Narrations on the HD STAR
« on: June 03, 2010, 08:17:23 PM »
Jim Cantore confirmed to me on his twitter account that he did the narrations for the soon to be released HD STAR. I am quite excited to hear what its going to sound like!

He needs to do the narrations for the Warning Ticker on the IS.

That's really awesome! :thrilled: Not that Allan Jackson's are bad, but I think it will be neat to have Jim narrate. :yes:

I can't wait to view the HD STAR hopefully as soon as this weekend once my HDTV cable is switched out for a SD one since my HDTV is messed up.

So why exactly is Jim doing the narration?  I think his voice is more for like, severe weather...not reading the current conditions.

How about really to yourself.  At least he had something to say related to the topic.  Not just trying to pick a fight...

I wonder how these will sound. :D I hope they aren't too dramatic seeing it's Cantore doing them.  :hmm:

Oh and Andy, did you read Martin's topic on the TWC HD sub-board. :P

I'm not trying to pick a fight. It's long been established that people find the narration very useful, so I don't see how anyone can be surprised the HD STAR would indeed have narration.

Well the HD Beta that NYC uses didn't have narration so I would've thought the actual HD STAR wouldn't have any music hogging narration either. (not that the music is good anyways)

based off of what I remember, that Star is just a test and the actual HD Star that will be released may not look anything close to NY's HD Star...
