Alexa is a product from Amazon that allows you to use voice commands and thus control your home appliances or receive information in the form of a dialog with the AI. However when you often talk to Alexa, you may get tired of her voice or just want to change something in your routine. Alexa will not disappoint you – she has a stock of interesting tricks, she can talk in different languages such as French, Spanish, Italian, etc.

In addition, she can speak with an accent, such as Australian, Indian, British, etc., in order to adapt to the region. However, the best part is that you can change Alexa’s voice to that of a celebrity or famous media character. For example, Samuel L. Jackson, Gordon Ramsey, Morgan Freeman, and can also use their quotes and famous phrases.

How to change Alexa’s voice to Samuel L. Jackson

To change Alexa’s voice to Samuel L. Jackson, just say, “Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson.” Then Alexa will ask you if you want to buy the skill for $4.99. From there, you can also set up “Hey Samuel” as a wake word and enable or disable explicit responses.

You can also diversify your dialogues with Alexa after you have purchased a skill from the Amazon website itself. As soon as you say “Hey, Samuel” you can talk to the actor himself. But remember, he will not replace your assistant and you will not be able to shop with him or manage your smart home. You can only communicate and joke, learn new things and use many other commands listed on the Amazon website.

To change Alexa’s voice to a celebrity:

  • Open the Alexa app and go to More > Skills & Games
  • Then tap the magnifying glass and type a celebrity name into the text box
  • Finally, select a skill and tap Enable to use

How to change Alexa’s language and accent

If you decided to change Alexa’s language or accent, launch the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. Then go to More > Settings > Device Settings and select your Alexa device. Here’s more detailed instruction on how to:

  • Open the Alexa app on your phone or tablet. If you don’t already have the Alexa app, you can download it from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store
  • Then tap More. You will see this next to the three-line icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen

  • Choose the Alexa device you want to change the voice of. You can only change the language and accent of your Alexa devices one at a time
