How To Change Google Voice To Male

Virtual assistants have traditionally been given feminine personalities, for reasons that pertain to the mode nosotros perceive voices. We're more likely to trust and take directions from a woman, according to studies, and a feminine voice is more likely to be perceived every bit helpful, while masculine voices tend to audio more administrative.

But non everyone wants their assistant to exist a "girl," and so companies have been slowly adding male voice options to their repertoire.

Google is catching up with this trend today. Google Assistant users can now opt to hear a male person vocalism whenever they interact with the app.

The new feature seems to exist rolling out widely, though from our feel, it's a bit flaky for now. We were able to activate the new male vox on several devices, simply when we tried to apply it, nosotros still heard the female vocalisation in many cases. This is probably a temporary problem, as the feature propagates through Google'south vast infrastructure.

2) Tap on the three-dot card push button and open up Settings

iii) Open up Preferences and and then Assistant Vocalism
