My immediate thought was that this wasn't ScaroJo but they wanted a voice that sounded like her. Which... No kidding, why do we think she was cast in Her in the first place?

Pretty sure that's the Juniper voice. See the live demo for the new sky voice that is allegedly problematic. Fwiw the client is glitchy when changes voices, so it may have displayed as sky.

It doesn't sound like her at all. People are getting primed hard, or we're doing "all white women sound the same" now.

Ha. That's not even the right voice (that is Juniper not Sky) which just goes to show how bad people are at this. Especially since Juniper in this clip absolutely sounds nothing like Scarlett Johansson.

  How are you so certain? The voice was only changed 2 days ago. I think you and several other commenters have totally missed the point. In a causal situation, I’m not going to do a side by side comparison or a spectrogram of the voice. If it sounds like her enough and in the right context, here she’s talking about movies she’s been in, I’m going to be fooled as are most people. Whether the voice is exactly the same is largely irrelevant.

    I listen to Juniper all the time and I've listened to the clips of Sky and Scarlett Johansson (as "Her") side-by-side. It's pretty easy to be certain. > Whether the voice is exactly the same is largely irrelevant. I find that argument extremely disturbing. The facts are we have a voice that was developed months ago, is a real person, and actually sounds nothing like Scarlett Johansson. The actress is not even doing a Scarlett Johansson impression. It's also just one of many selections. And yet, somehow, a crime has been committed?
