OMG! 0:32 That’s My Clip Of Bernie’s Voice! I still remember pouncing in excitement back in January 2021 when first hearing the 7 train countdown clocks using Bernie Wagenblast’s voice and quickly getting out my phone to record that and getting it to medias, and I’m Amazed to not only see how far it got with viewership but also with how well it recognized Bernie!
I’ve grown up hearing Bernie Wagenblast in the NYC Subway since 2010, as well as on AirTrain EWR since 2018, and on PATCO Speedline since 2019. She really has such an Amazing tone with her announcements but even as her true authentic self, she still has such an Amazing voice!
And it’s fantastic to hear that Bernie Wagenblast became her true self, especially knowing she hoped to do it for quite a while and finally got the courage to come out! But for the most part, her fame and successes still don’t change.
