Hello, I'm laughing, because I have heard voices better than what voice over uses. In fact, just as a matter of interest, many people recommend Alex. I have immediately deleted him, didn't like him, at all. I started off with Samantha, she broke with the 9.2 update, so I'm now on the female British Siri. If I so wanted Samantha, though, I could get the US female Siri, she sounds identical to Samantha.
