AggieDave 6 #1 February 16, 2008 I wish I could be the guy to voice the Garmin GPS maping systems for automobiles. The voices are so calm and soothing, I'd rather be the voice similar to your drunk college buddy being the backseat driver. "DUDE, U TURN...NOW NOW NOW!!!" "AGGGGHHHH!!!! YOU MISSED IT!" "wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...TURN, TURN RIGHT NOW, TUUUURRRRN!!!" It would be even better if I had the default voice setting so people would get a surprise the first time they used the GPS. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #3 February 16, 2008 We use the American chick's voice. Its soothing, too soothing "as soon as safely possible, turn around..." It would be so much better if she screamed "F***, you idiot, you missed the exit, now I've got to recalculate this bit**!"--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

sartre 0 #4 February 16, 2008 Are you kidding? She's soo condescending when she huffs and says, "huff.....re-calcu-lating". She's such a bitch! Karen (the Aussie woman) is much better. Although she says, "shool" instead of school. It's so cute. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,590 #8 February 16, 2008 Quote wasn't the tom tom systems supposed to get celebrety voices for theirs? Tomtom already has John Cleese's voice available, and here is an article about more celebrity voices coming: http://www.theage.com.au/news/technology/sextoy-sue-will-drive-you-around-the-bend/2008/02/13/1202760409149.html However, who in their right mind would want Ozzie Osbourne's voice?I prefer to be able to understand the voice prompts.Now Eastwood would be great: "I know what your thinkin' punk; Do I turn in six blocks...or...only five? You know in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself...""There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

lawrocket 3 #9 February 16, 2008 Quotewho in their right mind would want Ozzie Osbourne's voice Having Ozzie slur and mumble you the directions? Yeah. Have his quote on there, "Sobriety fucking sucks" during late night drives? How about having porn actresses do it? "Ooooh. Almost there. That's the spot! Turn left! Go straight. Faster. FASTER!!! JUST LIKE THAT! NO, NOT TOO FAST. ALMOST THERE! ALMOST THERE!!!!" My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFreefall383 0 #10 February 16, 2008 John Cleese would be fairly amusing. As far as comforting voices, I could see maybe George Clooney or Matt Damon. As for funny and/or freaky voices, how about Lewis Black or George Carlin?

kallend 2,162 #22 February 16, 2008 The GPS in my plane has a female voice. She says things like "Pull up, you are about to die", "Obstacle ahead, you are about to die". "Ground proximity alert, you are about to die", in a lovely soft, soothing voice.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

MrFreefall383 0 #23 February 16, 2008 That would be a little too comforting. I might not pull up anyway, I'd be seduced by the voice."If at first you don't succeed... well, so much for skydiving." - aviation cliche Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
