Though Amazon Alexa itself is an evolution in this era of smart speakers, the same robotic voice now seems really backdated. So if you got bored with Alexa’s usual robotic voice then Amazon has updated its few features to offer you some different voices. And here is a complete step-by-step guide on how you can easily change the voice of your Echo device.

- Open the Alexa app
- Go to the Menu
- Select devices
- Select the device you want to change the wake word
- Scroll down to ‘wake word’
- Select the word you want to give
- Then click Ok
Notice when the orange light stops blinking and you are all set to call it by a new name.

- Open Menu
- Click settings
- Scroll to ‘device setting’
- Select your Echo device
- Scroll down to languages
- Select the language or accent you want
- Save changes
