Celebrity Voices That Would Make Driving Directions Fun
When it comes to enhancing the driving experience, the right voice can truly make a difference. Imagine relying on your navigation app, not just for directions, but also for entertainment. Below are some celebrities whose voices could make any drive an adventure!
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Traffic-navigation app Waze has partnered with Arnold Schwarzenegger to use his ‘Terminator’ robot voice for driving directions.
Kevin Hart
Comedian-actor Kevin Hart also lent his frenetic vocal stylings to Waze.
Clint Eastwood
‘Do you feel lucky, punk? Then make my day and turn off at the next exit.’ Clint Eastwood might not be the most soothing directional guide, but we’d be afraid to disobey him.
Morgan Freeman
Who wouldn’t want Morgan Freeman, everyone’s go-to narrator and the Voice of God Himself, talking to you while you drive?
Meryl Streep
There’s no need for a GPS with multiple voices when you have Meryl Streep. British, Australian, Polish, Oklahoman, you name it — you want an accent, she’ll do it.
George Clooney
We’d all feel more confident in where we were going if George Clooney was our wingman. Just look at what he did for Sandra Bullock in ‘Gravity.’
Bob Dylan
‘With no direction home … like a rolling stone.’ OK, so you wouldn’t understand a word he said and would probably get horribly lost. But Bob Dylan would be interesting.
Scarlett Johansson
In the movie ‘Her,’ Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with a computer program voiced by Scarlett Johannson. Just imagine what she could do for your driving.
Samuel L. Jackson
‘I said, take a %#@%* left!’ Yessir, Samuel L. Jackson.
Susan Bennett
Susan Bennett, the original voice of Siri on the iPhone, would be a natural. And if you griped at her, she’d say, ‘This is about you, not me.’
Homer Simpson
Directions from Homer Simpson would be hilarious, if you don’t mind stopping every few minutes for ice cream, pizza, doughnuts, burgers, wings, doughnuts …
In conclusion, the integration of celebrity voices into navigation apps can add excitement and personality to driving. As you ponder which voice you’d prefer, consider how each figure could shift your perception of navigation and make each journey delightful.
