You know your voice, obviously. The original of,
I'll spell it, Siri, so my phone does not go
crazy all of a sudden over here.
But you know, it must be a little bit spooky
and eerie when that happened.
I mean, just tell you how.
I'm always wondering, how did that come to pass and
you became this voice?
Did you have all of these ideas that this would
actually become what it did?
No, actually, I did the recordings almost 20 years ago,
and I had to read thousands and thousands of these
weird sentences and phrases.
To get all the sound combinations in the language.
And I've talked to the other original series and they
had the same experience.
We thought we were just doing recordings for phone messaging,
and all of a sudden,
you know, I got a phone call from a fellow
voice actor in 2011 saying we're playing around with this
new iPhone 4S.
Isn't this you? And I went,
what? So that's how you learned about it.
My guess, How did you feel when that happened?
I mean, on the one hand it's probably pretty cool,
but the other hand? Wait a second.
Yeah, Yeah. I really had,
yes, I I had definitely had both reactions.
Part of it was like,
oh, wow. And then I what?
So yeah, and you know it it ended up being
kind of a life lesson because unfortunately none of the
original series were paid and that is because we didn't
have non disclosure agreements. So we can,
you know promote ourselves. I guess that was the the
feeling after us,
the next group of voices did get paid.
