Two timin' AA voicemail system lady
I have always been impressed by the lady who goes "Thank you for calling American Airlines, the only airline that offers more room throughout coach for more coach passengers..." What a warm and friendly voice, always a pleasure to listen to!
But then I was trying to buy a freezer today and called Sears and guess who answers the phone?
Experiment
1) Call American Airlines 1-800-433-7300 and listen to the announcement
2) Call Sears at 1-800-359-2000 and listen to the announcment
Is this the same person???

I don't know this particular lady, but it's a very lucrative field for a "very" few people who get most of the work. There was a story on NPR about a man who pretty much does all voice work for film previews and commercials.

When I'm in Tokyo, I notice that the same woman always announces each subway station name from the platform in both Japanese and English. What I want to know is, how does she get to the next station ahead of the train all the time?

Also check out Scott Chapin - at ScottChapin.com - he does most local news blurbs.
I've always been impressed by the AA/AT&T/Sears/Amex/etc. lady. I've even heard her <<en espanol>>!

However, AA changed the script and had her record things in the much more friendlier tone we hear today. I'm glad things were changed for the better.

I don't know if it's still the same guy, but the british guy who was on the phone recording for Virgin Atlantic was a reservations agent. I got him on the line once, and it WAS a trip.

I think some of us have way too much time on our hands. How do I know this?
Because I also figured out that "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and the "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, Now I know my ABCs, etc." song share the same melody.

It's actually Mozart's Symphony no. 40 in G Minor,
which is based on:
an 18th Century French folksong, "Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman"
which is based on:
some kid who wanted candy from his momma.
OK, I need to go back to bed now.

I didn't think his pay was that low he had to moonlight as a train announcer.
