A man has discovered he has an incredible skill – doing perfect impressions of train and tube station announcements.

Tommy Sargent, 18, shocked friends when he first showed them his impressions of the London Underground voiceovers – but it didn’t stop there.

The Cardiff journalism student can perfectly replicate all the station announcers for trains and tubes around the UK - which even includes speaking in Welsh for a Transport for Wales announcement.

Although he admits he is not the real deal when it comes to train and tube announcements, his incredibly unique skill would leave you convinced he is.

Thanks to that, he says he's now in talks with several companies who want him to record their automated telephone voice.

Tommy said: "I've been doing these impressions for so long that I can't even remember which I did first.

"My mum always talks about how I would sing 'Washing Machines Live Longer With Calgon!' in naptime at pre-school - maybe I was destined to work as a voice artist?

"I replicate voices that you wouldn’t really pay much attention to normally - until you hear it and think, 'Hang on! I hear that every day!'

"Since people found out about my impressions, I get asked all the time - but it's lovely being able to entertain people by doing something unique."

Tommy, who did acting as a child, said he has been doing impressions of different voices as far back as he can remember.

But things really kicked off for him after posting his unique talent on TikTok - where he woke up the next day to more than a million views on his video.

He boasts an impressive catalogue of train announcer impressions - including Southeastern Railway, Scotrail and Northern Railway.

He has even done an impression of a Transport for Wales announcement - where he recites the announcement in both English AND Welsh.
