Ok,just because this question has been rattling around in my head like a pebble in a shoe for a while, I'm going to let it out.
If technology allowed any voice to be perfectly duplicated from a good sample of it, what voice would from a movie or tv show would you choose for you personal assistant like alexa or siri?
HAL came mind, but just a little too too eerie.
I thought of the original soundwave from transformers but he's only understandable under ideal conditions. Any background noise or similar makes him too hard to to understand.
Original cylon centurion? It was cool when i was a kid but It would start to get hard on the ears after a while.
Robby? Almost...
I finally settled on the glass hand's voice from the outer limits episode "Demon with a glass hand". I love the classics...

I'm expecting some of you to have some really good replies to this. Please link to a sample if you can.

So I have two examples that sort of fit what you’re talking about; the first is Benedict Cumberbatch reading World War Two wartime news announcements:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01zkdry
I remember them actually being broadcast on the anniversary of D-day a few years ago and it was mesmerising. I always though people would pay a lot more attention to the news if it was read like that.
The second is a series of short podcasts by Radio 4 called a History of Ideas, specifically the ones read by Gillian Anderson:

What a great way to explain how the universe works.

A little bit of righteous anger now and then is good, actually. Don't trust a person who never gets angry. |

I dunno if it's just cause Halo is on my mind (infinite gameplay today), not to mention having played those games since i was in elementary school. But Cortana came to mind pretty quickly. I'd have to think on some other options.

I kinda like Will The Creature that's the default voice in my voice dream app. He sound more or less like yoda.

Nothing at all. Machines pretending to talk is super annoying and a waste of time. I can read faster than they can labor out their canned lines. I don't need a paperclip giving me instructions on how to write, and don't need an annoying voice yammering about how to enter words into a search bar.

whilst im a bit more forgiving of the film but he is the weak link mostly cos he is the chap version of Aniston and puts in 50 shades of Tim into each film he infests

 You have to admit, Martin Freeman is in illustrious company with the likes of Sean Connery and Sam Jackson, in that the only character he ever plays is himself.
