Hi everyone.

I'm curious about the voice recordings that are played automatically in the subway cars. I remember a thread a while ago about the people whose voices were used, but I can't find it. I know that someone here knows a lot about how the PA announcements were created. Where can I find more information about when and how it happened, and who was involved?

Thanks,
listener

Jessica Ettinger Gottesman, 1010 WINS Anchor; Announcements on the Lexington Avenue Line

Melissa Kliner; Original first-version announcements on the 4 and 5 outside of Manhattan, these have since been re-recorded by Ettinger Gottesman

Diane Thompson; Announcements on the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line

Charlie Pellett; "Stand Clear of the Closing doors, please" and various public announcements

Also Catherine Cowdery does the announcements for all the IND/BMT lines except the A,C and F trains.
