It is the "female1" folder that contains all of the Celia Drummond sound files.
These are which folders contain what:
"female1" folder - Celia Drummomd
"male1" folder - Phil Sayer
"female2" folder - Alison Mckay (Scotrail)
"male3" folder - Michael Comyn (Irish Rail)
"default" folder - Michael Comyn (Irish Rail)
They all contain thousands of files so it can take a while to find your required file.

I'm happy to say that I've begun the work to implement Phil Sayer into my announcements website using the original recordings.
At the moment, this is focused mainly on Amey/Ditra Southern style announcements, but I'm open to additional formats in the future.
Currently, only "Next train" announcements are available, but the logic and UI is in place for this to also handle multiple via points, short platforms, request stops, and also integrating these features into dividing services, too.
I've attached a couple of examples from the site.
Fictional West Coastway service with divide, request stops and short platforms:
View attachment short platform galore with split.mp3
CrossCountry to Brighton with multiple via points:
View attachment XC to BTN.mp3
Virgin Pendolino to Edinburgh with short platform:
View attachment VT to EDB.mp3

The ones I’d really love to have are those of John Elgar, who was the predecessor to Phil Sayer especially in the Southern Region. I always thought he had the perfect voice, and IMO has never been bettered since in terms of sounding natural even when different segments have been stitched together. I know there are bits of his announcements out there, but I suspect we will never get a complete set of files, which is a shame.
Why does it say 'KeTech Phil Sayer' if its in the Amey style?I'm happy to say that I've begun the work to implement Phil Sayer into my announcements website using the original recordings.

Because originally it wasn't but now it is, and I've not changed the name.
I think it's a slight hybrid of the two in reality, especially if you've only got one short platform (or request stop?).

is there a Buckshaw and Chorley announcement file of Celia (and BSV for Anne)? wanting to use those but finding them is just about impossible
Strangely both Buckshaw Parkway and Chorley are missing from these sound files. I can not find them either. I am sure that Celia Drummond and Phil Sayer would have recorded these so it does seem odd. Perhaps they are newer recordings done after this batch of files was created.
