How can I insert the team name into my SuperVoice introductions?
Now Batting … For the Cambridge Bears … Number 17, Jordan Payne
Inserting the team name is not an automatic option when ordering SuperVoice, but some users would at least like the option to include team name when they choose to. The simple instructions below will result in a SuperVoice team that includes the team name.
If you’d like to insert the team name into the SuperVoice introductions between the event (like “Now Batting”) and the number and name, follow these instructions. Create a new team. Give it the same name as your original team name but give it a subtitle like “Sound Bites”. So if your original team was “Cambridge Bears” your new team would be named “Cambridge Bears” but with a subtitle of “Sound Bites”.
Now add a player to your soundbites team that reflects how you want the team name inserted into your announcements such as “For The Cambridge Bears” and use your voice to record what you would like said so the announcer knows exactly how to pronounce the team name.
(Note: You may choose to add several players to this team with different formats such as “For The Bears” and “For Cambridge”. This will give you the flexibility to dynamically choose one of the three each time you play the intros).
Then order just that one player (or players) with Actions > Order Professional Voice and complete the order, making sure to choose the same announcer you chose on SuperVoice order. You do NOT need to order SuperVoice with this player. Just pay the 3.99 only. And choose the format of just number/name.
Once you get that introduction back, you can go into your SuperVoice team and edit the FIRST player on the team to insert the team name as the middle component in SuperVoice as seen below. Then adjust the overlap appropriately with the SuperVoice team above it and the player name/number below.
Once you have the first player on the team setup like you like, you can quickly apply that setup to all the other players automatically using SuperVoice Wizard. Chose Actions > SuperVoice > SuperVoice Wizard > Apply Wizard. Now all your players should have the team name inserted.
You may consider first duplicating your SuperVoice team and having one team which includes the team name and one that does not so you can go back and for as you wish on game day. If you want to preserve your SuperVoice team without the team name, just duplicate your team (Actions > Duplicate) and give the duplicate a subtitle like “Team Name” and then follow the instructions to insert the team name (and apply to others using SuperVoice Wizard).
Note, if you ordered several different formats of the Team Name intro, then you would insert a Team Component (“Cambridge Bears: Sound Bites”) instead of the Player Component (“For The Cambridge Bears”). This would result in you being given the option of dynamically choosing which of the three formats you wish to use each time you play an intro.
