Tokyo | If you’ve ever travelled on Japan’s iconic Shinkansen, chances are you’ve heard Donna Burke’s voice. For more than two decades, her calm, melodic English-language announcements have echoed through the bullet train carriages – welcoming passengers aboard the inter-city trains, guiding them gently through station stops and delays.
For many Japanese, her voice is instantly recognisable; so much so that viral videos of her reading announcements often attract comments like, “she sounds more familiar than my own mum.”
