We’ve written so much about Siri lately. With the new iOS 7 Siri features, she’s more useful than ever before. One thing I’ve never thought about is…who’s the woman behind the voice of Siri? Surely it’s a real woman who lent her voice to our beloved Siri. As it turns out, there is a real woman behind the voice of Siri, and she lives right here in Atlanta. She ‘came out’ with an interview to CNN yesterday, and her story instantly went viral.
Siri was introduced to the world on October 4, 2011 with the iPhone 4S. Since then, Siri has of course become a household name. The woman behind the voice of Siri is Susan Bennett. She is a voice actress, and the interesting thing is, when she recorded her voice for a client eight years ago, she had no idea it would eventually be used by Apple. She didn’t know her voice would be considered for a then unknown virtual assistant named Siri.
