Do you think it’s possible to make one of those virtual personal assistants (Alexa for example) speak like Orac from Blake’s 7?

I will only ever use one if I can get it to sound like Orac.

    You can train text to speech but it is a bit of work. Prepackaged? Nope.

      I was always disappointed that celebrity and character voice packs weren’t a thing for the voice-assistant platforms. I’d pay literal ones of dollars for a voice assistant with a Sebastian Michaelis intonation and theming.

      Cortana for Windows Phone came closest, I think they did use the same voice actress as the game character.
