You're listening to twenty

0:42
in
0:46
washington dc for a big chunk of my adult
0:48
life so i'm really familiar with the
0:50
sounds of that city at one point
0:53
i even created a poll asking washingtonians
0:55
with the most iconic sound in dc was
0:58
and the overwhelming answer was this
1:02
doors
1:02
opening step back to allow customers
1:04
to exit when boarding please move
1:06
to the center
1:07
the car that's
1:09
the friendly voice you hear on the dc metro
1:12
trains those recordings were made in two
1:14
thousand and six when the city decided to
1:16
update their announcements to choose their
1:18
new voice they held a contest where people could
1:20
submit recordings of themselves the person
1:22
they chose with a needed washingtonian
1:24
named wendy miller who beat out over
1:26
twelve hundred applicants from around the
1:28
country and once thousands of
1:30
people started hearing randy's voice every day
1:33
she became kind of kind local celebrity
1:38
for me those announcements works such a
1:40
comforting a quintessential part of living
1:42
in d c step back
1:45
doors closing a few
1:47
years ago i was on another podcast called
1:49
the big listen talking to host lauren over
1:51
about the sounds of the city we met up
1:53
in dc is union station when down
1:55
into the metro hopped on one of the brand new
1:57
trains then heard this
2:00
that back doors
2:02
closing that's not the right boy
2:04
now on the seven thousand years ago river
2:06
that the robot in line
2:10
and , fairies to point out i'm just
2:12
not only myself right now wow
2:15
this is the gone from our future while
2:18
, i while no idea
2:24
as you can hear i was pretty heartbroken to
2:26
learn that this voice that washingtonians
2:28
overwhelmingly described as the
2:30
most recognizable sound in d c
2:36
beautiful human voice had been
2:38
replaced with text to speech
2:41
stores
2:41
the opening set that to allow
2:44
customers to exits when
2:46
boarding please move to the center
2:48
of the car
2:53
that on the train that day lauren and i seem
2:55
to be the only ones who cares so
2:58
i think people don't care because they don't know the stories
3:00
behind these fees sounds and a thought
3:02
process like that thing on the metro
3:04
was thought out well it's a beautiful time
3:07
the voices beautiful the tone is
3:09
perfect but whenever we'd sterilize
3:12
are sounds with somebody just as it's hair
3:15
were losing something
3:19
that experience with me and
3:21
it got me thinking about the people behind some
3:23
of the other train announcements around the world
3:30
any a little festivals and as soon
3:32
as you
3:44
the voices are deeply ingrained
3:47
in people's lives there a comforting
3:49
constant in a busy and sometimes
3:51
frightening world and yet certainly
3:53
anyone knows who these voices belong
3:55
to i'm going to hear their stories
3:57
preferably before they get the cliche the
4:01
and i knew the person to ask
4:12
martin the
4:15
dollar either going really good
4:17

4:19

4:31
in an office and i had to commute
4:33
into central london and back home every
4:35
day five days a week for over
4:37
ten years so i had a lot of
4:39

