If you've got an Amazon Alexa device and you'd like to make it a bit more fun, you can now add Samuel L. Jackson as a celebrity voice for your smart speaker or display.
Amazon is now selling Sam Jackson as a celebrity voice for Alexa. It's available at the introductory price of just $0.99, but after the introductory period, the price will increase to $4.99.
To get started, you can say "Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson". Because Sam Jackson is known for his more, erm, explicit catchphrases, you'll then have the option of allowing Sam to use explicit language or not. You do have the option of changing this later if you'd like.
From then on you'll just need to have Alexa ask Sam your questions and you'll get a response in Jackson's voice. For example, you could say "Alexa, ask Samuel L. Jackson for the weather", "Alexa, ask Sam where he is from", or "Alexa, ask Sam Jackson to play some music".
Amazon does say that Sam Jackson won't be able to help you with Shopping, lists, reminders, or Skills, so you can't have the actor completely replace Alexa as your digital assistant. Still, this is a pretty fun way to interact with your Amazon Alexa device, especially at its introductory price.
