The 2008 Kyiv mayoral campaign has given birth to baby voicing, an innovative underground PR technique that rivals traditional baby kissing.
Little boy’s voiceover: Dear passengers, while the train is moving keep away from the sliding door.
Passenger 1: It’s very interesting, and very…I don’t know how to say it…pleasant!
Little boy: Please get faster into the cars; don’t loiter by the door; proceed further into the cars.
Passenger 2: It must be some kind of artistic studio doing these things, right? The elocution is good. Thanks!
Little boy: Mind the door!
Passenger 3: Such a nice tone. And quite convincing!
Little boy: The next station is Poznyaky.
Passenger 4: It brings a smile to the passengers’ faces. It’s some sort of feel-at-home thing.
Little boy: The next station is Slavutych.
Wake up! The next station is Chernovetsky 2!

I tell you, it was quite surprising the first time I heard the kids' voices last week. Although I imagine it'd get annoying after a while.
ReplyDeleteI heard that some orphanage from won a competition and got to record the voices?
The vocals, commissioned by the Kyiv Metro with the purported goal to prevent passenger suicide, come from a Chernivtsi children’s ensemble.
ReplyDeleteAs this video shows, some naïve passengers fail to notice the real “record label,” whose re-election will be suicidal for Kyiv.
