MANILA, Philippines — A week after actress Rufa Mae Quinto posted a video on her YouTube channel showing her auditioning as a Waze navigation voice, the navigating mobile app responded to the comedian’s request on Twitter.
“Hey @imrufamaequinto, no need to audition. You can make your very own Waze Voice using your Waze app. Just head to Settings > Voice Directions & get recording. Bonus: you can share them with everyone via a link,” Waze tweeted.
