How to Change Alexa’s Voice
The fun doesn’t end here. Ask Alexa to “introduce you to Samuel L.Jackson,” and it will readily do so. Did you know that it is possible to change the voice of Alexa? But there’s a catch here, these voices are not going to completely replace the regular voice of Alexa for all time. They will come into effect for an interim period of time to speak certain predetermined phrases, recorded in the voice of celebrities like Ramsay or Jackson. This skill of Alexa is currently available only in the US as per the Celebrity Voice Program. It costs around $0.99 to hear our favorite Samuel L. Jackson’s voice.

Additional Alterations that You Can Do:
Ask Alexa to Whisper
To make Alexa whisper, lest you are not too loud a person, you can always turn on the Whisper Mode or Brief Mode.
In the “Brief Mode,” Alexa would give shorter responses replacing affirmative statements with a beep if you are not that talkative kind.
On the other hand, turning the “Whisper Mode” makes Alexa communicate in a hushed tone.
Change Alexa’s Voice Speed
So, if need Alexa to talk slowly, then just give the following command: “Alexa, speak slowly.” If you want Alexa to speed up the answering process then say: “Alexa, speak faster.”
