I'm so shallow now. Oh dear. It's good that Nelson is there to share his knowledge with me, so I can learn stuff while bumming around.
But well, just an idea:
Would you be able to recognise the MRT voice when you hear it in person? I mean, I can imagine if people recognise on the road "Oh excuse me, are you the FHM girl of the year?" (Is there such a thing? Never mind, you get my point. Don't do it in front of her grandma though.) What if you are just walking down the road and you hear the MRT voice in person? Would you stop by and ask, "Excuse me, are you the MRT voice?"
Or imagine the MRT voice having a job interview.
"On your CV, you claim that you voiced the soundtrack for MRT station names. If you don't mind, can you say 'Bishan'?"
"Bishan."
"My gosh you ARE the real thing! Can you say 'Orchard'?"
"..."
I remember that when I was in RI and RJ, I would always sleep in the train from Choa Chu Kang to Bishan. When the MRT voice says "Bishan" I would wake up, alight the train and rush off to school. Till now, I still wake up when I reach Bishan even if I don't intend to alight there.
Wouldn't it be very cool if SMRT uploaded the MRT voice soundtracks, along with the person's name, from 1986 to present?
