How to Change the Google Assistants Voice – How-To Geek

Google Assistant has a voice that has become somewhat iconic over the years. People hear it and associate it with Google. However, you dont have to use this voice. There are several others to choose from.

Since its launch in 2016, Google Assistant has had two default voices. The one most people recognize is from a voice actor namedAntonia Flynn. At the time of writing, there are 11 voices in total available to you. Well show you how to change it.

To begin, open the Google Assistant app. On Android phones and tablets, this can be done by saying Okay, Google, or by swiping in from the bottom-left or -right corner.

With an iPhone or iPad, you can tap theGoogle Assistant appfrom your home screen or App Library.

Next, sign in to your Google account (if you havent done so already), then tap your profile icon to open the Assistants Settings menu.

Youll now see a long list of things you can do with Google Assistant. The one were looking for is Assistant Voice.

The default voice is named Red. There are several other voices to choose from, each named by color. Simply tap one of the colored bubbles to hear an audio sample.

At the time of writing, you can also have actor Issa Rae as the Assistant voice. This is called a Cameo Voice and isnt available everywhere.

Underneath the voice bubbles, youll see which devices will use your selected voice.

If youre using the Android app, there is also a section at the very bottom called Speech Output. Select Phone to choose how conversational the responses will be on this device.

Select from Full, Brief, or None. The None option will only respond audibly if youre using hands-free methods.

Thats all there is to it. Once you select a voice, it will be used from that point forward. If multiple people interact with a Google Assistant-enabled device in your home, such as a Nest or Home smart speaker or smart display, it will use each persons preferred voice selection using Voice Match.
