Recreating Colonel Sanders for KFC Canada using Amazon Polly Brand Voice
summary
KFC Canada gets an exclusive Colonel Sanders voice built from studio recordings of a hired impersonator and converted into a custom Amazon Polly model, then wired into the restaurant’s Alexa 3P skill so menus, prices and reorders are synthesized dynamically in real time. The workflow is contract → persona and script → voice talent recordings → NTTS training → testing → deployment; it scales across KFC’s ~600 Canadian locations and preserves brand control via Amazon Polly Brand Voice.
