Amazon's Alexa voice options now include Shaq and Melissa McCarthy

Those who find Alexa's default voice too cold can have the digital assistant mimic celebs. Though, in the past, the only A-list impression the AI could do was everyone's fave badass Samuel L. Jackson. Turns out, people liked the idea of ordering a weather report from a superstar, because Amazon is adding two more famous voices to Alexa's toolkit. The new options include four-time NBA champ Shaquille O'Neal and Oscar-nominated actor Melissa McCarthy. Amazon says the SLJ skill, introduced for a limited price of $0.99, became one of its top-selling digital purchases upon launch.
