Voices ... just by the way
Over on the thread about reboots, Magess mentioned the voice actor Keith David and fantasies about having his voice as the voice of an AI house. What a good idea.
Now who, I wondered, would provide the voice I'd like? I've always loved the cool, dangerous tones of Barry Clayton voicing the intro to The Number of the Beast ... but I might end up being afraid to go home to a voice like that.
This might suit me better. The gorgeous tones of the late Mr Rickman
Or maybe Jeremy Irons
Tell me, do I have a "type"? No, don't answer that. I do. I have a type.




Oh, Jeremy Irons could be good.
I think a lot of it depends on what you'd want the personality of your house to be.
I love Raphael Sbarge's voice... but I'm not sure I'd want him to be my all-seeing house AI. And I don't know that his voice is sufficiently... big? for a structure like that.
Don Warrington has always had the most wonderful voice, and I think he'd be a great AI. Also Alexander Siddig has a great voice. Mariella Frostrup or Francesca Annis for a female AI.
On the Alan Rickman bandwagon, always. Also: Tom Hiddleston. Or maybe Tom Hiddleston doing an Alan Rickman impression? Or Partick Stewart.
I do love a resonant-voiced British actor.
I would love an Alan Rickman voiced AI smart home. I might never be able to get some of my friends to leave though.
Clancy Brown.
My immediate thought was Alan Rickman, before I even clicked to expand the post.
Though Kazuhiko Inoue is a very close second.
