one as well, researchinf sport stations a lot of them had a betting advert in it, so I needed a specific deep powerful voice so can attract my audience into it. So I picked my mate Sam for this and again I had to show him and tutor him for the voice/tone he should use for this part.
