Spanish Airport Announcements
I have a question/request,

Does anyone have any recordings or at least any information on the man who does all the spanish airport announcements. He can be heard all over spain as well as the Canary Islands?

Many thanks

If you are meaning the man who does the English translation, he does most airports across the globe. I have just returned from PVG last month and his voice was there in the airport. It really is a soothing a 'homely' voice.

Must be once of the most heard voices in the world!

Love the Spanish Airport announcenments when they try to pronounce BMI Baby and the destination airport seems to be a different more aggressive voice. And then the English translation, so posh!!!!

I love it when they announce: ".....Jet two, two......to Manchester" (or some other destination). Never heard such a confusion of twos and tos!

The man who does the Spanish Airport announcements......he's a pentium computer chip! You'd think a human voice doing Spanish announcements in Spain would be able to pronounce MaJorca and Marbeller the Spanish way, not the English way! He's a computer voice speaking typed input.

spanish airport announcements
i work in malaga airport and yes, most of the announcements are computer generated. there has been the odd exception where the computer system is not capable of pronouncing certain words or in certain languages so normally one of the male handling staff will record them.

I know it's a computer...but it's like any announcements ie. tube. They pay someone to record all the words and then a computer pieces them together.

.....which takes a light, flippant thread to bizarre stupid heights, ready for closure! If anybody else doesn't understand, that was an extremely weak attempt at 'humour'! Don't bother trying to understand it.