radio reporter in new york but
4:59
i'm also known as bus stand
5:01
clear the closing doors please guy
5:07
Bella has had a very, very interesting
5:09
career. His story starts right
5:11
here in London. The city watch Ali was
5:13
born originally,
5:15
I am from the United Kingdom and
5:17
indeed are still got some family living
5:19
over in England, from London, North,
5:22
London East Finchley. My
5:24
dad absolutely loved trains
5:26
and England has
5:28
an absolutely glorious
5:30
history when it comes
5:33
to rail. And I remember
5:35
one of my first experiences with
5:37
steam by the time, you know, I
5:39
was growing up in England, steam was a thing of the past
5:41
for the most part, but I
5:44
remember entering a contest sponsored
5:46
by an ice cream company. You
5:48
could send in an entry and
5:51
you could get on a with
5:53
you in a couple family members on a family train,
5:55
and I thought this was so unbelievably.
5:57
Cool.
6:02
martin so i'm no expert
6:04
in socio linguistics but
6:06
surely doesn't sound very british to my years
6:09
well when trolley moved to the united states as
6:11
a child's he found his english accent
6:14
muslim really an asset
6:20
i had a british accent when i first came over here
6:22
and the kids made fun of me for having
6:25
an english accent so i did everything
6:27
that i could to get rid of that english
6:29
accent how does i do that listening
6:32
to people on the radio and america
6:35
time , of the gates that necessarily do that
6:37
you are beautiful inside a nice your
6:39
eyes with alleged right like less right as the special
6:41
i make of that makes you feel special you
6:44
can the days of am radio charlie to tune
6:46
in at night and his stations and accents
6:49
from across the united states
6:51
here in america depending on atmospheric conditions
6:54
depending on the time of the year and
6:56
especially at night you can pull in all
6:58
sorts of radio stations from various
7:00
cities way beyond your
7:03
traditional local listening area is
7:07
cater yard
7:19
but that basically
7:21
is why and how i spend so much time
7:24
listening to the radio and i think listeners
7:26
to this would agree that you know what i
7:28
think the guy did wind up with a pretty good american
7:30
accent
7:35
college experiences as a young radio fun
7:37
had a pretty long lasting effect on his choice
7:39
of curious well i handled me and
7:41
of pretty good career as a radio dj
7:43
at one point of my career have enough for couple
7:46
years came to new york had an affair

10:00
the course of the time trolley didn't know

10:05
as far as he was concerned the trying

11:17
a new york city transit
11:20
twenty years on there was so things that annoy him about
11:22
his own performance that that
11:24
there are announcements that i hear today
11:26
some of which i just dislike
11:29
theres a really large
11:31
interchange here in new york at times square
11:33
where it seems like almost all of the
11:35
subway lines come together so
11:38
its transfer is available to
11:40
the one seven a
11:43
b c the e
11:45
f m n q
11:48
are and w trains
11:51
and whenever i hear that announcements it
11:53
always bothers me because i sound
11:56
like m talking computer voice
11:58
and it just doesnt flow like
12:00
human being it's just not conversational so
12:02
i really dislike that announcement and
12:04
wish it could be changed
12:06
despite trolleys perfectionism about his own performance
12:08
being the voice of the subway has led to some
12:11
amazing opportunities
12:18
it's been an absolutely
12:20
amazing enjoyable ride
12:22
i had a tv appearance that came out of
12:24
this sub with a fellow care and york on
12:26
the late night shows the conan show i
12:29
thought about some other phrases i've always wanted
12:31
to hear your voice to mind right now
12:34
next funky towel
12:40
hey girl you are
12:44
even got a broadway appearance cameo out
12:47
of this there was a show that ran for a couple of months
12:49
here in new york called in friends at holly
12:52
went to see the shown his birthday and
12:54
he got caught up on stage name
13:00
is advertised
13:08
the
13:12
for , your or
13:16
so we're or more the
13:27
twenty twenty tali did his
13:29
toe into pop stardom
13:31
the name the band is called a jr
13:34
and when they were starting out they would
13:36
perform in the new york city subway system
13:38
they did a video
13:40
that was a mess up of
13:43
the stand clear the closing doors announcement
13:46
with the being bombed
13:48
the we have here in new york for
13:51
enron
13:55
very very new york
14:02
he then mixed in elisa
14:05
keys the song living in new york
14:19
then he brought a tear to my eye when
14:22
i heard the saying as a oh my god you know here's this
14:24
kid who grew up in england
14:26
came to the united states became
14:28
an american citizen gets to
14:30
be the voice of the greatest underground
14:32
system in the world
14:34
the bottom line is that i sent
14:36
them a note saying you guys brought a tear to my
14:38
i'm just so overjoyed so
14:41
delighted by this song thank
14:43
you very much and then must been
14:45
a year later or something like that they
14:48
, back to me saying you know
14:50
hey we're we're in the process of putting together
14:52
a song and they ask me if i would record
14:54
these lines and i did the
14:57
names a song and i'm on by the way as called bang
15:01
dogs the
15:05
here we go part you know you can figure
15:07
out how that would fit into a song bang
15:09
was bang billboard top ten hit this video
15:12
has ever fifty million views million each
15:14
year we go
15:18
probably loves being an an answer for the new york subway
15:20
but he does take inspiration from an even
15:23
older underground train system
15:28
as a kid growing up in london there was
15:30
the announcement that stuck with me forever
15:33
lions at a gas if
15:35
you've ever travelled on the london underground you'll have
15:37
heard that line the very polite british
15:40
way of saying some sort of the train onto
15:42
the tracks i'm for almost two decades
15:44
nine the iconic close i stuttered sounded
15:47
like miss mind the gap place
15:50

