My Take
Few people have been heard by as many human beings as Susan Bennett, and yet almost no one knew her name. As the original American voice of Siri, she became an invisible companion to hundreds of millions, which I find genuinely poignant. Her background as a trained musician and backup singer for artists like Roy Orbison explains the warmth and clarity that made her voice so suited to the role. I am struck by the fact that she initially had no idea her recordings would become Siri. Her story is a quiet reminder that behind every piece of technology stands a real, irreplaceable human.
