Own Voice Only (narrator) shows "as" instead of "voices"

I have no way of knowing on the 1st one who the Narrator is suppose to be right now? However I have had no problem with this you just put "Narrator" in the second box where it asks for the name a second time, then scroll down and put a check in the "Voices Only" box. This way Narrator shows and it will shows voices Narrator. Is this what you mean Michael?

No not really

Because Komen Eten is a show that allready had 3 different narrators, so you'll have 3 persons playing the same character, but it's not really the same character as they're just themself and talk over to give some extra info and tell some jokes.

I'm sorry if my explanation isn't that clear :S

Well, you create a character's guide for each, right ? It's not going to be confusing them. If it were the case, procedural shows, medical shows with extras playing emts, nurses, uniform cops etc would be total messes.

If you had attributes (for years/seasons), you'd have a better way to deal with them but that's not here yet.

And same goes for Hosts that change or narrators in that case. If's it a narrator, don't you know it's only his voice anyway, do you need to check voice in that specific case ?

In this specific case you're both right

But what I really ment was that if you both check "appearing as him/herself" and "only voice" it then shows PersonName as Himself instead of PersonName voices Himself

OK let me try this one more time. DO NOT put a check in playing him/herself leave it Blank, put "Narrator" in the second box and then a check in voice only. When you look at ALL 3 they all show their real names with Narrator underneath. You do not have to have it show their name twice or him/herself because Narrator in conjunction with Voice only automatically means that person was playing themselves but by voice only does this make sense now?
If not than I will do it for you and you can see what happens?

No I understand what you're saying, but that's not what I meant in my post.
Maybe it's my crappy English :P

But I just meant that it always says voices if you check the "voice only"-checkbox, but if you also check the "appearing as him/herself"-checkbox the as is more important, but I think the voices needs to show always if that checkbox is checked

It's just a tiny change that needs to be done in the code I think... :-)

It is NOT necessary to select "Person is appearing as him/herself" when you select "This credit is for voice only". You just put in Narrator in the Character box" and a check in the "This credit is for voice only" box and that is it.
DO NOT select BOTH "Person is appearing as him/herself" and "This credit is for voice only"! I have done it on those 3 people for you see if this is what you want and remember it DOES NOT have to show "Person is appearing as him/herself" because it is automatically assumed that they are playing themselves! I could not be playing anyone else!

You could have the voice of 2 different characters, but this time they have their own voice so...

I have no idea what you are saying but does it look like what you want?

No it doesn't actually :S

Maybe David or Jan know what I mean?

Does this example demonstrate the "as" you are talking about? Check out the Special Guest Stars. Ideally I think it should display Barbara Streisand voices herself.

Yes it should indeed display Barbara Streisand voices herself :-)

Fixed!
