An announcement I recorded in December 2019 aboard the Washington Metro's 2000s-era Legacy rolling stock. I can't remember if it was a 6000 Series or a refurbished 2000/3000 Series. Quite by accident, I discovered that when the famous doors opening and closing chimes play, the announcement is actually emitted through the door-header speaker on both sides of the train. By holding my recording device up to one of the speakers opposite the one that the doors had actually opened to while riding into Downtown DC that day, I managed to get the clearest-possible audio of Randi Miller's voice. And because I have grown up with an absolute love for this announcement, I tweaked the video with some door-motion visual effects and added audio I recorded separately of the door motions on a 6000 Series.
