If so, you’ll be able to access the new Siri voice options as long as your device is running iOS 14.5/iPadOS 14.5 or later. But, do note that only the American voice variety setting offers the new voices. Of course, you can still switch between the various Siri accents with the Voice Variety setting in the same menu, if that’s something you still prefer. The selection you made will only be remembered as long as you’re logged in with your Apple ID. If you’re not signed in to your Mac with your Apple account, your Mac will not default to one of the voices that you’ve set upon boot. You can now exit the System Preferences panel. Check out all of them and select the one that you prefer. Right below, you’ll see the new Siri Voice setting with four different voices to choose from.


Two of them are masculine deeper voices whereas the other two are feminine higher pitched voices, though the voices are plainly labeled as Voice 1, Voice 2, Voice 3, and Voice 4, without any gender suggested or implied.

Now you have a total of four different voice options that change how Siri sounds without affecting the accent. No, we aren’t talking about Siri’s accent selection, which sort of allowed you to switch between different voices. Ever since the release of macOS Big Sur 11.3 software update (and newer, of course), Apple is giving users multiple voice options for Siri.
