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.

Eight years. EIGHT years. EIGHT _YEARS_! Just precisely how far do you have your head up your backside that you haven't even assigned an intern code-monkey to this at some point in the last eight flipping years? Do you understand, at _ANY_ level, how stupid this makes your team look? In pretty much ANY app, for ANY reason, when the user makes a preference change, there is some simple way to immediately experience that preference change. Would you leave "language selection" or "dark mode" settings without some way to experience them BEFORE getting into a fully routed drive? NO. You let the user experience their choice immediately or almost immediately. Is your code base such garbage that it is actually DIFFICULT to get a selected voice to say something? I mean, it should just be adding "say('Hello, it's nice to meet you')". But how could it possibly take you -- and I know I'm getting extremely repetitive, but I have to say this again -- EIGHT DAMNED YEARS to do something that simple? Which suggests to me, a software engineer, that your code base is so hopelessly baroque and fragile that I shouldn't be trusting it with any decision making...

Please for the love of God don't give us 50 voice choices but no way to hear them without selecting everyone and then wait for waze to talk. So all the voice options are great but terribly unsafe to be driving in order to sample a voice.

Samples of audio files goes back to windows 3.1!!!!!

Google/waze get your **** together already

Can we at least have a sample of the voice we select to play when we click it so we can get an idea of what the sound is?

This seems like an essential feature that would be very easy to add

This has been a request since 2017. Just sayin'

Why/How can this not already be a thing?

This can be enabled by allowing the change when the phone/vehicle is not in motion.

It would be very helpfull

So inconvenient and time consuming not being able to preview. I love the different voice options, makes my journey more interesting, and not a feature that would take long to add

Wtf

Please create a way to preview the different voices you can have waze use. Like have a little play button next to each voice where it will say a sample in any voice you want to hear to possibly use.

Fine. I'm uninstalling until then. Do you know how long it would take to check all these out by just trying a different one each time I go somewhere? It's a little ridiculous. I mean, ringtones let you check them out. Why not this?

I'm missing a way to preview voices while choosing. You need to select a voice and start navigation with sound to hear what you selected. A simple preview button would be a good idea I guess

This! Please Waze!

I agree, it would be nice to hear a sample Waze voice sound. I don't want to have to go through 25+ names just to try them out. Ugh.

That's too bad.

This feature has been requested 7 years and seems like a ridiculously small implementation (just have the voice say 'Hi, would you like me to be your co-pilot?' or something when you select it in the settings?).
If you want to get fancy, have an option in the settings that disables the automatic previewing of voices or only preview the voice if a user keeps the name of the voice pressed for 1sec or something.

I'd love to just add it myself to the code-base, if only Waze were open-source...

When we are selecting a voice if we click on it, or click on the speaker icon, it should play a few example phrases of the voice.

Capacity to listen to a voice previa in the voices list.
