I have a new man in my life.

I changed Alexa's voice to a very smooth New Zealand gent. My grandson was very upset and demanded I change it back!

I know he won’t generate washing and ironing, but does he help with housework, shopping and cooking? Will he bring you a coffee in bed? (Mine doesn’t do the latter either though.)

He sounds ideal Sago

I didn’t realise you could change the voice on Alexa 😫

Sounds perfect! 🤩

You can probably get him to organise a coffee delivery and a cleaner!

Ah yes, but will he pay?

Me neither.

I think I fancy a New Zealander for a change iykwim 😁

Is he Alex not Alexa?

Ah yes, but will he pay?

The Amazon account is on my husbands card!
This gets better.

I think he/they is still only answering to Alexa😬.
Very modern😂

I changed Alexa to Ziggy in the living room. He is a very polite gentleman and suits the room very well.
He also answers to Hey Santa!
To change your wake word do as follows,

Open the Alexa app on your phone or tablet.
Hit the Devices tab, and then Echo & Alexa.
Select the Echo you want to change.
Tap on the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
Scroll down to Wake Word, tap it and select your preference from the list.

I just realised I don't need Alexa.

I changed mine to a male voice, I think it's much better.

Sadly no, I think not Germanshepherdsmum... unless he is in control of someone's bank card like Sago's

I just asked Alexa to change voice. She/he then gave five options, speaking in that voice each time until I chose.

Oooh my Alexa is stuck in the back of a cupboard! I’ll dig it out and have a play.

GSM my lovely husband brings me a hot drink of my choice every morning! Though he doesn’t cook and is the MOST untidy individual I’ve ever ever known, worst than any toddler or teenager! But, he does get up at 6:30am every morning to walk our naught cocker spaniel, whilst I snore away, hot cuppa around 8:15 most mornings sometimes a tad later 🫖☕️

But does he put the bins out?

Great OP, sago. I’ve had a good laugh. Maybe I need an Alex too? Do you all find it/her/him very useful?
