Silly me, I thought it was a female voice…but it’s a guy. (editor’s note, 11/11/11: It’s male in the U.K., female in the U.S. per Jeff Davis)Surprise for him, he didn’t even know he’d gotten the gig until he heard himself on TV.
Yeah, it didn’t make sense to me either, so read this article from TheVerge.com, and “hear” the whole story. Lucky guy…but it underscores how you can’t let ANY possible opportunities slip away for lack of initiative.
Also, my thanks to Juliette Gray for providing the link to a similar article from Wired Magazine. (Also see comment from Natalie Cooper below, including link to the original article: The original interview was in The Telegraph here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/8879705/The-voice-behind-Siri-breaks-his-silence.html
He’s well known in the UK, and also owns voiceover agency http://www.excellenttalent.com/)
So all this begs the question, then….who is the FEMALE talent in the US?

Thanks for this, Natalie…I’ve edited the article to include your comment….and also posed the question…”then who is the female voice actor who does the prompts in the U.S.?”
Have a wonderful weekend, and thanks for stopping by.

I think its quiet bad that the guy wasnt even told he’s voice was going to be used. Personnally, i wouldn’t mind if told first.
