For years I thought the T's voice on the bus and subway was just a computer voice....well METRO tells us today it is a real person......who knew????
The voice behind the MBTA system
This can't be correct.....for a few reasons
- The voice on the newer RED LINE trains at least sounds human and it isn't the same voice that is on the GREEN or BLUE Lines or the bus.
- The voice that announces the SILVER Line at South Station is a yet another voice
- Then we have the Mass Eye and Ear woman on selected trains....she human ( and sounds like Dorchester or Southie)
I was in Chicago last summer and the 'L and bus voice sounds very human and is called Happy CTA guy. Turns out he is a voiceover pro from Milwaukee. Then for station announcements they use a woman from Maine that tells people "Attention Customers...An Inbound Train From The Loop Is arriving Shortly"
Even the new computer voice at South Station sounds human however I wish they had recorded the guy that went...."Auuuuuuuuuuubuuuuuuuuuuundale" If they can record the clickty clack of the old board they could do that.
I really hope that guy doesn't really sound like this in real life

His voice sounds so automated! I really can't believe that's a human that says, "Change here for the Commuter Rail."
I had a chance to meet the fellow a few years back. I was attending the annual bus rodeo, and so was he.
(If you've never seen that, you probably should. You seem like the type who would like it. I mean that as a compliment.)
Anyway, in case you don't know this, I should tell you I'm a voice=over pro and also do production work on sound files for commercials, phone applications, etc. Somehow or another that came up in conversation and that's how I found out he was The Voice Of The T. He's actually a T employee in another function (I'm afraid I can't recall exactly what.) He gave me his tape to see if he could secure some outside work through the company I do most of my work for, but it didn't happen for a number of reasons.
Anyway, he's a really nice fellow.
Now, having said that, I'd prefer a true pro voice. Mine :-)
I am very happy to read this. Appreciate your sharing
