How to Get Samuel L. Jackson’s Voice on Your Amazon Echo
Samuel L. Jackson helped me with some holiday baked goods this morning. By “help,” I meant the one who told me it was time to take the cookies out of the oven, a job normally reserved for my kitchen Alexa.
Amazon officially unveiled Samuel L. Jackson’s voice for Alexa earlier this week, and yes, there is an explicit version.
The voice does not completely replace Alexa’s voice on your device. Instead, he offers another option. This means that in order for Samuel L. Jackson to actually answer you, you need to indicate this when you ask a question using Alexa as a facilitator.
For example, if you want Samuel L. Jackson to wake you up in the morning, you need to say, “Alexa, ask Sam to wake me up at 7 am.” Instead, by simply asking for the wake-up call, you will hear Alexa’s voice.
Mr. Jackson is available for weather and timer updates, he can also be your afternoon DJ, tell jokes and answer questions about himself and his career. At the moment, it cannot help with shopping lists, reminders, or skills.
Unfortunately, you have to pay for this vote, albeit a small one. Amazon is selling this feature for $ 0.99 right now as an “introductory price”, expecting the price to rise to $ 4.99 at a later date.
To get it, you can say “Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson” on your Alexa-enabled device. She will give you a quick overview of Jackson’s available features and at the end you can tell her you want to purchase a voice and you will get it immediately if you have your payment method enabled.
Alternatively, you can also find the voice on the Amazon website and turn it on manually . This Alexa app will also be your friend when it comes to switching between regular and explicit versions.
If you’re a frequent Alexa user, this can be a fun way to spice up your Alexa experience a bit.
