Wrapping up

While you cant use a Morgan Freeman voice anymore, most of these voices are much more limited than the natural Alexa voice and that could naturally be gleaned from the fact that it would take these celebrities countless hours to record every iteration and every supposition of all of these different requests.

While you’re not going to get everything you wanted from some of these you will still get a fairly cool novelty voice to use for a lot of your chosen features including your Alexa wake word.

If you’re going to try one of these I recommend the Samuel L Jackson voice because it has the most functionality.
