Google’s Gemini assistant is gaining more and more functionality, and it’s becoming a critical part of Android 15. The AI-powered chatbot can replace your Google Assistant, have conversational chats with you in the form of Gemini Live, and even analyze your documents. However, if you’re a fan of using Gemini’s voice assistant functionality, you might be wondering how you can change its voice to match your preferences.
Luckily, you can do just that in the Gemini app, and we’re going to show you how in this guide.

There’s only one way to change how Gemini sounds, and that’s via the Gemini app. However, this setting changes a lot more than just the voice used in the app. It will also change the voice used for Gemini Live, the Gemini assistant, and all apps that integrate with Gemini.
