Sisanie Voicetracking

allyoop said:
Wow. Somebody's in love with her.

She's very talented but started out in a top 10 market. Not exactly respectable in the "paying your dues" sense.

She is also extremely cocky.

This young lady is becoming more & more popular each day! She even has her own personal thread on this forum!

Anyway, seriously speaking though, she does a midday show Mon - Sat on a few radio stations, and is nationally syndicated on over 50 radio stations nationwide. She seems to have a pretty decent radio personality and will be successful with radio.

A little more I can tell about Sisanie... Very talented, fun person / personality, and in somewhat of an unrelated note, she is also very beautiful, just in case anyone was wondering. In most cases, a name says a lot about a person, and I think that is why the name caught my attention and stood out to me to begin with. If it were something like "Kim", or "Debra", ..."Julia", or "Demetrius", I probably would have never remembered the name. She seems like everything a Sisanie would be... if that makes any sense.

Frankie V is another great on-air personality, and is definitely worth a listen, along with Sugarbear from KZON, who seriously deserves much more attention than he currently receives on radio at the moment.

....And - before this has the chance to get any further, I want to take time make it extremely clear that:

I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH FRANKIE V!

Let me make that very clear now. Yes, he's a good on-air personality, maybe even better than the Infamous Sisanie in some ways, but

I SAY THIS WITH AN UNBLEMISHED STAUNCH OF HETEROSEXUALITY!

So, don't think that just because I'm in lo.. I MEANT, I admire Sisanie's success, that also means that.... that... I... ok I don't know exactly where I was going with this.

She's also on overnights on WAKS/96.5 in Cleveland.

Midnight-6 AM early Monday morning, and 2-6 AM the rest of the week...before her, midnight-2 AM Monday-Friday late nights, it's another KIIS'er, "JoJo on the Radio"...presumably also a Premium Choice offering.

I'm wondering if anyone's managed to track the PC jocks as a whole. I haven't confirmed it, but I believe Cleveland's own Don "Action" Jackson (WMJI) does the PC overnight VT shift for the company's classic hits stations.. He's been spotted on Pittsburgh's "3WS" in that time slot, by one of our readers, and I'm pretty sure he's also on KLOU/St. Louis via the same route.

This is in addition to his existing VT work for sister station WBBG/106.1 "Big 106.1" in the Youngstown market.

But since we're on the CHR board, a question: Are Kiss/Cleveland jocks showing up in the PC rotation anywhere? I know Kasper and Joel are on XM 21...

Unlike the majority of the PC formats where it seems as if a vast array of jocks/markets are represented, the CHR PC seems to be made up of jocks from Z100/NYC and KIIS/LA - and that's it. (Yes, Billy The Kid is now at KISS/Dallas, but he landed PC nights while doing nights at Z100. Had Romeo still been at Z, he would be nights on the CHR PC, not Billy.) Anyway, it all seems a bit snooty, no? There's a "The best jocks are only in Market 1 and 2" mentality in play with the CHR Premium Choice line-up.
 
That's a shame about PC jocks only being from Z and KIIS-FM.

A GREAT CHR jock-- who got his humble beginnings in Cape Cod, then on to Boston and now Dallas is Jackson Blue.

He is, in my opinion-- one of the better jocks out there. I'd sure like to know why he's not a PC jock. Granted he has the syndicated "Party Playhouse" show with SupeRadio, I still believe he should be a PC CHR jock. Just my two cents.

Did some looking into KISS-XM via wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS-XM

The KISS-XM line-up is pretty impressive with the aforementioned Kasper and Java along with Toby Knapp, Kane, Geller, Brotha Fred and others. Why didn't CC go with this line-up for their CHR Premium Choice? It's solid.
 
OhioMediaWatch said:
Oh, and why would Sisanie not say "Kiss FM", someone asked... doesn't CC have at least one or two CHRs that don't take the "Kiss FM" branding?

I can think of one easily off the top of my head - the mighty Z100 in NYC. *Kiss" there is taken by Emmis' long-standing urban AC station WRKS, I'm sure Sisanie doesn't air on Z - as far as I know, they only take one out-of-market weekday show, Ryan Seacrest.

