Lu’s role as the Taiwanese voice of Siri came to an end in 2018 with the roll-out of a second-generation Siri as part of the iOS 12 system upgrade. This is likely to explain why replies from Siri are often amusing and sound like multiple recordings spliced together. For example, a line about weather would be followed by remarks about history or entertainment. Interestingly, Lu said, the scripts often contained incongruously arranged sentences lacking logic. Each of her recordings had to be sent to the client for review to ensure the sound quality was consistent, the report states. One of the most unforgettable parts of the experience, Lu said, was that she had to maintain a tone as calm and flat as possible, refraining from using too much inflection or emotion her voice was required to sometimes border on being robotic.
