She gets an extensive list of vowels and parts of words and numbers to virtually generate every combination

Not as much as many think. She was paid like any voiceover artist for a couple weeks job.

*Immediately looks up how to change Alexa's name to Susan." So now I can say her name with disdain. "Thanks for not knowing the answer SUSAN."

Siri is computer generated, but it's based on a real voice. There's no way they could have one person voice every answer to every question that Siri gives.

I've seen her before, I knew Siri was voiced by a real person even though it kinda doesn't sound like it. Sounds like something that could be generated with technology.

    In January, 1961, Mel Blanc was in a near-fatal car crash. He was in a coma for two weeks and was unresponsive. About two weeks after the accident, one of Blanc's neurologists tried a different approach than just trying to address Blanc himself: address his characters. Blanc was asked, "How are you feeling today, Bugs Bunny?" After a slight pause, Blanc answered, in a weak voice, "Eh... just fine, Doc. How are you?" The doctor then asked Tweety if he was there, too. "I tawt I taw a puddy tat," was the reply.

    There's an adorable video once where Nancy was buying chocolate for a young man and he had no idea that she was the actual voice actress for Bart Simpson.

    While other wonderful voice actors have voiced Tigger and Pooh before Jim did, such as Sterling Holloway for Pooh and Paul Winchell for Tigger, he does a fantastic job replicating their voices and brings instant happiness to me whenever I hear him voicing them.

    Frank Welker voices tons of cartoon characters. He's the current voice of Scooby Doo ever since Don Messick, the original voice actor for him passed away. He also voices Fred from Scooby Doo.

    This is cool. Didn't BP have an article about a woman who's husband passed, but he made a recording for the metro and she would go to hear him? Then they changed the recording, and finding out how much it meant, sent a tape to the widow? That was sweet.

    The Progressive Box? Not Cyril from "Archer", Jerry from "Rick and Morty", or even some of his guest characters??