But other non-Kiss CHRs may be why she doesn't use the branding, as the PC shifts are generic. Any call letter/name drops would have to be pre-recorded outside the VTing.
I thought of that...but if the voice tracks are going to run on large market stations the least she could do is make different takes for the KISS stations SAYING "KISS FM"...and at 24 years old I'm SURE it was all that talent, professionalism & knowlege of the radio industry that landed her those gigs. I'm SURE it wasn't her looks. ::) I'd change the name too...maybe shorten it to "Sis". Sisanie sounds too prissy.
 
I've got to say.... there are a lot of good looking women who really want to be in radio.... that are not or have never made it to radio... Maybe her looks did contribute to her success at some level, but I'm sure it wasn't based purely on that. Have you ever heard the saying "I've got a face for radio"? Many people say that in radio, and I'm sure that those people were, are, or could be just as successful as Sisanie is. I bet just being at the right place at the right time probably had something to do with her success at some level, in addition to her education and desired career choices.

I'd say the good looks of a girl in their mid twenties would work much better on t.v. than radio. And lastly, I wouldn't recommend we change her name to Sis. That's what we called my Grandmother. Sis sounds like a grandmother's name.... or sister I guess. Sisanie is better for radio in my opinion. "What's up Sis" may sound ok, but "It's Sis on KIIS fm", just doesn't sound right. Just like that girl I knew who's name was Trixie, saying "Trix" on the radio would just be dumb. I even despise the cereal! ...ok, just kidding about the cereal. But seriously, sometimes a whole name is so much better than 1/3rd or half of it, sound-wise.
 
No, her looks didn't contribute ::), and neither did her ability to climb the corporate ladder in a mini skirt & sleep her way into a voice tracked position in L.A. & land 6 figures. ::) Believe It Or Not...it happens folks( & has forever)!!!(rarely with males though).
 
I don't know Sisanie of course and don't care. She mabe the greatest person on earth who cares. I can't stand voice tracking. I think it's gotten way out off control! Going from state to state and hearing unique local talent was one of the great joys of radio. NOW because these corporations have spread themselves to thin hoarding every major signals they can get they're slimy greedy hands on! We're forced to listen to some one who has no idea and could care less about the culture of a city. :mad:

For radio people. Regular listeners of radio don't do that, and haven't for decades, if ever.


You'll be surprised. Pretty much all my friends aren't radio people and they notice the sameness of radio when they travel state to state. In fact one of my friends quipped is John Tesh taking over radio. He seems to be on every station.

Not suggesting no one would notice. But asking your friends' opinion is like using them to help you pick the hits. You're using the wrong focus group.

Friends/Family of radio people still consume radio differently than the average user.
 
Geez! 4 PAGES!? I'm Jealous! I can't even get 4 pages about me - even when I start up my own thread!

I was joking about Sisanie becoming famous, but now with all this going on here, it seems as if I'm transitioning from a bad comedian to a good psychic because... 4 Pages on Sisanie? If this leaks into a 5th page, I think she deserves an award, in addition to her own t.v. show. Yesterday, someone called to ask me "who is this Sisanie Voicetracking that you speak of?" Well, you know you're famous when you become the talk of the town.
 
I get about as much out of the Sisanie voicetracking as I would from a computer generated voice made by a keyboard. At least with that you could play with the languages & accents. I bet if you took every Sisanie voice tracked talk break, put them back to back & timed them, the total mid-6 shift's talk would equal the length of about one extra song. I'd rather have the one extra song. The other night I heard her say 3OH!3 were "level headed & talented" because of the "Don't Trust Me" song. What??????????
 
Yes she's good.


Yes she is also cocky as f@$%


How many people can you name that have gotten that far in radio by age 24 based on ONLY talent and "hard work?"

