Danny Cowan Voice Over

24/05/2024

I have just spent the last half an hour squawking like a parrot (a sarky one at that) ... how's your Friday night going?

20/05/2024

Good morning you beautiful people... just about to throw myself down the M4 once again to entertain, inform and educate the wonderful people of Welsh Wales on BBC TWO WALES tonight and BBC ONE WALES tomorrow and Wednesday night. Whatever your week holds ... I hope it's fabulous x

*** BREAKING NEWS *** The. Tux. Fits! I shall go to the ball ... at least if I don't win tomorrow, I've won at something 😂 (the only thing I have to do now is find my shoes, literally no idea where they are at all)

17/05/2024

Today's the day (not for the awards, that's tomorrow) I find out if I can still fit into the tux! I'll be trying it on tonight and if it doesn't fit ... panic! Please send all your positive thoughts and vibes (for both the tux and award!) Love you x

I am absolutely humbled/stunned/shocked/flabbergasted/delighted/proud that I have once again been shortlisted for a prestigious … the Oscars of the voiceover world if you will.

I’m nominated in the ‘Continuity – Best Overall Performance’ category for my work on BBC One BBC Cymru Wales I am absolutely chuffed but am up against a lot of very talented people, all of whom I would like to congratulate.

I would also like to point out that no Matt Tebbutt’s were harmed in the making of this announcement (he is shockingly handsome for both television and radio)

Now I know it's hard to believe, given the job I do, but I'm actually quite shy and am not one for blowing my own trumpet, so when Mark and Sam first approached me (quite a long time ago) I was very hesitant about doing this, but they really are persistent, and talked me into it.

Now I don't for a second want anyone to think that I am a spokesperson for all things continuity, I'm just lucky enough to have been able to do it for the best part of 20 years (yes, I started when I was 9) and these are just some of my experiences.

Anyway, I hope you like the podcast, it wasn't as terrifying as I had convinced myself it was going to be. Thanks to Mark Ryes and Samantha Boffin - British Voice Actor and Director for allowing me to do it.

In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” Danny Cowan joins Sam and Mark to talk about all things TV continuity - from writing to time, talking to graphics live and changing style for different channels!

There is nothing I hate more than clickbait, it's just so annoying! So for guaranteed full frontal nudity, scenes of a sexual nature and very strong language from the start I would fully encourage you to click below to find out what's going on 😉 www.dannycowan.co.uk ... trust me you'll not be disappointed

​There may not be any strong language or scenes of a sexual nature on this website, but there is lots of the bloke who has spent the last 15+ years making a career out of saying just that … and a few other things as well. Welcome to the World of Danny Cowan Voiceover, Announcer, Narrator.

We had some fun on the wireless and telly last week ....

When working for a large organisation, it's not always easy to have your ideas listened to, or acted upon, but sometimes, your organic idea grows legs and…

Happy everyone, where all the big companies change their logos to add the rainbow flag ... but let's not forget the ones who wear the flag all year round 😉

If you get my reference at the end of tonight's ... Like me, you're probably too old 🤣

18/03/2023

Spending the night in my box with some Queen's of Soul on BBC TWO Wales ... If I wasn't in here playing it out I'd probably be at home watching ... Love music nights 🥰🥰

17/03/2023

Well, I thought today was good enough just being St. Patrick's Day ... But ohhhh no! I've just found out I've been nominated for TWO awards at this year's One Voice Awards! Absolutely chuffed! Congratulations to the other nominees! See you in May! XX ☘️🍀☘️

That ending on BBC EastEnders BBC One though? 😱😱😱 How could you not say something about it? Is it CHRISTMAS yet? Thanks to Nathan Morgan for his speedy clipping service (he's a star) ©BBC

Last year I left my comfort zone and embarked on a terrifying new challenge as an Announcer/Director with BBC Wales. Not only do I have to write my own scripts and talk live on the telly (with multiple counts happening in my ear), but now I also push all the buttons! I know most people think telly just happens, but it involves split-second decisions, talking to time and praying you can hit the network on time. Whilst I know it won't mean a lot to most of you, but I got to do the BBC News countdown twice this week ... which is quite the achievement ... 2 seconds and 20 frames after London! I suppose it's the equivalent of spinning plates whilst juggling and fire-eating all at the same time

A year after starting I have finally finished this audiobook by the fabulous Peter Dickson . I still find it astonishing how our careers have crossed many years apart. From BBC Northern Ireland to Radio 1 & 2 and even E4. When I grow up I'd love to be half as successful as him! By the way ... The book is ruddy hilarious, made even better by Peter reading it himself. If you're in the business or thinking of getting into it, I can highly recommend it! 5*

On this very day 10 (TEN!!!) years ago Greg James and Producer were live on BBC Radio 1 and I was live on Channel 4 and we decided to cause trouble ... the result? Live, interactive, cross-channel broadcasting at its very best (I've literally no idea why I was putting on a posh voice) Here's what went out on Radio 1, there is a video somewhere, but can I find it? Don't be silly! MERRY CHRISTMAS x

A broadcasting first - as BBC Radio 1 and Channel 4 join forces live on Christmas Day to wish each other a Merry Christmas.

Having a bit of fun with the BBC TWO Christmas symbols (idents for the rest of the world) ... introducing a programme about lions 🦁

People are usually surprised when I tell them we do the announcements live on the telly. Here's an example of why we do ... Seconds after the got through tonight (congratulations by the way) This is reactive television ...

25/07/2022

Don't you just hate it when you're innocently working away, minding your own business ... next thing you're plastered all over the Express?

GOGGLEBOX fans looking forward to tuning into the latest episode were met with a disappointing surprise as the Channel 4 announcer explained a "best of 2021" episode would be airing instead.

HAPPY to all the hardworking type people who spend much of their lives in cupboards lifting the words off the page. Please be lovely and throw some work our way

So, I've just been gathering some of my videos together for something exciting (more on that soon) ... but I've just realised the videos I've made with have reached over 1.8 MILLION views. Thank you Netflix 😘

It's been a wee while since my last film for Netflix ... but it was well worth the wait! Here are some fan theories about Stranger Things ... SPOILER ALERT ... if you haven't seen S4 PT1 ... there might be a little bit of a spoiler or two. Enjoy x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RgJCIWxshg&t=98s

Not sure if I mentioned it, but did you know I won an award this year for Best Announcer at the One Voice Awards? I'm absolutely chuffed to bits that I've won 2 years in a row. Please feel free to get in contact if you require any kind of voiceover.

8 days, 2 countries, 5 different tv networks, 12 armed police officers, 400+ miles, 80ish hours, 2 corporations, 3 adverts, 1 newsflash, several changed schedules, and lots of sports things. This whole being unemployed thing is exhausting! Thanks to all those who assisted xx

29/03/2022

Last year I was absolutely over the moon to not only be nominated but to WIN at the One Voice Awards. This year I am absolutely over the moon to be nominated in TWO categories for my work with Channel 4/E4 and Netflix. Absolutely chuffed!
