Important Note: SuperVoice Is Here….and Includes Full-Team Pre-Game Introductions: SuperVoice not only combines your professional introductions with every imaginable event for your sport, but it also creates a full-team pre-game introduction automatically.

Watch this Instructional Video on Pre-Game Intros.

BallparkDJ makes it easy to create professional pre-game intros that introduce the full team while one song plays in the background through all players. This works great for any team sports: football, baseball, softball, hockey, soccer, basketball, or even cheerleading. This Instructional Video demonstrates how easy it is to set this up and the list below documents the steps needed to make this happen. We recommend you read thru instructions once and then come back and read again while going step by step in BallparkDJ.
Add all players to your team with name and number.
Order professional voicing by choosing "Actions > Order Voicing (All Players)" and follow the instructions to complete the order. On the page choose the order type of either Pre-Game Intros or SuperVoice. The Special Instructions will be automatically populated with your Pre-Game Team Intro. Make any adjustments to that Team Intro and the announcer will see that when voicing.
You will receive your voiced team back within 24 hours (often within an hour). Once you have the voiced team imported, you may attach your teams favorite song to the first player (Team Intro) and it will play through all introductions.
MUSIC SETUP: When setting up music on first player (Team intro), choose "Play Entire Song" and start the song where you wish (generally at the beginning, at offset 0). Also, set the overlap to where you want the music to begin relative to Team Intro. And last, set the relative volume to your preference. Make sure there is no music for any other player except the first player. (NOTE: It is no longer required to setup just the first player with a full song. Each player can be setup with their own song. But the intros tend to work better with just one song playing throughout.)
Ensure that the team is set to "Continuous Play" mode at the bottom right.
Now you’ree ready. Simply tap the the top player (Team Intro) and the full team introductions will play in order along with the music. Below are some additional tips....
Want Coaches Intros, or want to include the batting order and/or position to pre-game intros? See this Instructional Video on Pre-Game Add-Ons.
If you have already ordered voice introductions and used the format of just name and number, you can simply duplicate that team and have one team for in-game use, and another for pre-game intros. If you ordered voice but used a format that includes “Now Batting”, you should still duplicate team, but then you’ll probably want to order voicing again (on the duplicate), this time using just the name and number format for pre-game intros. And if you’re in that situation, ordering SuperVoice for a discount is probably your best approach.
You may duplicate the team and use it for announcing a players name after they’ve scored or made a big play. Just choose Actions > Duplicate Team and give the team a slightly different name like “Braves (Goal)”. Now you can combine each player with a single song clip if you wish. When the player scores, just tap their name.
You can edit the order of player introductions by clicking the Edit button at top right and then dragging the thumbs up and down to adjust order. If you do so, make sure the first player on the team is the only one that ends up with the music.
The song will continue playing through the line-up and will continue until the user taps the STOP button or the song ends.