You should still have to pay your dues. I wonder how many real EAS alerts she's had to fire, breaking weather or traffic alerts she's had to jump in & break into regular programming, how many transmitter readings she's ever taken & how many live remotes she's had to set up herself & tear down by herself? A former cheerleader that graduated on an art major sounds like she was hired purely as webcam eye candy.
I don't go for all the lying on her voice tracks either. "Here's Lady GaGa goin' out to Janet".......Even though her defense may be "there's got to be someone out there named Janet that likes Lady GaGa"- it's still bogus. If all she does is give artist info & promote her Twitter all night why don't they at least turn it into a 6 hour overnight countdown show? Call it "Sisanie's Fake 50 Countdown".
Who knows. Maybe she'll prove me wrong & have her very own syndicated conservative talk show in a couple years. ::)
 
She must have good communication skills and the ability to talk and present herself in a fun, interesting way to have gotten as far as she has. Good looks only take most people so far... And I don't see what makes The Infamous Sisanie so evil just because many people would find her to be physically attractive. Any woman can be beautiful. There are many great looking women that exist on this planet, and she looks like any ordinary girl to me doing a job and paying her bills the best way she knows how to. I see that people say she is/was a cheerleader.. etc. Well, it takes talent to become a cheerleader, therefore I was right. A seemingly fun and interesting girl... just like anyone could be.... but everyone will have different opinions on what interesting and fun personality means to them.

I admit, the voicetracking part of her job may not be all that on syndicated stations, but as far as the things she might say being bogus, that's just the way life is. I couldn't count the number of bonus things I see people say and do just for their own gain or benefit for their businesses...etc. It should be no different with radio, especially the same business who ACTS like they take requests.... and does other "deceiving" things to their listeners.

Anyway, but yes, plenty of women that most people would say are beautiful exist in this world, and I do not hold that against women who happen to both be attractive by most people's standards and successful. She/they did not choose to be born as a beautiful person or to be attractive in certain people's eyes. As far as being cocky, I don't know about the Infamous Sisanie, but my younger sister is very cocky, and I'm sure that many people may be intimidated by her attitude at times or find her attractive... and she may do some dumb things and what some would consider as "playing games" with young men, but you put her to work at something she's interested in, I know damn well she'll do the job and do it well, and no matter what many guys may be looking at or thinking, I know her success is based on her personality, talent, and hard work. Just like with The Infamous Sisanie, I'm sure my sister's looks probably sometimes work to some degree, but at the same time, it all equals out because for every place/position that will accept her, there's always another to reject her or say "you are not exactly what we're looking for right now". I'm sure Sisanie has had to put up with both. If people really want to know how hard/easy it is for The Infamous Sisanie, someone should interview her, ask her questions, and find out in her own words what her life and job is like. I doubt the interview would be like; "I'm The Infamous Sisanie Voicetracking, and I look beautiful and I'm cocky, so out of all things in life, I used it to win my way through 102.7 KIIS fm and syndicated stations!"

By the way, if she ever thinks of becoming a conservative talker, I dear her to challenge me with common sense talk on the issues of today. Yes, I can talk about much more than just dance music or rhythmic and top 40 stations that should play dance music and The Infamous Sisanie being famous! People think my posts about music / dance music on these boards are too long, then never try to bring up politics or IM me about politics, because..... well, don't say I didn't warn you. If she did do a conservative show, THEN I'd REALLY admire her for her common sense and logical way of thinking. Don't say it can't happen. I bet many of the best talkers today were people who everyone thought "they'd never do that in their lifetime".

Bottom line, she is where she's meant to be in this time of her life right now. It doesn't matter what events had to unfold or happen to make/help her get there because it was her destiny. Some people have to work harder than others, some people have different measurements of what hard work is, but everybody will say they had to work hard in the end, including everyone from President Obama to Paris Hilton, who also used the tools and events they had in their life to maintain some level of success.

THE END. :)

The average consumer of radio. Your average user is not passionate about radio like the people on these boards.

The average consumer also knows when they're being f*cked around with; same ten songs, bland programs, Seacrest on every CHR/ boring shows -- all recognized, at least in some part, by your "average" listener.

Sure; some care more than others and might not notice all the little details that many of us do, but what consumers hear influences their listening habbits.

People are not dumb. Every listener might not really care about local content or tracked jocks, but they begin to notice paterns of low quality, similar boring music on many different stations, and just bad radio over time.

Again, the public isn't totally stupid.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make. Look voice tracking has it's uses . But it is totally being abused by corporations like clear channel because they have over extended themselves. As a result us the "average listener" loose.
