Specialized Transportation Voiceover Services

Technology is wonderful. Afterall, many of the stories in the TCN include examples of how technology is being used to better gather and provide information and services. While my friends, Siri and Alexa, along with their numerous siblings, can do some amazing things, they still sound like computers. Only a human being can bring warmth and a smile to a recorded voice. 

I’ve worked in the transportation field for five decades. Not only can I provide a friendly voice in a variety of applications, but I know this industry and its unique needs. From a recorded voice on your phone system to information on an upcoming stop on your transit line I can give you the voice you need. If you haven’t heard me in the NYC subway, on the AirTrain at JFK or Newark airports or on PATCO, you can listen to samples of my voice recordings here. Please contact me at bernie@transportationradio.com to learn more.
