How To Change Alexa’s Voice On Your Phone Or Echo Device
Amazon’s AI assistant has a new default voice and a few celebrity options. Let’s take a quick look at how to switch your Echo devices to any of these alternative voices.
Many Echo owners may not even realize it, but it is possible to change the voice your Amazon Echo devices use. There is now a second male voice Alexa can swap to for the full range of Echo functionality, as well as a variety of accented options from Australia, Great Britain, Canada (yes, really), and India. On top of these options, there is also a handful of celebrity voices you can choose for most common Echo functions as well. This option is available across a wide range of Echo units, going as far back as the downright ancient 2nd-gen Echo Dot
The process is a simple one that takes just a few seconds whether you choose to complete it on the Echo device itself, or via the Amazon Alexa smartphone app. We’ll run you through both methods below, with our demo video and step-by-step guide for each. We’ll also cover the process of how to set up any of the paid celebrity voices currently available, which cost $5 each.
How to change Alexa’s voice on your smartphone
- Materials needed: The Amazon Alexa app installed on any iOS or Android device and an Echo device
Estimated time: 2-3 minutes
STEP 1: OPEN THE ALEXA APP ON YOUR SMARTPHONE
Open the Alexa app on your iOS or Android device and find the Devices tab (circled in red below). You’ll need to have the app already set up and signed into the same account as the Echo device you’re modifying. If you haven’t done this already, install the app and make sure it and the device you’re trying to modify are registered to your Amazon account.O
STEP 2: GO TO THE DEVICES TAB AND FIND “ECHO & ALEXA”
Within the Devices tab, you should see an option on the top left named Echo & Alexa. This is the section where you can control your Echo-branded devices, including Echo smart speakers, Echo Show smart displays, and more. It’s also where you can control the settings for your individual devices, including their assigned voice.
STEP 3: FIND THE DEVICE YOU WANT TO MODIFY
Within the Echo & Alexa section, you’ll see a list of all registered Echo-branded devices with their assigned names. You’ll want to find the specific device you want to modify and tap on it. In this case, I’m using a second-generation Echo Dot, which I’ve named “Study,” as an example.
STEP 4: OPEN YOUR ECHO’S SETTINGS PAGE
Once you’ve opened the page for the specific device you’re modifying, you’ll see its Bluetooth connections, Alarms & Timers, current status, and more, depending on the device type. We only need to focus on the gear icon in the top right of the screen (circled in red below). Tap the gear icon to enter the settings page for that specific device.
STEP 5: SCROLL DOWN AND TAP ON ALEXA’S VOICE
Within the Device Settings menu, you’ll need to scroll down a bit to find the option named “Alexa’s Voice.” It should be located right below “Wake Word,” which you can tap on while you’re in this menu, if you’d like to also change the wake word your Echo responds to.
STEP 6: CHOOSE YOUR VOICE
Now that we’ve made it to the Alexa’s Voice page for the device in question, you can select any of the currently available voices based on their national accent, with most countries having both a male and female option. Tapping each will play a short example of how Alexa will sound with that voice active. If you don’t like the new option, you can just select your previous choice with a second tap. Once you’ve chosen, the device you modified will continue using whichever voice you selected until you change it again.
What Can Alexa Do?
Alexa has a variety of general features but also has a lot of dedicated features, such as:
- Calling and messaging,
- Video,
