How to Change Alexa's Voice, Speed, Language, or Accent

By default, Amazon Alexa has a familiar voice that most of us enjoy and have become accustomed to. You can, however, change the accent or even change Alexa to a celebrity voice.

How to Change Alexa's Voice

Celebrity voices can be a lot of fun. Because entirely replacing Alexa's voice is a massive undertaking, the only complete voice replacement available is Samuel L. Jackson. Many fun voices don't are free and don't completely hijack Alexa, including Talk Like Snoop, R2D2, and Gordon Ramsey. Rather than completely hijack Alexa's voice, each one works differently, more like a game. For example, you can ask Gordon Ramsey to critique a meal you just made or ask Snoop to hear more izzles than you can hizzle.

You will need to download a celebrity voice here.

You can disable any downloaded voice by clicking on Settings and click on DISABLE SKILL.

How to Change Alexa's Language or Accent

Click on More in the lower-right corner.

Click on Settings. If you have multiple Alexa devices, you will need to select the device.

How to Change Alexa's Voice Speed

One option people might not know exists is how to speed up or slow down Alexa.

There is no setting in the app for it; instead, ask Alexa. Here are three commands that should do it for you:

Alexa, talk slower

Alexa, talk faster

Alexa, go back to your default speed
