Throughout my research and planning for my Radio Show I had to make different choices with the concern of which voice sounds best for each part. When writing my Script, all ideas that came into mind I would write down along the margin of the page of who would be the best person for each part. It was important to get the write characters for the parts so that the Radio sounded the best it could. For each Characters role I asked at least 3 people to do it, and then I picked whoever i thought was best for the role.
When looking for my Show Presenter I had a vague idea of how i wanted it to sound. I was certain that I wanted a Female for Show Presenter because of the Genre and target audience, it made most sense. I needed to find a female that is able to be serious, and also able to sound professional so that the radio show sounded authentic. I chose to use Gabriella Steinbock who is one of the students at my school as i feel that she sounds very profesional and who has a warm voice which is easy to relate to for the audience. 
After picking my Show Presenter, I thought that the next important thing to find is someone for my Jingle. I chose to use my Teacher Alex, as i find that he has a profesional tone to his voice, and is able to ensure that the Jingle sounds as authentic as possible.
I then picked my News Presenter. I knew that I wanted someone who sounded most realistic for a news presenter. I knew that a Man would suit best because of the tone of their voice. Finally I picked one of my friends Nathaniel Schimmel who has a soothing and still a serious tone to his voice. I made sure that he did not read too quickly and he annunciated every word perfectly.
When making my Adverts, I also had to make sure that each characters voice was perfect. For my Boots advert I had to ask my Sister and my teachers daughter to come into school so that i could use them for recording. This is because during my Boots advert, there are children who speak. I felt that by bringing them into record was better than asking a girl to put on a child's voice, this was so that it sounded more authentic and realistic. When doing my Tesco advert, I had to ensure that the voice over for the advert sounded as close to someone from Tesco's adverts as possible. Luckily one of the teachers from School, Cris has a friendly and clear voice which is perfect for the Tesco Advert.
For some some of the Voxpops i asked my Mom to come into school to record for me, this is because i feel that she has a very official voice and she also speaks very calmly and soothing voice. I also used the Drama Teacher, Louise to do the Old Lady's voice from one of the news stories. Louise has experience in doing different types of voices and also made it sound so realistic.
It took me along time to find people to be in the Radio. I preferred to use mostly Adults because they have more of a Mature voice and are able to be more serious when recording. However, I did still use students in school because for some parts they sounded best and matched the criteria of the stories I was trying create.
