Yeah Baby, Make a Right
Another popular choice for GPS voice-overs seems to be the Michael Myers’s character from the Austin Powers movies which masterfully spoof the ridiculously drawn out death scenarios that James Bond found himself in for the last three decades. The villains always have a gun pointed at him but choose to leave him in a shark tank or stuck in a volcano where it would be inconceivable that he and the leading lady could ever find a way to survive. Yet he does, and the fictionalized British Spy Austin Powers exploits that annoying fact with a voice that amuses no matter what it says, even if it’s just “recalculating.” Finding special TomTom voices, such as Austin Powers is easy because our expert, Tricia Goss, already did the leg work for you. She pinpoints and links you to two viable sources for it at GPS Data Team and TomTom HOME.
