Do you think it’s possible to make one of those virtual personal assistants (Alexa for example) speak like Orac from Blake’s 7?

I will only ever use one if I can get it to sound like Orac.

    I was always disappointed that celebrity and character voice packs weren’t a thing for the voice-assistant platforms. I’d pay literal ones of dollars for a voice assistant with a Sebastian Michaelis intonation and theming.

    Cortana for Windows Phone came closest, I think they did use the same voice actress as the game character.

      They did use the same voice actress as the video game on the Windows version, I can confirm. Or at least it was a very good imitation.

      I was really hyped for Cortana on Windows and then that faded pretty quick. But I remember hearing her voice and thinking how cool that was.
