The Woman Behind Garmin's Popular 'Australian Karen' Voice

If you like the Garmin GPS "Australian Karen" voice, you'll be pleased to know that she sounds even better when she's not being piped through a synthesizer and a GPS speaker. In fact, Karen Jacobsen is a singer who's done seven albums. Garmin doesn't keep its voice talent a secret, and Jacobsen has even done some publicity appearances for the company. Jacobsen very recently surfaced in an interview with the Houston Chronicle, in which she discusses life as the "GPS girl" and what it's like to have her voice telling millions of people where to go, and the fact that many drivers talk back to her. It's safe to say that most of us would like her to re-record that annoying "recalculating" message, though.
