Why Jon & Kris?

Why Jon in the morning?
Jon has created a personality which he plays in the morning called Boris.
Originally he wanted to create a large over exaggerating character who was obsessed with buses, however this character we felt would be too over powering and most likely annoy listeners. However we have suited the character to the genre of music and time of day, such as his mode of address and the use of voice. He has quite a melodic voice and speaks with a calm steady space which is appropriate for morning, also Jon is a quick thinker and able to react on impulse this is helpful when a problem might occur and we need to cover it up.
However I do feel Jon’s sense of humour isn’t always appropriate and therefore we will draft script him so that he knows what to say but can also add his own personal input to a conversation.
Jon is able to play with the pitch of his voice, however he tends to keep a clear monotone voice for most of it, but especially when talking to guests he shows his over excitement by speeding up the pace he talks and raising his voice to a near shout. He tends to use upward inflexion to provoke our guests into thinking for them selfs. We chose to give him guests because his voice can sometimes become dull, but the excitement shines through his voice very well and this makes it more interesting to listen to.

Why Kris in the afternoon?
Kris is simply being himself, his normal personality is chatty and he talks very fast with a common accent, he can experiment with his voice to make it interesting however he does it to add in comical effect. Kris is a presenter that we feel can relate to the audience we hope to attract in the afternoon. However there is a contrast between him and the music, because we wanted to a range of genres and contrast hip hop with indie but Kris’ style is drum n base mixed with hip hop. So we have taken a risk using him as the main presenter.
But I do feel it will be a success because of his personality being so diverse and his ability to rap and talk very fast mixed in with his style of presenting and variety of music hopefully should create a lively show.
The pitch of Kris's voice is quite deep, however he speeds the pace of it up very fast and is really playful with the projection of his voice, I think this is an amzing quality to be able to do. The correct space we are supposed to present on the radio is 3 words a second however I feel Kris talks quicker than this but because of our target audience being teenagers, I feel whatever speed Kris feels natural our audience will understand and therefore be intrigued to continue to listen.

I feel both presenters are well suited to their show, and will individualy have a succesful show.
