Steve Harvey was beside himself when he met the woman who went viral for sounding exactly like Siri and he genuinely couldn’t believe his own ears.

When iconic TV host Steve Harvey welcomed a mystery guest onto his show, he teased the audience by saying they’d probably heard her voice before.

Moments later, the crowd was left stunned as a woman named Cass spoke in a tone that sounded almost completely identical to Apple’s famous virtual assistant.

If you’ve ever used an iPhone, the resemblance was instantly uncanny, and as her viral clip racked up millions of views, it quickly became clear that this could be quite a lucrative party trick.

You can be heard in every American household if you’re a woman who sounds like Siri

A woman named Cass first shot to fame after a casual video of her at a party turned her into an internet sensation.

She explained to Steve Harvey that she’s always had a knack for mimicking sounds, but her most famous moment was when it was discovered that she sounded exactly like everyone’s favorite tech assistant, Apple’s Siri.

She likened her skill to how an artist can perfectly recreate an image just by studying it.

When she casually performed her Siri style voice in front of friends, someone recorded it and posted it online, where it exploded in popularity almost overnight.

On stage, she demonstrated the voice again, delivering Apple Maps-style directions in that instantly recognizable robotic tone.

The audience and Harvey himself were visibly shocked at just how precise it was, and to further prove it wasn’t edited or enhanced, Cass even recreated the voice in a quiet setting with no devices around her.

Interestingly, the real voice behind Siri has an equally surprising story.

Susan Bennett recorded thousands of phrases back in 2005 without knowing what they would be used for.

Years later, when Siri launched on the iPhone, she only realized it was her voice after hearing it herself

She has said that the only real acknowledgement she ever received was Siri identifying her as the original voice, with Apple never officially confirming it at the time.

Steve Harvey grilled her on what’s next

Things got even more entertaining when Cass was asked to say phrases Siri would never normally use, including slang.

Hearing the ultra-polished digital voice deliver unexpected lines made the moment even funnier, with Harvey joking about how real voice assistants struggle to understand everyday phrases.

Cass revealed that she wants to break into professional voiceover work, using her rare ability to carve out a career in the industry, and given her pre-existing virality, it’s easy to see why she’s aiming high.

And if Bennett’s story is anything to go by, a voice like that can end up being heard by millions around the world without people even realizing who’s behind it.

She might be able to go even farther than the original voice of Siri because people already know who she is, only time will tell.
