Siri now has a face! Voice over actress Susan Bennett steps forward to say that she is the voice of the revolutionary technology.
For the past two years, if you have been using an Apple iPhone 4S or newer version of the smartphone, you have most likely interacted with Siri.
While Apple won’t confirm whose voice it is, an audio-forensics expert has studied both voices and says he is 100% certain the two voices are the same. Susan, who resides in suburban Atlanta, has been doing voice work since the 1970s and can be heard in commercials, on GPS systems, and even in Delta airport terminals.
“I really had to weigh the importance of it for me personally. I wasn’t sure that I wanted that notoriety, and I also wasn’t sure where I stood legally. And so, consequently, I was very conservative about it for a long time,” Susan told CNN. “And then this Verge video came out … And it seemed like everyone was clamouring to find out who the real voice behind Siri is, and so I thought, well, you know, what the heck? This is the time.”
