A very exciting GPS voice coming soon!

The Homer voice and Snoop voice are soon to be joined by a very exciting new GPS voice, due for launch sometime very soon. We are very pleased with this satnav voice as it really pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible for a celebrity gps voice! If you are not on the mailing list yet, then sign up at VoiceSkins.com and be the first to know when our next GPS voice is launched. It is going to be a very exciting summer if you have a TomTom GPS and want the best celebrity voices to accompany you on your holidays.

Larry King wants to be on GPS! But Snoop got there first!!

If you didn’t see Snoop on Larry King talking about his GPS voice, you missed a fun show! Larry loved the idea and even said he wants to create his own GPS voice. That would be cool…Now Snoop clearly loves his VoiceSkin and watching Jon Stewart’s, Larry King’s, Wendy Williams’s and Conan O’Brien’s responses to him speaking about it, we’d say they love it too! You can catch up on these videos at our YouTube channel here.

Anyhow, you can see Snoop discussing his GPS voice with Larry King here. And don’t forget to watch Snoop take Larry out for ride in the Snoopmobile here.

New Irish Free GPS voice: Naoimh Touhy

The new female TomTom Irish GPS voice: congratulations are due.

A few months ago we recorded Naoimh Touhy, the new female free GPS voice of TomTom Ireland. Naoimh had entered the Today FM radio competition to become the GPS voice of TomTom Ireland and, to her surprise, she came first out of a 1,000 entrants! She received a brand new car and a got to record her GPS voice at a recording session in Dublin, run by our good selves.

The VoiceSkins.com team just wanted to congratulate her on the milestone of over 3,000 TomTom celebrity voice downloads achieved in a very short space of time. Her voice is truly lovely and she was a real pleasure to work with. She seemed to grasp the essentials of voice-over work really quickly, which was very surprising as Naoimh had never set foot in a studio before. Naoimh is a natural talent and will hopefully go on to do other exciting voice-over work. She’s in illustrious company now, sitting along side the Snoop Dogg GPS voice and the original Homer Simpson GPS voices.

Well done Naoimh!

Note: Naoimh’s voice is a standard voice – not a TomTom celebrity voice – and will come preinstalled on all TomTom devices sold in Ireland from April 2010. You can download her free GPS voice here.
