Which celebrity would you want as your smart speaker voice?


Good afternoon all

I hope your Friday is going well and you're excited for the weekend.

Following the recent news that Amazon Alexa has added two further celebrity voices to it's impressive selection, I was wondering who you would pick as your smart speaker's voice if you had the choice of anybody in the world?

At present, the selection of Amazon's celebrity voices, including Samuel L Jackson, is only available in the US, but fingers crossed the feature will make it's way to the UK soon. You can follow this link to see a full list of Amazon Alexa wake words, along with skills that will enable you to interact with a celebirty voice without receiving full Alexa functionality from it.

For me, I'd pick Michael Caine, he would sound super telling me the weather every morning.

What about you?

    Hi @Ross_Scope, for me it would have to be the voice of John Nettles.

    Good choice, Ross - I'd probably go for Stephen Fry or Bill Nighy

    Oooo some awesome choices there! Yes David Attenborough and Stephen Fry would be amazing, they'd be a calming influence for sure :) 

    Hugh Laurie would be pleasant too

    Yes those are good calls too @janer1967. 

    Olivia Colman would be lovely to listen to as well I think

    Groucho Marx sometimes, when dealing with HMRC Russel Crowe.

    I'd say Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean

    Or

    Donkey from Shrek who of course is Eddie Murphy


    But both of this would be awesome and funny

    Love those suggestions @JamesG

    Me and my partner have been watching the Pirates movies lately, having Jack Sparrow as a smart speaker would be awesome.