15:52
one half of half tube announcement power
15:54

charlie palate is the friendly voice
18:14
the millions of new yorkers to stand
18:16
clear of the closing doors place
18:19
but before the pot
18:20
and a broadway musicals and the late night
18:22
shows he was just a british kid taking
18:24
trips on the tube and every time he did
18:27
he would hear a voice of warning him to mind
18:31
that announcement which announcement which from the
18:33
sixties vividly sacharov ever
18:35
becomes available mine would
18:38
love to do that
18:41
when tony was young he probably would have had
18:44
the vision mind the gap that was recorded bucket a lot
18:46
of thing is peter wasn't a voiceover
18:48
artist he was assigned engineer he
18:50
got to get completely by chance and
18:53
six peter studio had been booked by an actor
18:55
who's going this months before
18:58
that arrived
19:05
was explained in an old segment on thames nice
19:08
unbeknownst to him that been around over
19:10
the actors the actors and the company decided
19:12
not to use him
19:13
that by future and they happen to have pizza
19:16
melissa loosely intoning mind
19:18
other gap and a star was born
19:21
pieces which was used for many years
19:23
but the mind the gap easy nowadays was recorded
19:26
by still say
19:26
mind the gap please use
19:29
, recorded lines like this train will
19:31
terminate here here those mother
19:33
new voice you hear on the to calling of
19:35
old faces the months and house fire
19:37
victoria and embankments i'm
19:40
ellen hamilton i'm i'm voice
19:42
they brought to fill
19:48
fire and allen hamilton were rare
19:50
husband rare husband and then sitting they
19:52
met in bolton in the north of england when
19:54
they would dj isn't the same local radio station
19:57
wheelbase doing a radio says and
19:59
them and
20:00
the an hour of nonstop me that between my seven
20:02
fill say when we thought difficult know each other and
20:04
every week with this is that they've either a bit more
20:06
insistently with his friends and it
20:08
ended up becoming a little that more much
20:10
as clearly you know the twins
20:13
me make a guy obvious that more
20:16
, later be on the jobs
20:18
as radio djs phil and elena busted
20:20
some coming voiceover work i'm
20:22
after they got to
20:27
which of course when you listen to radio
20:30
adverts and things it's quite handy having
20:32
a male and female in the same place at the same
20:34
time because and they can bounce off each other instead
20:36
of having to recalled one in their home studio
20:38
and somebody we met him studio
20:41
gerald and i had to for the new master five
20:43
he has two kids
20:49

icebox thoughts so
20:54
i think flores the business took off quite
20:56
well said we weren't just recording radio
20:58
commercials or train announcements as a kind of doing
21:00
anything that why it a boy and
21:03

21:05
every they
21:08
wanna sell say his early walls was being the
21:10
voice and ensign trains and many of the stations
21:12
across england not the underground trains but
21:14
the train system that runs across the whole country
21:16
until the sense the
21:20
most people just called that british rail
21:23
fell was the voice of british rail
21:25
for years and years nice
21:26
long before i met him a
21:32
fact when she was young she remembers
21:35
info voice coming out of the british well speaker
21:37
the nikkei we often colors lead speakers
21:39

