'I Said: STAND BACK!'
One of the most recognizable voices in Washington is about to get updated. Competition has been fierce to be the new voice of Metro, and it turns out that perhaps not surprisingly, the 10 finalists–picked from 1,259 entries–are packed with media types. There’s an ABC News producer, a former CNNer, a former NPRer, and someone from Gannett, as well as several radio hosts and deejays. Of course, it might just be that something that required people to send in samples of themselves talking might SLIGHTLY biased towards those who love the sound of their own voice.
The winner will be picked today, and then will have his or her piped into the Metro 33,017 times each day, playing to 700,000 riders.
