How to Change the Google Assistant Voice

One way to change the voice Google Assistant uses is to say hey Google, change your voice into your device. However, it’s easier to pick one manually. The following steps apply to Google Assistant and the Google Home app.

Which Voices are Available?

When Google Assistant first launched, it only had a default female voice. Google added a male option in 2017, and both of these initial options are still available today.

Say OK Google if Google Assistant is set up. Launch the Google Assistant app. Tap the home or Google Assistant button on the bottom of the home screen.

In the Google Home app, tap the profile icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, then skip to Step 3. Advances in the WaveNet technology that’s behind Google Assistant’s natural-sounding voice have made it easier to implement new options that sound just as good as the originals. Several new Google Assistant voices launched in the spring of 2018 and more options such as celebrity voices might come in the future.