22:04
with those experiences the voice of british rail
22:06
he was a much for
22:08
the voice of the london tube and

22:12
said and then they found out that always
22:15

what the big one mind the gap
22:44
place yet
22:46
the you know anything this that we really
22:48
really needs know because as a matter of life and death
22:50
they gave to fail your accent
22:53
this is a security announcement for
22:56
safety reasons please do not leave
22:58
your luggage or other items unattended
23:00
in any part of the station because
23:03
i think again that
23:04
the male voices the one that supposedly
23:06
as those that people listened saved efforts
23:08
which women just get ignored the odds acidic
23:11
of is this the fluffy pretty terrible you wanna
23:13
be going in that direction love okay so
23:15

elena finance voice isn't quite
23:27
the same as a civilian voice i
23:29

23:31
fully
23:32
the kid that the some the rp which
23:34
most people are
23:35
it's cool i'll pay stunts for
23:37
received pronunciation for
23:39
many years people in the hold
23:41
it was the proper way to speak if you wanted
23:43
sign on class she
23:47
wanted to be on the bbc
23:55
now but things don't always change quickly
23:57
and in two thousand and five okay was stuck
24:00
i would honestly i'm talking to you have
24:02
got a bit of a light northern accent little we lived in
24:04
the north's that's a few put us in france
24:07
the
24:07
the ending of am and that's what
24:10
i did the next he
24:12
tried terminals corner even free
24:15
for the coffin sleep minutes
24:18
something like that really
24:20
having heavy fines is an answer voice in
24:23
an interview with a daily mail when
24:25
you start to feel slightly ridiculous
24:27
itself probably just about any and rice
24:29
all it it is actually
24:31
rated version of a real
24:38
the to bonanza you occasionally have to top
24:40
up you announcements because any station
24:43
has opened or a route has changed
24:45
and matching your latest recording was a record
24:47
he did fifteen or twenty years ago can be
24:49
a real challenge when i do
24:51
top up the cheap announcements i successive
24:53
tunnel my inner thigh it missouri's
24:56
newborns and am step
24:58
away from the microphone of her assistant her assistant
25:01
more i guess because of the way they were mats
25:04
well you can pop up the recordings for the
25:06
there's only so much she can change what you
25:09
sound like and unfortunately not
25:11
everyone is going to like a sense is
25:13
try to tell again just disease
25:15
announcements were rolling out i was
25:17
in the subway car he was one or two
25:19
other people in there and all of a sudden
25:22
the voice over the p a system
25:24
saying stand clear the closing doors please
25:26
and , guy looked up the speaker and said shut
25:29
up mister north dakota and
25:31
, thinking okay now what he meant by that
25:34
it didn't sound like you were from the your we're
25:37
not from america a north dakota an
25:39
accent
25:40
i would suggest not a very specific
25:43
accent just sounds like a regular american
25:45
accents and , think
25:47
that's what he was trying to convey
25:50
we'll use our and stuff obviously
25:52
be we adapt a little bit as we get it
25:55
is forty years ago everyone would have been
26:04
then obama and
26:06
the way i speak now
26:08
the popular in twenty years so now you
26:10
know i have to accept that will however people speak
26:13
in the
26:15
the women i have a quite
26:18
the sound relatively ageless
26:21
you know domain lately we just clear
26:24
apart from today's planned engineering
26:26
works there are no other reported
26:28
delays and at seat trolley
26:30
service of drinks and light refreshments
26:32
is available on the service
26:35
but , think one day
26:38
those announcements well sounds clients else
26:40
has since since
26:48
elena worked on voice overs together for
26:50
many for but sadly
26:53
soon developed cancer and died
26:55
in april twenty six thing the
26:59
following day after he died and day
27:01
after was seen that that's horrible
27:03
anyway but as i'm concerned as think it is
27:05
horrible it ended
