The voice of Alpha 60 from Jean-Luc Godard’s film, _Alphaville._ Even better if my house spoke French, as I don’t.

_“Alerte! Alerte! Ma cuisine est sur le feu!”_

“My toast is done? Thank you - I’ll be down in a couple of minutes.”

Mine would be Imoen from the Baldur’s Gate games. It would crack me up to have my robot home respond to tasks with these.

“I am gone”  
“Yup”  
“I’ve done had enough of this”  
“Watchya want?”

Cate Blanchett most of the time.  
Morgan Freeman to do reports or read me the newspaper.  
Harlan Ellison tell me what went on during the day.

I don’t know who I’d get for everyday use, but I’d defintiely have Tom Waits for my alarm. That should wake me up in a hurry.
