Voice preview
Play a preview of how the voice will sound when selected so that we will know what it will sound like before setting the voice.

Insane this feature doesn’t work. More maddening is that there is a preview button, it just doesn’t do anything. But if you look online, all the instructions say just hit the preview button - so I feel like an idiot trying repeatedly and checking every possible setting on my phone. Do better, Waze, you may be the best option but you aren’t the only option!

I thought I was doing something wrong bc I couldn’t hear the voice choices when clicking on them. OMG! I’m a “sweet southern bell”, but I’m about to lose my s#+% over this. IT’S 2024!! Let’s fix this! (Please….🤦🏼♀️). Thank you - IN ADVANCE!!

Yay! Welcome to 10 years of people asking for this option and nothing being done about it. Just have a voice sample button that says the same phrase like turn right or left. It shouldn't take 10 years in your backlog.

You've done this with Dashie who is a voice I don't want to use, so I feel it could be implemented with the other voices rather than me selecting one I don't understand and having to wait until I'm driving to realise I don't understand it!

Trying to troubleshoot whether the voice is working with my parents when they call me to use Waze for the first time and can't figure out how to make sure it will give them directions through Bluetooth!!! Seriously.

Since there seems to be a problem with Waze changing the voice you selected arbitrarily, having a test feature on the voice choice is important. I have had Waze change my voice choice at least three times. When I go in to change the voice choice back to my choice, my choice is still the voice selected. So how do I make sure my voice choice is my voice choice now? Having a test feature is necessary now.

Wow, such a natural thing to have when choosing/setting Waze and this doesn't exist already.
Not only it doesn't exist but it's set to Not Planned OR Not right now. Just Wow....

Waze comment about changing the status of this to "not right now" is there way of saying 'we don't care'.
It's a joke this feture has to even be requested. -

That's simply a pity. Also that the loudness of the voice can't be boosted. Google Maps does this for years.

Since you seem to have been ignoring the hundreds of votes for this on the other suggestions for at least EIGHT YEARS, the only thing I can think to do is increase the NUMBER of separate suggestions until you pull your head out.
