Susan Bennett reveals more about the process of becoming the voice of Siri

Susan Bennett has told the story before of how she became the voice of Siri without realizing it – at the time, she thought she was making the recordings for an automated switchboard system. In fact, she didn't even find out she had become Siri until a friend played with an iPhone and recognized her voice. She only got the gig, she says, when the actor supposed to be auditioning for the role failed to show. It was, she says, an ironic role for a non-techy. My generation didn't grow up with computers.
