The narrator in this television series

[indycar]

In my chemistry class, we've had to watch episodes of a show called The World of Chemistry with Roald Hoffmann. The narrator seems to be a female voice, one who is not on of the onscreen hosts. Is the narrator Majel Barrett? It sounds like her and I think it's her, but I'm just curious what other people on here think.

It's Paula Herron.

Actually I searched her and according to what I've read, she demonstrated experiments of the show.

"These segments have the homilies of Roald Hoffman deleted, but some additional demonstrations by Paula Herron added."

Sounds a little like Majel, but I would say no...not her.

These were evidently produced by Annenberg Learner (their website is http://www.learner.org/). My assumption it is a professional reader and not Majel. In my job, I have contracted out with a university to develop and produce learning/training videos and part of their production is using what they call professional readers.

In any event, I actually sent an email to Annenberg Learner through their site and asked if they knew and if so, could they identify her. I'll let you know if I get a response.

At least she has a Star Trek last name although no relation to Michael from what I see. Her husband's is on that link in the last paragraph.

I guess it wasn't Barrett, I honestly thought it was.