27:08
oh thanks again
27:10
for say this shriveled up a little
27:17
don't both skeleton in a bad but in the
27:19
following day the news outlets
27:22
got hold of the story of of the mind the
27:24
gap man has died and then all over
27:26
the press the with these videos and recordings
27:28
of this very healthy sometimes slightly overweight
27:30
man he kind of from thing about infants a camera
27:32
on him from some
27:33
no real my thoughts in a minute in some ways
27:35
it was it was so lovely
27:37
to be reminded of that person
27:40
says that it was just was really strange
27:42
process because then
27:44
the hadn't died a tool and that
27:46
goes the team from feinstein the make
28:04
then would be that people on twitter width
28:07
and height me and fleets going on they've
28:10
been removed from waterloo and
28:12
i'd say oh neat
28:15
, nice and
28:17
every single time he was removed from a say
28:19
in it made me sad says snaps
28:21
it may be really really sad and it was lights
28:24
it senate just letting him died him
28:26
had some i think people
28:28
didn't realize that they were hurting made
28:30
by saying these things
28:42
for elena having as oduya reminders
28:44
made morning much more complicated
28:46
it , merely odds and it's
28:49
it's a really strange home because obviously
28:52
having been at having been widow i know
28:54
the a lotta people either connected
29:03
ways he were also widowed the
29:05
would have given anything to hurt so
29:08
i totally got how lucky i was have
29:11
older because it wasn't just
29:14
the train announced
29:16
it had our mouths now the recordings
29:18
of sometimes him and me and the suit it was
29:25
code on to k k sorry
29:29
know
29:34
a that
29:37
a united
29:40
, amateurs
29:47
but with a downside is that i think was
29:49
that when i heard him
29:52
it was is this he'd never gone
29:54
anywhere
29:59
men
30:00
the time has passed since his death she feels
30:02
different connection to the voice of her late husband
30:18
the he fails that's i think it's nice you
30:20
know either add my my partner loves it the
30:22
cell and i both kind of died him along
30:25
his journey where he needs to go easy on famous
30:27
looked after by base of as which is which
30:29
is really nice would ,
30:31
a dream job as a train on and so was she
30:33
knew immediately my trade loving
30:35
son is a yet opponents as troubling think
30:38
it insects are on these lengths railway so maybe
30:40
i'd like to announce a the says i could just annoy him
30:42
wherever he goes and any claim that he works
30:44
on that klux klan these scripts
30:47
never get away from me there's
31:02
something amazing about
31:05
our part of the background of people's lives
31:08
day after day it might
31:10
seem a small thing but
31:12
over time small things
31:14
can mean a lot as
31:17
we take our conversation
31:20
the time after nine
31:23
eleven and forgive me to they always get
31:25
choked up talking about my life the
31:27
number people who just said they felt comforted
31:30
when they heard my voices
31:34
the had and life then i
31:36
am not going to slaughter myself into thinking
31:38
that it's that important or the it'll be stable
31:41
constant things are important
31:43
get used to them
31:49
my feeling is a
31:52
lovely actually not being famous
31:54
and not one thing to be famous bus
31:56
sitting quietly on a station platform and thinking
32:00
my voice that have a guest speaker and
32:02
nobody knows
32:04
these voices might seem anonymous
32:07
but remember there are real
32:09
people behind them we're
32:11
, human beings only we'll have a story and
32:13
we're paid to sounds almost emotionless
32:17
lit paid sound like with mistress
32:19
with just isn't the facts
32:22
and me i sat through the whole heart and soul
32:25
that sometimes been torn apart and put back together
32:27
again for
32:30
people like eleanor and charlie being
32:32
the voice of the transit isn't just transit job
32:34
it's their passion it's some
33:06
there's only one new york city subway system
33:08
for the past twenty years has only been
33:10
one stand clear the closing doors guy
33:13
