I’ll be honest, I like Alexa’s female voice, so I wouldn’t change anything. However, Google and Apple already offer different voices for their assistants, and a lot of people like it.
Finally, Amazon has also introduced a male voice for its assistant, so you might want to change it and that’s okay. In addition, Amazon also has celebrity voices you can choose between Melissa McCarthy, Shaquille O’Neal, and Samuel L. Jackson), each for $5, but they only support a limited set of phrases. All other phrases will be voiced by the standard (i.e. one of two, as of July 2021) Alexa voice you choose.
You can change Alexa’s voice both through the Echo device and in the Alexa app.
Also, note that you will change the voice or increase the volume on the device you are currently using. If you want to change the voice on a different device, you will need to repeat the entire path all over again.
Also, you can’t change your voice in the Alexa app, that’s a drawback if you ask me.
