Ordering Voice (Watch Video)
This Instructional Video on Ordering Professional Voicing will guide you clearly through the process.

Once your team setup is complete, choose "Order Professional Voicing > All Players" and follow instructions from there. It will force you to voice each players, as that voicing will be heard by the announcer just before recording each player and will ensure the pronunciation is right the first time (so make sure you know how to pronounce every name before ordering). You will receive an email with a link that will take you to a web page where you can complete your order. The web page gives a variety of options for voice format (Now Batting, Now Pitching, with or without team name, etc), a choice for SuperVoice, as well as a choice of 8 different major league announcers (with samples). You may also enter special instructions or comments that will be delivered to the professional announcer before he or she voices your team. Your team will be voiced within 24 hours and often within an hour.
When voicing is complete, you will receive an email with a link. Simply open this email on the same device as BallparkDJ and click on the link and your voiced team will be imported. If there is any problem with a players introduction, simply request a redo from the Actions menu. If a player is added, simply choose “Actions > Order Professional Voicing > Some Players”. If you discover a name is mispronounced or a number is wrong, that is easy to fix. Click here to for details.
