TCN Fundraiser
As I noted in Tuesday's edition, November is one of the two months annually when I ask you to consider supporting the TCN. While monetary contributions are always appreciated (please see below for how to donate), there are other ways you can support the TCN. One of these is by using my transportation voiceover services. I'm the voice for a number of transportation-related projects such as the New York City subway's "next train" announcements and the AirTrain at Kennedy and Newark airports. In the past month I voiced two new projects. One is a video for Sensys Networks that was shown at the ITS World Congress, and the other is being the voice for the customer information line for PATH, the mass transit line serving New York City and New Jersey. You can listen to my PATH recordings by dialing 1-800-234-PATH.
If you'd like more information about how you can use my voice and transportation expertise to make your project sound great, please contact me at bernie@bwcommunications.net. You can also visit my website at www.bwcommunications.net to hear more samples. Thank you!
