I was the original voice of Siri. Even though Apple used my voice without my knowledge, it's been a fun ride.
Susan Bennett is the voice actor behind Apple's first iteration of Siri, released in 2011.
Although Apple has never publicly acknowledged or compensated Bennett, she said she's enjoyed"being Siri." I got into voiceover acting by accident. I used to sing jingles for commercials, and I worked out of a few studios in Atlanta. One day, while I was there recording, a voice actor for another commercial didn't show up.
. I thought the script would consist of regular IVR sayings, like"Thanks for calling," or"Please dial one." Instead, I had to read nonsensical sentences like"Cow hoist in the tug hut today" or"Say shift fresh issue today" — they were trying to get all of the sound combinations in the English language. They also had me read the names of addresses and streets.
