Meet The Voice Behind The NYC Subway Announcements

[Q113 LTD]

 

His name is Charlie Pellett. And he's most well-known for being the voice behind, "Stand clear of the closing doors, please" on the New York Subway. It's an unpaid job - his full-time gig is a radio anchor position at Bloomberg News. So how exactly did Pellett get the opportunity to commandeer one of the most well-known subway announcements on Earth? As Pellett goes on to say in a New Yorker video, in the early 1990s, some of his Bloomberg co-workers went a mission to improve the New York subway announcements, so they reached out to the MTA and made connections. Soon enough, the MTA had released new cars and asked Pellett and his co-workers to record announcements.
