(I have used this one as a ringtone om my phone for a few years..... Always funny when someone calls you when you are traveling by train, and everyone around you instantly thinks there is an formal announcement )

In the train (not by an official person, but done in the correct way): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DAXEH0oJwo

You’re on the English forum, meaning that you do have to speak English. (Ik vergeet het ook soms )

Thanks for the vids! I've just found another good quality video, with a text transcription. Is this good?

EDIT: I'll also replace "dames en heren (ladies and gentlemen)" with "rezigers (riders)".

Its automated.. Not really a great represent of how to pronnounce dutch names. But style is okay.

That's all I was making sure, thanks! I'll get to work making announcements now.

ONE LAST QUESTION. Should I make the announcements with a TTS voice, or with people in real life (you could be the voice!)?

I generally dont like TTS voices. Prefer a real person

Real voices it is! But, you may ask, who will be voicing the announcements? YOU GUYS! That's right, one of you will be able to be the voice of Rijndam Transit. I will need one Dutch* announcer and one English announcer. Sign up here.

* If you wish to be the Dutch announcer, you will also need to be able to speak English.

EDIT: The form has now closed and won't be accepting requests.

@metro sim addict has signed up for the english voice, but the dutch voice is still up for grabs! Sign up from the link in the post above ↑

Also, @Sjoerd, is the "Het volgende station is..." announcement any different at terminating station? Most of the the time there's some sort of indication that it's the last station
