In the United States of America, Mary Moore was the first national voice of the Bell System's standardized speaking clock〔David Lazarus. ''(“Time of day calling it quits at AT&T” )''. ''Los Angeles Times'', 29 August 2007.〕 and also provided the voice behind many telephone company recordings on equipment manufactured by Audichron. Moore's voice was often recognized for the distinctive two-syllable pronunciations of 9 ("NY-un") and 5 ("FY-vuh").〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgoIJ9UDm5E&t=6m12s〕 This was a requirement of telephone operators at the time, because "nine" and "five" can sound very similar on a poor-quality line. Prior to Moore's recordings and Audichron equipment, an operator stationed in a booth would await the glow of a signal lamp, indicating that a subscriber had dialed the service; she (or, sometimes, he) would then announce the time at 10-second intervals until the lamp was extinguished. Callers reaching a disconnected number would be informed by the operator personally. Moore had one of these reading jobs herself before she was formally recorded. ==See also== *Jane Barbe *Pat Fleet *Joanne Daniels 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Moore (voice actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
