Let’s say we’re at a place where personal AI is a thing. You can have it speak with any voice from any person in history or any media without any copyright issues or the like. Who would you want to voice yours?
I’m going to go with a classic, Majel Barratt. When I think of AI, how we use it now and how we could use it in the future, the Computer voice in Star Trek TNG - Voyager seems like a perfect fit.

That voice was an inspired choice in Pacific Rim too

Classic! Fools will be pitied.

I don’t think I could handle a sexy lady ai so maybe having my own one based on a billionaire I can bully would be nice
Pretty tough for me to pick a specific voice. The one non-negotiable for me is that it’s gotta have a hint of that digital and computer feel like Iron Man’s Jarvis, Interstellar’s TARS, or Portal’s GLaDOS.
It’s cool to hear digital voices getting clearer as time goes by, but there’s something to the slight digital artifact that delights me. It appeals to my sci-fi interests, I suppose—makes me feel more like a spaceship captain or something. I already purposely try to pick some of the older sounding voices for stuff like Siri or VoiceOver to get some of that bitcrunch or whatever those qualities sum up to. If I can get that robotic grit while still having an up-to-date voice that can pronounce and annunciate well, that’ll be Perfect 🤖👌.
Same. I feel like it’s a reminder that it’s a tool, not a person, and not something to be relied on too readily.
Keith David. I have a strong personal belief that one day that man’s voice will be integral to the discovery and/or implementation of the cure for cancer. I also think he would be a benevolent AI overlord.
- Christopher Walken
- Morgan Freeman
- Denzel Washington
- Bruce Willis
- Bobcat Goldthwait (he’s gotta do the voice tho)
Edit: bonus points if the AI is a little sassy.
Stephen Fry speaking into a jug. Wise and collected, with a hint of robot.
-
Alan Watts
-
Simon Templeman or Tony Jay (both in the Legacy of Kain series, Kain and Elder God respectively).
-
Morgan Freeman
-
John DeLancie. That man’s voice is honey to my ears.
Alternatively, Kari Wahlgren.
Edit: How the fuck could I forget about Stephen Russell? Give me Garrett or Nick Valentine, either would be fine.
Speaking of Nick Valentine, Humphrey Bogart could also be an interesting voice for personal AI.
And I also forgot the lovely Laura Bailey and Matt Mercer.
Peter Capaldi, and he needs to swear.
I’ve always wanted Bill Nighy voicing my daily life so he’d be a strong candidate.
Or Ash Sroka doing Tali from Mass Effect
Establishing battlefield control - Standby
